Good morning everyone. I do hope you all had a great weekend and are all fresh and ready for work. It looks like being a better day here after some strong winds during the night. If the weather holds, I may get that weeding finished.
My Angel babies are getting bigger in the lounge. I told hubby there will be another batch to replace them later. i think he's getting used to having a tray of plants on the table watching him eat his meals.
I will be planting out a rose today. It was an orphan from a few eeks ago. A Blushing Pink Iceberg. It is going in the cottage garden with Freesia already a resident there. I am gradually going to change the rose garden as even though they do well on little water , it does get exceptionally dry in the front where they all are. We used to be able to use more water when the rose garden was first done but now have to ease back. I will keep a few favorites and move them to other parts that seem to have a bit less clay to dry hard.
The ones out along the shadehouse do really well as they get runoff from the epi waterings.
I have opium poppies coming up everywhere which is great as last year was a poor show. I was given seeds of a white one so hope they grow.
Hello Cody, thats a gorgeous Angel you have there.
Colleen. your babies here are all going really well so far. The cold and wet hasn't bothered them as yet.
Thanks for the cakes Marleneann . delicious.
Brian, thank you for the wine. Even though it seems everyone is busy, they seem to pop in late for a sip of wine.
Hello Chrissy. I hope you are keeping warm.
Better go and get my cuppa now and leave something here for you all.
Pretty Chocolate Hearts , Yummy.
Jean.
