    Garden very wet indeed this morning but sun out now and warm so took some pictures - close- ups and some long shots for a change.  Too wet to go any further than a third of the way.

    Marion, have you been uncovering more of the terrace?

    Yes Joyce.  Lots of bamboo been removed.  It is a long job!  Boy next door just brought over his oca tubers for me to see before he planted them and as I told him I was busy searching the garden for big pots to plant up my dahlia tubers he went home and brought me a pile of empty ones!  All dahlia tubers planted now and I have brought down my grandmother's dinner plates to put them on in the conservatory.  Should look posh dahlias on 100 year old plates!

    I hope the plates are sturdy Marion. A few years ago I bought some plates from a charity shop just for plant pots.

    Post brought Acidanthera bulbs this morning so will pot them up and put in the front porch 'til summer.

    Love acidanthera - such a lovely perfume.  i have some that come up every year in the front garden. Yes my Victorian plates are really tough.  My grandmother had twelve children and they were used all the time.  They were a wedding present from the vicar and his wife whose housekeeper she was till her wedding.
