Yesterday was scorchio which was just typical given that it was the big plant out of dahlias, more salvias, verbenas and nicotianas. We started the day fairly gently with Alyson and Nikki going off to see to the mowing, it was my 'rest' day from grass cutting so I ended up shovelling horse muck from the heap then onto the dahlia border, smelly and covered in flies in the warm weather but good for the bingo wings! After tea break we commenced planting which took us the rest of the day, culminating in block planting the sweetcorn and earthing up the potatoes, luckily Giles did the latter as it is the worst job of all! The garden is looking truly beautiful now and full of promise for later in the season so well worth a visit if you are passing.
