I like many others am praying for a good session of rain. The wind is as drying round here as the sun…?
Regardless to this I havent been put off, if anything it makes me more dtermined. And when it gets too windy then I just hit the garden centres..
I have recently bought some
Fuchsia Winston Churchill basket plug plants
3 Dicentra Spectabilis Alba – Bare Root Crowns
3 Dicentra Spectabilis-Bleeding Heart Bare Root Crowns,
ANEMONE DE CAEN BULBS,
OXALIS IRON CROSS BULBS
Wild Flower – Linaria vulgaris – Toadflax -
Herb – Lavender – Hidcote Blue
Wild Flower – Scabiosa columbaria
Im not sure whether the anemone bulbs or OXALIS IRON CROSS BULBS will flower this year but will put them in the ground and see, if not it will be very exciting next year when they all pop up.Am loving my wildflowers especially since we have the wildlife area now and the whole probblem with lack of bees, I feel like im doing my “bit” to help.
The bleeding hearts again will be no sign for a long time yet, but have been drooling over them on GOY so treated my self, another nice surprise for next year I hope. Am desperate to get another bed cut out in the back garden but as it hasnt rained properly the ground is much to hard for me to attempt, being the feeble little Mookins that I am will wait a bit longer.other than that my plants are just sitting around dwardling over their attempts to grow so have no amazing photos to put up so am off now to do my rain dance and check my new solar garden lights

You have got some good lot of plants there Mookins.
I am going out now to plant mine, the rain has eased a bit.
I love planting as soon as the rain has stopped.
