A LITTLE MIRACLE (or three)....

Glad you found some miracles, Llew! And I think you're right, we are all in our gardens being amazed by nature. Lovely day here today, very warm although cloudy. A little rain late afternoon but I would like a bit more as everything is very dry.

It is amazing how rain perks everything up, we could do with some more..........liked the photos.

Looks good ;Llew....I wish we could have some rain here....All my water butts are empty and its very overcast, but we still havent had a drop. Like yous, the plants are all beginning to look thirsty. I shall have to resort to the hose pipe soon.............

ive just been out and the rain is really making a difference so yes Llew I think they are all very happy. Almost gurgling in delight. your plants are looking fab, your bleeding hearts are beautiful, I recently bought some bare root crowns so will be waiting for ages for mine, I have also ordered the centaurea arent they magnificent, very much in love with these

It's still tipping down with rain here, so all I can do at the mo is look out the window, ha,ha. But..my ebay plants have arrived so come rain or shine, I will need to get them planted this weekend. I'm going to put the Polemonium and the Echinacea into pots but the Cornus will go in the ground. They're not very big, but they look OK, so I'm quite pleased at the mo. <big grin>

I need to be outside...we have had three days of rain. I think it's time for a day or two of dry weather, don't you?

Glad your plants arrived!

I had a parcel yesterday, a metal obelisk to match the one I got last year - they said it would take 14 days but it came in 3!!! How good is that?

Its pouring down here in the south east, all I can do is worry about the booming slug population. the garden is growing like mad but its still too green, cant wait for the roses to open. and its official, there is no more bare earth for me to plant anything in, so what will I do with all the seedlings I have? Im glad your centaurea survived, im sure it will be ok now

Another non-miracle today. Boo hoo!!!! I am so very fed up with this wind.

It's the first time I've grown Aliums and there were 5 stems with buds on. One, the first to show was breaking out. This morning, the wind had blown it clean in half.

It's weird the emotions we feel for our plants isn't it? but I'm so, so disappointed. I was really looking forward to seeing it. Oh well, I'll just have to hope that the others come up ok. :o)

We are having a mixed day,rains for a while then sunshine but unfortunately the wind is drying eveything so we aren,t really getting any benefit,I have managed to mow the lawns tho.pleased you didn,t lose all the roses and yes I also have a liking for centaurea.......

I bent over to plant some osteospermums this aft and my bum hit my lilies and knocked my largest one off. Had the flower buds on it too. Gutted again!!!, lol.

I'm beginning to wonder if there'll be anything left to flower at all. Ha, ha.

That Centura looks divine! I'm gonna have to get one! Accidents are inevitable in the garden, so don't feel bad about it! My hubby has plenty of accidents in the kitchen, so that equals it out, teehee!
