Oh well done Sandra, thats going to protect them beautifully isnt it. Your front garden is looking so lovely, with lots of colour, hope you have a lovely holiday wherever you are going,

Garden looking colourful, Sandra.
I hope you have a lovely holiday :o)

Very colourful Bloomer :-) and an ingenius way to protect your plants,have a lovely holiday and hope you come back to some warmer weather :-)

thanks,Cinders..you know when you wake up,and something comes to mind ? Lol..been wondering what to do for a few days..quite pleased with it,and I shall leave the front open...your little 'Ballet girl' Fuschia is snuggled up in there,and doing nicely .:o)..All the bigger pots are in the other...we are going to Cornwall..weather forecast looks to be improving..:o)

Thank you,Terra..nice to see some more colour now..hope to get the others sorted tomorrow,as we don't go till Sunday..:o)

Thank you,Simbad....as long as my 'babies' are ok,I can enjoy the holiday :o)..still don't think I'll pack the sun cream.! Lol.

your garden looks wonderful! Good diea with the fleece thing..hope there arent high winds..I had one of these..all secured down..weighted at the bottom wiht heavy pots etc etc..strong gust of wind ripped the whole thing to pieces and the heavy pots ended up in the pond! Pray for mild weather :)

all ship shape tidy!! and lovely colours too!

Thanks Pixi..I hope it will be ok..two chances anyway..My plastic cover on the other one,is like that now,but had it 3 years,so had my money's worth out of it.:o)..a new one for next year,I think ..
.................
Thanks Sticki..I am pleased with it,this year..all that rain has done wonders for the growth..got it all weeded yesterday too..:o)

Love the planting in the long border, Sandra ... do the Euonymous send out plain green leaves at all? ... One of mine has started doing that and I have been advised to cut them off ... I'm sure your plants in the growhouse will be fine with the TLC you have given them! ... Enjoy your holiday ... :o)

Lots of lovely colour there Sandra especially on the Long border and hasnt your wallflowers done well, is that a big clump of welsh poppies I can see! the Heuchera Red Spangles is very pretty pleased I have seen it in flower as its one of the cuttings that Gee sent me. Will look forward to seeing the changes in a week when you return ! going to PM now;0)

I hope your plants will be all right Sandra. You've done your best for them. Nice of your neighbour to keep an eye.
Have a nice holiday ...

Looking great!
Enjoy your holiday!! :)

Your garden is blooming, Bloomer...and you'll have even more colour to look forward to when you get back.

Have a lovely holiday - looking forward to the blog!!! :)))

very colourful Bloomer, looks a treat :-)

Lovely Bloomer - enjoy your break :)))

Oh Sandra I think we all fret at leaving our plants even when its for a holiday thats for our benefit, lol, you`ve made a good job with the fleece, I hope we can all put them away soon, it used to be just the watering to worry about, I can`t remember wrapping things up this late in May for a very long time. Your garden pics are lovely, lots of colour in your borders, hoping when you return they are basking in warm sunshine...
Have a good holiday Sandra, will be looking out for lots of nice pics, lol...

Im sure you must be pleased with it ~ so you should be.

Looking good - have a good holiday :)

All looking good Bloomer - have a wonderful time and don't worry about us all sitting in the cold!! :-))

Your borders are looking beautiful Sandra, and your fleece cover that lets the rain in is mighty impressive. Cornwall is always lovely (No.2 son lives in Falmouth), so hopefully you will have some sunshine, and enjoy the walks and the cream teas!

Wow,what lovely comments from you all..thank you so much :o)
Shirley...I do get the occasional green shoot,on the Euonymous,so yes,it does need taking out..thanks for your PM,..and replied :o) .
............
Carole..the Wallflowers have been lovely this year,and still not looking tatty..and it is a big clump of Welsh poppies..I have let them be more promiscuous this year,:o)..The Heuchera is a very old variety,and had it for years,,I think there are some similar red ones now,and this is very hardy.
I didn't even know what it was,till I saw lots on here..:o)
Just replied to your PM too..thanks .
.................
I'm sure they will,Hywel..and I feel better now they will be looked after...not the best month to go away,where the garden is concerned..hey ho ! :o)
....................
Cheers,Lil..and we will enjoy the break..been a long winter...The Plane has just arrived on the south coast,with the Olympic torch,as I type...that is where we are going...I could have carried it for them !..just a day too late ..! Lol.
.............
It's starting to look ok,despite the weather,Karen..and the camera is raring to go and fully charged..all I have to do now,is remember to take it..:o) don't laugh,it has been left on the kitchen table,before now ..Lol.
.................
thank you,S.lad..it's seemed a long time coming..:o)
................
Cheers Paul...looking forward to it now..hope you behave yourself,while I'm away ! Lol..:o)..
................
I think we are all the same Sue,as long as the garden is alright,all is well with the world...:o)
...............................
I am,Sticki..just nice to see everything coming into it's own now..:o)
......................
Thanks Scottish..just hope we have half decent weather..not too much to ask is it ? Lol.
..................
ha ha ,Sheilar..we are going to Cornwall,not the Caribbean.! ..I could be doing the same....erm,I've packed a scarf and a pair of gloves ! What? in May ? too right ! Lol.
......................

Thank you ,Sheilabub,,hope the fleece idea works ok..it is raining again now,so I will check when..if..it stops.I will know whether to think of a plan B or not ! Lol...We went to falmouth a couple of years ago,and really enjoyed it...loved St Mawes too....we are going to Newquay..haven't been for years,but if the weather is decent,there are some lovely walks there,and surrounding areas...so a good base...and it was a good deal :o)..oh,yes,the cream teas,overlooking the bay...
definitely !..

You do have a lot of colour there, its so much more further than mine. Enjoy your weeks break and come back with some good pics to show us.

Sad to think that you have to fleece plants this time of year isnt it B? Still better be safe...... have a lovely hol and hope the weather at least stays dry! When we were in Newquay a good few years ago we used to walk the whole length of the beach every evening, it was great. Will you be going to Eden? Enjoy the clotted cream!

Thank you,Stroller..it's not looking bad at all,so should be more colour when we get back...Just checked their local weather forecast..again..seems like it's changed...:o) some nice warm sunshine from Tuesday to Thursday..that will do nicely...not taking the scarf now ! :o))
...................
Thanks,G.mage..We had very heavy rain all through last night..so went out to check plants this morning..it's worked..! ..and filtered through to the plants on the bottom shelf,which are stood on Capillary matting....:o)
We are staying overlooking Tolcarne beach ,..so it should be nice..loved walking over the cliffs there....We aren't going to Eden,but been checking out local bus services,,so we will be out and about somewhere..:o)

Plenty of beautiful gardens in Cornwall to choose from . . . have fun!

Bloomer who's a clever girl then? I'm sure they'll be fine when you get back. This is a time you'll be glad of any rain you can get won't you, as long as it doesn't follow you to Cornwall. Hope you both have a wonderful time...and I expect a very interesting blog will follow;-) Oooh nearly forgot, love your garden pics too....especially welsh poppies:-)

I am,aren't I ,Ba.?.:o) not often I do something right :o)
My neighbour came round to see what she needs to do..so all sorted...watering cans full,so no problem ..thank you,Ba...we might even get to The lost gardens of Heligan..I managed to find a bus route,and it doesn't take long to get there,..glad you liked the pics too..:o)

Enjoy..don't worry about me...stuck here in sunny Walsall:-)

lovely sandra, enjoy your hols :o))
