pride and joy

My pride and joy; Flossy, Miles.......and the first flower in my South facing bed! I'm hoping there won't be a break in the colour 'til November.

A job for another day

 This, I am ashamed to say, is the inside of my shed.
It's all useful stuff just not where it should be!!

An early birthday pressie

 I've always wanted one of these
and thanks to Emma, Matt, Florence,
and Miles I now have one and couldn't wait until my birthday to make a start.









 Tomato seeds in and propagator on.
All systems go!

The Magnificent Seven (feet)

The echiums are now over 7ft tall and buds are showing in the leaf axils .
I now need to keep a careful eye on the weather forecasts
for frost!

The good, the bad and the ugly.

I'm getting closer to my first flowering echium (touch wood) with some mixed results.....

...the good..
...the bad....

...and the ugly.
