I went to the plot last week was Tuesday, after lunch, when I actually did some plotting for an hour or so. I removed all the dead stems from the the blackberry bush, which is one of the few jobs where I wear heavy duty gardening gloves. When I do get to dig out the compost from the Composter I’ll put most of it under and around the bush, where it will be out of the way until I need to use it.
I like dark-centred lemon yellow sunflowers but have never grown many as they’re mostly tall varieties. However I’ve found Garden Statement, a semi-double variety which only grows to around 30 in / 80 cm so should go well with the Music Box ones I’ll be growing.
Next week is looking mostly dull and unsettled , with more rain, so I guess that I won’t be doing any plotting.
Have a good week, and take care!

I have those thick, elbow length gloves for trimming rose bushes.
You’ll have a nice selection of sunflowers next year.

The local supermarket had some very nice bunches of daffodils for sale …they now look lovely as they begin to bloom and brighten the room.
The weather has been so dismal and next weeks forecast does not look at all inspiring. Your sunflowers will certainly bring a cheerful look later this year 🙂
Have a good week. All the best Jan

Well done for getting some plotting done. We’re still to rainy and wet to feel inclined but I think we’ll have to make the effort on the next sunny day.
Stay warm!

Same on the sunflower front. When they are so tall, it seems you need grow a field’s worth to see them at their best. Hopefully, your ‘Garden Statement’ will do as well as your ‘Music Box’ ones have done in the past. I found some ‘Teddy Bear’ seeds that somehow wandered into my collection. Says they don’t like to be transplanted but I’m growing some in a tall cup anyway and planning to give at a future plant share.

Nikki I certainly hope that they will. I think that starting them off in pots before planting out is okay, it’s being dug up and replanted when bigger they don’t like. xx
