The garden


Yes i know the lawn needs mowing but the rest is looking ok.

New plants


I planted these on sunday. It was a lovely sunny day after 2 days of really bad rain. I spent quite a while tiding up the garden.

Back from holidays

Well there was no danger about the garden drying up whilst we were away. It has pretty much rained non stop for two weeks. It is sunny today though.

One new flower in the garden. The white "fast growing" tobacco plant I planted near the Christmas tree.









My gladioli do not look good at all. The leaves are shredded. And none of the seeds i planted straight in the soil have done much at all.












The beds near the house have exploded though - with lots of pretty pink flowers.








Plus near the back the silvery plant has a few yellow flowers on it. Not sure what this is.











We saw lots of foxgloves in Scotland which i really like. I will need to do seedlings and mini green houses next year i think.
