Catching up

A week away ,a family holiday , a brilliant time – but how to leave the plants behind! – you know the feeling – do I leave the greenhouse door shut and rely on the vents – or should it be ajar – and heaters on frost free.
The conservatory was full to bursting of precious plants – how much water to leave in trays – and will the mouse get the peas !! Anyway the risks taken seem to have paid off and most things have carried on well without us !!

Heliotrope plugs bought from Cheshire Oaks have been potted on – I love these plants – but have had no success in overwintering a stock plant for cuttings or growing seed – the bees love em and the perfume is so intense

Lots of work to be done in the greenhouse – pricking out – more seeds to set and in the garden I want to split my Hosta which is in a large pot and also to repot my various mints.

We have been to Pembroke – I will be posting some pics in the photo section – the flowers were amazing

Bluey came with us – she is very adaptable – and of course enjoys the walking

Back to the garden – the weeds seem to be doing well ! another job there!

OH is very busy setting up the allotment and my sweetpeas seem to be doing OK – I will set them out soon.

I took a tour of my special area when we came back and found that cuttings etc from last year are doing well

My Primula is making new growth
