Haven’t been on here for a while been poorly with some nasty virus that really laid me out for a couple of weeks, but here i am like the bad penny!
Consequently i haven’t done much in the garden for the last few weeks and its looking a bit sad, :(
Anyway yesterday i actually got down to the garden centre i have been wanting some Pansies or Violas for my tubs near the back door and i bought these yesterday


I wasn’t after wallflowers but as i walked into the large polytunnel i could smell them….mmmmm sweet smell these are dwarf wallflowers so they can go into a pot next to the back door so i can smell them when i open the door, and the Violas i couldn’t resist sooo cute!
The bulbs are for my friend for her birthday, we always get each other a plant or flowers as both are avid gardeners, my birthday is in spring and hers autumn so plenty of ideas for both!
Right now am going to catch up on photos blogs etc., this may take me some time!!! Have also got some photos to put up hope everyone is healthy and happy!!!

I've got a headcold and feel grotty but it shouldn't last more than a day or two, i'll be very cross if it does.

Hallo Skilla! Welcome back - sorry you've been unwell. You'll have a lot of catching up to do!

Those violas look pretty, and the wallflowers will last right through the winter! :-)

pleased you are feeling better. just take it slow for a day or so and you should be ok.

Welcome back Sk, glad you're feeling better. It's a good idea to ease back into gardening by doing your pots. Very soon there will be lots more tidying up to in the rest of the garden. I looked at the wallflowers in the GC and resisted the temptation. Now I wish I hadn't!
