Back to work soon

Its a bit overcast and gloomy today after three days of sunshine.Its raining so i dont need to worry about watering anything.The veg patch looks mad, three rows of little gem seedlings, rows of flat leaf parsley, and coriander.
The carrot seedlings have come up intermittantly, but the spring onions are patchy with large gaps between them.A few solitary basil have sprung up but it is very rocky on the far right border.I am happy with them.It looks proper veg patch-ish with neat rows of growth.
The gasmen have left a half ton of sand and odd pipes and boxes all over my grass where i planted the dutch iris.They are killing the grass by cutting off the light.I will be happy when they have gone taking away the rubbish that is strewn across the sidegarden edge with the neighbours garage and fence.
Five days on now at least,will need the garden to destress!!

ducks?

Return from the jewel of northern england

thats a off quote from braveheart about York, ransacked by William Wallace a few hundred years ago.We enjoyed three days of sunshine, and breezy weather.We caught a tan.Alas we mever went to see any public gardens, but i got lots of photos of wild flowers and from peoples gardens.
When i got back i walked around surveying the garden.Not much had changed really.My french marigolds are developing flower buds from under the black spot.The lettuces have grown one fat leaf!!
I trimmed the grass edges of the square border, and veggie patch.I watered everything.I trimmed the silver leaved cinnereria which was hanging over the log effect border.I trimmed the forsythia to a nicer size, more compact.
Its a case now of just waiting, and watching.More photos soon....
