We girls got a day off from the mowing yesterday as Giles has decided we are unlikely to get any harsh frosts now so it was time to plant out the salvias. we had to prepare the border first, taking out the worst of the weeds and anything that hadn't made it through the winter then the salvias could go in, that took the three of us until lunchtime. We then moved all the dahlias into the greenhouse to harden off for a week or so before it is their turn, that will be a mammoth task as there are so many of them. Cosmos, helichrysum and nicotiana grown on in pots were also large enough to plant out,though we kept half of each back in case the rabbits develop a taste for them and we need to replace any. Quite frankly after all that I'm bushed, so I'm off to Chelsea Flower Show for a bit of R&R, I hope to bring you some exclusive pictures later in the week!
It's my birthday today and the sun is shinning for the first time in weeks, lovely May!
"Fly free and happy beyond birthdays and across forever, and we'll meet now and then when we wish, in the midst of the one celebration that can never end"
