The first thing I did when we got home was check to see if the peonies had bloomed in my absence. They hadn't. But the roses are beginning.
The garden has also grown a mini-marrow/large courgette and rhubarb flowers.
And I've spent some time today clearing the beds of bindweed and dead forget-me-nots. Still loads to do but I am definitely becoming a gardener. If only I could remember what I've planted and where.
Also went through the 602 emails I've received and was able to delete about 590 without reading. And am just being tempted by an email from the holiday cottage company we use. I - we both - need a holiday. But Husband has various hospital check-ups in the next month or so, so we won't be going anywhere just yet.
More holiday stuff to follow . . .




Some nice surprises waiting for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the garden did well while you were gone
ReplyDeleteStill plenty of summer left for a getaway! I hope you are able to book something you'll both enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI think that is mist gardeners trying to remember unless you are really good at labeling everything
ReplyDeleteWe have no get away plans at this point

Oh your flowers are lovely...peonies are one of my favorites...have had an early one bloom already but waiting on the rest. Take care and enjoy your garden.
ReplyDeleteYou just got back from a holiday and need a holiday? Well, yes, I can see that.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll get away for a much needed holiday soon.
