    Planted out butternut squash, 10 strawberry plants, a dozen beetroot, sunflowers and globe artichoke. Wandered round for ages with a tarragon and a Rosemary, couldn't decide, so dunked them in pot of seaweed solution to keep them happy. Just getting into swing of a full day's gardening when Bloke turned up with man flu. So that was an hour wasted! Have magnificent sentinels of foxgloves in flower, the peony is just on the brink. First pinks are out as well, will go back out to clear up and cut them for that heavenly scent. Rain forecast for tomorrow afternoon and through the night, so will finish planting up my mate's grave in the morning.

    Another whole day in the garden with that sort of what did I actually do feeling...

    I remember the last job of the day was pricking out a load of self seeded Alchemilla Mollis into a tray to grow on and yes-yes, this will become a pest in a few years time but not yet image I love so many things about this plant and its only real drawback is that it wilts a little in the hottest part of the day (big girls blouse).

    I also potted on some propagated plants desperate for leg room but not yet ready for open ground and before that I was busy tidying up and oh yes, I cut my Choisya ternata hard back today as it had finished flowering and was more like a wall than a shrub.

    Before that I took photos to keep track of things that need changing in the autumn and first thing this morning I was pottering about mumbling promises to OH about not being too busy today.

    So that's my day in reverse, now I can go to sleep and wake up one day younger image

    Rained all night here and today I suffer from a lack of ambition.Have gone up the ladder and cleared some gutters-but that's it for outside today.

    Wintersong, admiring your bayberry in the photo inspired me to go out and check my babies--I have 6 self-seeded ones in a pot, and two are 6" tall already. They are "Rose Glow" as well--and bright pink. Bonus!

    @Inkadog, oh how lovely! I've never had any seedlings of berberis......yet. I should very much like some although they are reputedly slow growersimage so future reports on their progress will be anticipated image

    I'm also not especially fond of their thorns when I have to weed or prune my mature Bereberis Thunbergii atropurpurea in the front garden as I inevitably get scratched, but don't they just add such sultry elegance to a borderimage

    @wintersong - always love your photos.  Your garden does you proud

    Have been trying to download some photos this evening, but it's not happening.  Kept coming up with errors, problem with website.  Will try again another day. image
