Garden Doings

Much better night last night, woke at 5.30 but corried down for another 3 hours. 

There was a piece in the local paper last night saying that our town and the surrounding villages was one of the places with very few, if any cases of Coronavirus........shows what can be achieved if people do as they are requested.

A white load in the washer, its very hot in the sun, although there is a nice breeze if you are in the right spot. I have spotted what I think is ragged robin in the border, one plant is quite big, so its coming out. The bergonia we saved from last year are doing nothing so I am planting geraniums in the pots instead.

The roses on the left of the arch at the top are starting to come out, the one on the right is at last starting to go up to meet the other one, buds on but no open flowers. A lovely white lupin at the top of the herbaceous bed. Thanks to the very dry weather in the spring both lupins have survived, the other one is just putting the flower spikes up now, I think its purple.

The compassion rose has one bud open, right at the top of the fence, reaching for the sky.



You can just catch the scent on the breeze.

Prepped the wedges for tonights supper. DB has requested brad and butter rather than peas. He has been putting more preservative on the coal house that was. 

Morning tea in the garden, very pleasant sitting on the bench for a break.

So supper tonight is fish and chips with bread and butter. I might open another tin of fruit out of the store cupboard. I ordered more of the apple chutney at the weekend, it arrived yesterday, so 2 apple chutney, one bread and cheese chutney, Apricot and one jar of mango and ginger. Should keep him going for a while.


Decided to do a dessert after all, poached pears with the first of our strawberries from the garden.
