    Made more alpine gardens, did some tidying up, filled two wheelie bins with forget-me-nots, then tidying, did the watering, then tidying, some weeding, then tidying, started storing things in the shed, then tidying, had a long chat with Sarafi and then ....... gave up and went indoors for a cuppa. :coffee:

            I have been working local, so been looking forward to coming home and relaxing pottering about in the Garden. It's been drizzle every night. So it's been a bugger having to play with motorbikes in the Garage instead.

                Woop woop rained all night and still raining now. The ponds have filled right up-they really needed it!

                No gardening today. Did a quick potter when the rained stopped for 5 mins n checked the greenhouse. Now to clear out a messy cupboard with the help of my little buddy... IMG_8391.JPG

                        No rain today . So managed to plant a few more containers and a bower . Also planted Cornflowers and Laurentia among some Alliums . Alliums are gorgeous at the top and scruffy at the base !

                            Nothing done today, pretty much 24 hours of torrential rain. It's needed, just hope that wildlife haven't been overly disturbed by the downpour & flooded out of house & home! At least I can't complain about drought anymore, that's for sure. @alp Were you lucky enough to receive my lorry load from the skies? :)

                                I stupidly gave them a lettuce to play with the other day.. bad idea!! They ate the whole thing within 5 hours. The next day they were pooping clear liquid with undigested pellets! Never again.

                                They're back to solid poops now :thumbsup:
