As forecast last week…

was rather wet, especially on two days,  which meant that I only got to do some plotting a couple of mornings.  I planted out the rest of the tomatoes and cucumbers Marketmore, and sowed more dwarf French beans, which means that I’ve now just about finished planting and sowing for this year.

The annual flowers that I don’t dead-head or save the seed from mostly flower from year to year such as the Love-in-a-Mist (nigella damascena).

I wonder if any rose coloured ones will appear among the white and blue ones.

The collomia grandiflora have certainly been a talking point with various people asking about them as they don’t recognise the flowers.

Several ordinary poppies have appeared this year although I haven’t sown any for some years.

Yesterday was breezy and dry so I dead-headed the rose Pretty Lady and rough cut the grass paths. I’ve been picking plenty of strawberries, and it looks like I’ll be doing the same with the raspberries before too long.

It looks like being warmer next week, but with more rain on a couple of days.

Have a good week!
