Nothing much to do in the garden again, pretty much takes care of itself...
Shuffled some primulas around according to what seems appropriate and planted some snowdrops that have been sat around in a pot...
Found beds for some homeless plants and quest fulfilled, ordered some more, various funky perennials.
Ripped up the lavender as they were making the dead nettles look untidy...calling time on an azalea and a rhodo too, found I'm not that interested in them after all
Had a hunt around for hosta #1 and actaea #3 to no avail, also have misplaced a campanula glomerata and a salvia I've forgotten the name of, but everything else seems in order
Garden centre day that has a fantastic kids area so dragged the whole family along . Saw oriental poppy beauty of livermere that I wanted but couldn't find available online so cleared them out. With some princess Victoria Louise too. Planted said poppies out when we got home, as well as more imperata.
Overall, net reduction of the plants 'stock' by 4, so a little more space in the garage tonight
Well my lawn as had its first hair cut, moss raked, dandy lions pulled out and a good lawn food sprinkled all over , also went to the garden centre for Gazanias but they are not in stock for another two week yet, so I bought this lovely Osteospernum
I commented to my other half about the disappearing compost and I got a physics lesson in response. Apparently "matter can neither be created or destroyed" .... but can 'matter' tell me where my compost goes?!!
Looks like lots of folk managed to get outside and do a bit!
We didn't get back until mid afternoon (antiques fair and then a walk around Hardy's Cottage), but I did remember to water our newly laid lawn and newly planted stuff... and also sprung a garden table and chairs from a neighbour prior to their yard sale, so now we can finally... sit out!
wow look at those lupins! I have 3 I grew from seed last autumn! to be fair I think I only planted those 3 it's this spring I've gone mad and planted hundreds! Wanted to empty slug pubs and add them in front where I planted sweet peas testerday didn't get chance...hope they're not hungry tonight!

That's pretty Flumpy.

I think I might have quite a few Lupins to plant out
