      @Logan That's a cactus. I never bother about them. They keep looking like dying, but never did, but just look utterly miserable. And I raised my head and saw this beauty. So chuffed. I can send you a stem of the black raspberry if you want. Bet you wouldn't! Hehe! I'd better not be so generous ..

                Blimey, I am way behind the curve - I still have a load to plant out!

                I forgot to post back the photos of my view yesterday afternoon:

                    Good morning everybody! A bright and coolish morning. May the breeze be with us. Watered my plants as soon as I got up.

                    @Upsydaisy Love all your roses.. especially the twin pink ones..

                    @fat controller That's such a calming view. Aren't we lucky to have all that space..

                          Morning all - didn't get too badly burnt yesterday (no idea how!). Second phase of Project Garden will continue today, having done quite a bit yesterday:

                            @fat controller that looks great. I don't use the lawn edging, I'm always cutting the lawn to make more room for fruit bushes.

                              I have gotten fed up of having to reclaim my borders from the grass every year, hence the edging. My plants are ending up being planted out late each year (as they are this year), so I am hoping that this will make it easier to get the garden planted up in years to come.
