    Hi everyone...this morning I potted up some Lavender and Felicia, which will hopefully add a little colour.

    and this aft I popped in 2 Black eyed Susan which should cover the side of the garage with lovely yellow flowers.

    And a quick question if I may, will it be OK to put some Lobelia in with the BeS, as you can see there is quite a bit of room left in the troughs and I would quite like some flowers trailing over the edges of the troughs.

    Thanks

  • Very little today.... just been relaxing after a long and hard working day yesterday.

    My H has been very busy though, building the footings for the playhouse in what was the 'dumping corner', so that's quite exciting!  Where will I put all my mess, now, though?

    Going to enjoy the garden more in a bit, have a BBQ, and when it cools down some, water some pots. 

    I've got quite a few plants arriving within the next week, I hope, so will be busy again very soon!

    Sheps, plenty of room for a couple of lobelia.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Supervised my OH laying a new patch of turf, does that count?

    Planted out various shady area plants that have been sitting in pots for a while, potted up three small trees, went on a slug rampage with scissors, sowed some sweetcorn to replace the slug lost.

    How about a thyme for the chimney, all the height should allow good drainage, it loves Sun and a small leaved one should take wind. It will end up trailing over the side if you pick a creeping one.
