Mega delight, woke up to Rain....

lovely Linclass - you're a very busy person in the garden - can you believe the joy rain is giving us ! After recent summers :D Done a great job and very rewarding for you - I love the conifer in last picture with the stages of height!!!

Thanks Paul, I had to cut half of that juniper away last year as it was dying, it was a case of what the heck, so I gave it a go and am delighted to say that new growth is appearing, fingersxx it continues to thrive...

It's a busy time. You've done loads.

Hello Lincslass! I must say, it's well you're so good in the the garden, because your (very cute!) helpers look like they're on strike! All the plants look like they're thriving, and the inside of your greenhouse looks a lot like mine...not a square inch of bench to put one more thing down on! Isn't it great!! I just LOVE sowing seeds or taking cuttings, just to see if they'll grow for me, best fun...hubby thinks it's 'sweet' I think he really means 'crackers'! Lol! ;0) Well done on all that hard work...go and put your feet up and cuddle your helpers!

Well done Lincslass, you have certainly been busy planting up all of your baskets and containers. Where are you going to put the rest of the bedding plants you have grown ?

i like those green cage hangers and your helpers are good too

wow how busy have u been....its all looking great..

The one job I hate is hanging baskets...yours are sooo neat Lincslass, come and do mine..pleeeeze!
You mustve worked very hard cos your helpers looked done in lol!

Love your lazy helpers Lincslass, they are beautiful. Love your garden also, it is looking so good. I am impressed with the baskets and especially the large cage style hangers. Pleased you had rain at last, we had some overnight, it is so so much fresher out there this morning. Hope we get a little more today. We did get a shower before we went off to our cricket match yesterday morning and the smell was absolutely amazing in the garden. I had forgotten what it was like after rain. Happy Gardening

Pleased you've had some rain ...
... your gardens and helpers are all looking good :o)

You've been working hard, rain welcome as long as it does not stay, think we have got it all week :( plus this morning i was out collecting all the slugs and snails in the rain. your helpers are about as helpful as my two are :o))

wow what a lovely garden you have im so jelous and lovely plants you have to:) one word for it just class!
how big are your hanging baskets because you have planted lots in them and in mine i have only planted a maximum of 4 in mine because i was told not to put to many in them ? is this right or not?

Wow Lincs, how busy you've been. You're far more organised than me but I'm starting to catch up now. Your helpers are doing what they do best.......each to his own! I'm glad you got your rain at last, our gardens will take off now I hope :o)

Thanks all, must admit lots of dust laying about indoors but can do that job in the dark, lol
Mariek I never have a problem with too many plants, they`ll end up in daughter, sister, son and my Dads gardens
Personal choice as regards my baskets Mrrottie, I like to see them full, been doing them that way for years and they seem to thrive, however if I had fuschia`s in them then I would leave more growing space, this year I`ve put my fuschia`s in pots, expecting dry conditions and can move pots into shade easier,hows that for forward planning,lol.....

The mark of a savvy gardener Lincslass, thats a good tip!

Hi Lincs. A busy but productive day by the looks! Always a joy to see the end results isn't it and the satisfaction of seeing a job or jobs, well done.

Loads going on in your greenhouse with veg, seedlings and hanging baskets and a credit to you that you got so much done. Bring on the summer I say.....with a splattering of rain, I say:0))

Doesn't it make you feel better when you get a good day out there. I love your hanging cages Lincs, have you had them long?

A birthday gift about 5yrs back Annella, they are very strong.....

your helpers are not a lot of help lol

My helpers are in trouble Pondlady for sunbathing on my sweetpeas.

Lovely blog, the rain has certainly brought everything on hasn't it!

looks very good, nice to see your ceanothus has survived, by the way i love those unusual hanging baskets, where did you get them from, julien.

They are a set of three Julian, a gift about 5yrs ago, bought online but not sure which supplier......
