Sunday, a day to rest!!

Not in this house, the gardening carried on a pace yesterday, until the heat drove me in, but I managed another 4 hours out there.  This morning hubby and I have been out since 8:30am, we have been blessed with an overcast morning, so it has made the remaining gardening tasks a whole lot easier.  So without further ado.  Here is our tidy garden........for a while........ there is always something to do!

Lawn starting to go brown )-:




it was lovely watching the birds have a bath yesterday

Lots of daisies!


Wild strawberries, so fragrant







And to prove I have had some relaxing time I knitted another little hat.  This is some grey sock yarn by Zettl with the remaining bit of the yarn I dyed myself, I ended up with about an inch left after the flower



I am now going to spend the afternoon with some knitting, but first get some lunch I think..... bread, cheese and a glass of cider

All action in the garden

The warmer weather has certainly perked the plants up in the garden and the borders are starting to fill out. We are however, still having overnight frosts, my Castor Oil plant got caught a few days back, so this will need cutting off, but on the whole things are looking good.


The seeds I planted the other weekend have germinated and some will be ready for potting on


The apple blossom is not quite out yet so hoping it can hang on until the frosts are finished, the cherry seems not to be bothered and is putting on a show



New growth everywhere


Last year I thought my Wisteria was mainly dead as I only had one flower head and a few leaves, but no this year it is going to be a mass of blooms, must have been having a rest.  I will make sure to take some photos once we are in full bloom


Hubby is busy with the rotavator finishing the veg plot and I have finished clearing the borders of leaves and general garden rubbish.  All the edges need recutting but thats a job for another day, I have knitting to get on with
