Awful weather - typical Brits talk

My courgettes are desperate to get out too Farway, so I'm waiting for later in the week. At least the ground will be wet!

My alliums are in pots with narcissi and tulips. No sign of buds yet, and all a bit wind-blown from when the tulips were all blown about and took the allium leaves with them!

We have some rain, but not very much. I was up at the crack of dawn Mrs Dusty's whip, readying wheelbarrows and the van for DD and DSiL, who've decided to empty more of the worldly goods container today. 😉 But… so far, it's a no-show. 😕 If they leave it another 45mins, at least they'll miss the rain.

I've nothing of great significance to post, so here's a photo taken this morning for any aquilegia nay-sayers who may be silently lurking. 😛

I am back home 3.30 am 🫣 Holiday was a mix of weather, winds were a bit fresh, and sun kept disappearing behind clouds. But a good time was had, now time for a detox and diet !!!
Braving a bit of washing as the forcast is rain so only put a couple of heavy items out. Done all the post hol cleaning and putting away.
Good news my Cafe au Lait is sprouting 👏🏻 the toms that I didn’t give dsis to look after are still ok too. The garden is lush and full of flowers, and I didn’t miss my peony flowers as so far they are still starting to open. Fingers crossed they do as it’s been in a few years without any flowers.

Not yet caught up with your news, but saw YBE s cat/tree whisperer, the tree must have needed a bit of pampering. Lovely roses too. Taff I love the bed made of tiles ,what a clever idea. I would celebrate the tulips too. I have some pheasant eye narcissi that are only just flowering. They are in a pot with Dusty’s aquilegia.

Grass needs a cut though !

My pheasant's eye are only just flowering too Wort! And only one of them (which is also very short). But at least I know i'm not alone!

We're currently marking up new beds with old bricks so that we can start weeding/cardboarding/mulching them.

Such a pretty garden Wort 😍 glad you had a good holiday. When does the detox start 😄

Saw alliums blooming here and thought of you. 🙂 What's a pheasants eye?

Pretty grannies bonnet Dusty. Like the colour but I personally prefer simple. Someone's been planting them on the moors which is annoying. So many wild ones aren't any good apparently 😲

Farway hope it was a good day, you sounded excited. Did he get your pot where you wanted? Did you get him to rearrange the whole front garden? 😊

The sun finally came out this evening when the forecast said heavy rain. 🙄 So they got the right things just in the wrong order.

My wall hydrangea is in bloom. I'm really surprised because it's living in a small space and not a stately home
