Weeds in the sun!

Nice blog Lulu. Dont do too much too soon, or your back will give you lots of trouble. Your lawn is huge, must take ages to mow it.

nice blog Lou and lovely photos, Cinders did you not notice she has a seat in that long flower border, bet she has been sat there all day, !!!!

I did notice that Yorks, who is she trying to kid eh ?

we are far to smart for her Cinders, she is just a young kid at the moment, she will become wise like us one day, !!!

sure will.

Seat....where!!? Time now for a hot bubbly bath and a glass of!

Young kid eh! Ooooh my back, my legs, my shoulders, knees, feet....memory! Lol!

Oh we do feel sorry for you, go have your bath and take a glass with you, relax dear,

What, speak louder I can't hear you!! Where are those damn glasses, there's one heading towards me pretty soon!

I SAID GLASS LOU, YOU KNOW,YOU POUR WINE INTO IT,

Oh dear, what a hic cup!!

Bath Lou Bath, before you seize up.

I will seize the opportunity Yorkie! Think I seized up hours ago. I don't know, have a hot bath, with salts and still stiff next day. me thinks it's an old wives tale!! I will just have to hobble around Ludlow tomorrow!!

oh the puppies......xxxx and cutie sluggie and millie.....

thanks Lulu.....now I hope you've had a lovely soak xxx

I have Pam or else Mrs Yorkshire would get very cross with me! Sluggy was trying to eat the bubbles!

Well done on getting down & dirty, so to speak, Lulu! I love that blue Salvia, looks like one I planted last year, 'Oceana Blue' no sign of it yet.

I bet mine has died :0(
I collected the seeds, must, must plant them up! I think they are the most wonderful colour. Why are the hardiest salvias the least pretty?

no idea Lulu.... is that a walled garden, because we're so open here it makes me long for a real walled garden.. sigh..

The walled garden belongs to 'The Big House'!! My garden is ever so exposed and the pretty blue salvias never seems to last from one year to the next :0(

Love the blog, well done on making a start I keep looking at mine and thinking I should make a start, but it has been so cold here.

Pretty cold here too Teds but the sun did come out mid afternoon. I just have to do it pretty soon before all the other folk with gardens need my help!

Know how you feel, i've been in my garden this last few days and my back as been playing up. lovely big garden you have.

It looks great and all will come up well - we bought some Asters Norman jubilee today and there is a strawberry tree too we will buy :) I like how you have done your garden plus you have a lot of plants I do :D

It's huge Clarice, wish it was really mine. i just can't help myself making it into a nice garden, there was nothing here when we came. i just hope my husband wants to keep this job FOR EVER!!!

Lovely blog Lulu...what a lot of room you have. I would need to be a millionaire ....so many planting opportunities!! lol!

Lulu....I'll twin with you and the bad back! I guess we just have to be thankful we can still get out and make a start on our gardens eh? :) Hope the bath & wine will go some way to making you feel more comfy.

Do you get a yield from the wild strawberries...it seems they are thugs in your garden?

Your last pup at 3 months was sure getting big!! I can imagine it will have been rather chaotic with them all romping around before finding new homes. So cute though when tiny puppies :)

With a couple of thousand wild strawberry plants, they yeied quite a few kilos a year!! Want some!!
Am dividing plants now Karen as it's not really my garden.......but I am very proud as there was nothing when we arrived and I just can't help but make a garden as I have done every house I have ever lived in!

Wow....strawberry overload, Lulu :) Lots of kilos/year!! I hope you can tame them without too much back trouble.

You are developing "your" garden nicely so I hope you are able to stay there for many more years...it must be hard to leave it behind when you have to move on.

Super blog Lulu, lovely pics. lovely garden, loads of work, keep it up, it will reward you come August!!! Just love that gate.

good reading lulu..well done for making a start..lots to do but results will be worth it..great pics of the puppies..you softie hehe..

I hope your back is better now. There's a lot to look forward to in the coming seasons. I hope we get nicer weather than last year.
I hate those creeping strawberries. They are such a niusance.
Good luck with your flower bed :o)

Glad I did this yesterday, all frosty this morning!
Not quite as stiff as I thought I'd be thanks to Yorkshire forcing me into a nice hot bath!
Only a few hundred naughty creeping wild strawberries to go now!

We have a bit of frost aswell. Not much though, just enough to make me feel annoyed with it lol
Glad you' re not as bad as you thought. That bath must have done you good. I find lavender essential oil works wonders in the bath after doing something strenuous.

Lavender.... :0)

Great blog, hope your back has recovered! Love the cute puppy pictures too!

enjoyed your blog lulu, i thought milliepuss was doing something in her second pic lol, watch your back and dont go mad at first, all gardeners do it and lots end up braeking their backs, ease in gently,, puppy pics lovely to, dont they grow fast :o)

lol Sanbaz, Millie was marking her territory! Back is fine thanks, it is easy to overdo it, after all, we are not 21 anymore! But after Mrs Yorkshire told me off and sent me to my bath, back is fine!!
As for puppies, Sluggy is huge!! This time 13 months ago, she was the size of her ear!

Great blog Lulu! Lovely garden too! What a lot of hard work you've put into it, you must be very pleased with the result. The Rose is such a pretty colour. I've never seen Knautia that colour before, very different from the others. I know what your backache feels like. Ouch!

If you want any seedling from Knautia Macedonia I can send you 2 or 3!!!

That certainly is a long border, Lulu, I don't think I would want to tackle that now! Love the photos of Milliepuss and Sluggypup :)

I love that Alium photo with Sluggypup, so sweet! They were all helping me, not! in the garden this afternoon. It was lovely and sunny today :0)

Loveeeeeeeee the purple Rose I've never seen no so purple b4.

You she have plenty to keep you busy.
So take good care of ur back!!!

Hi Angie, It's a beauty isn't it! Flowers all summer, doesn't like rain much, it's called Rhapsody in Blue (I think!)
Back is now getting used to long hours of digging thanks!

Wow what a wonderfull garden! I can see why your back would ack, mine would too! have fun.

Hi everyone: spent an afternoon getting rid of celandines then found I could have left them for the bees!!
