I had things I should have done today, but it would have been mad to stay inside on the second hottest day of the year. It felt hotter because the sun was on full, but the thermometer showed 22° The site was busier than it's been in months, so nice to see.
Here are our potato bags.
We weeded the area behind, where the wildflowers will go, and all round the rhubarb monsters. I potted on the lovely hibiscus syriacus 'Marina'. I really hope it grows and flowers well, it promises to be beautiful! The two blue poppies We were given for Christmas are tricky to grow (from everything I've read) but gorgeous when they work. I put them in a pot because of the uncertain future of the site. One has disappeared but the other is still hanging on in there. (Fingers crossed).
I found a funny shaped stone, so thought I'd share it. How do they get to be that shape?!
Reminds me of the doorbell moose in The Banana Splits (blast from the past!). Now I've found a photo, it doesn't really look that similar!
Is it flint?
ReplyDeleteI think it is, yes.
DeleteI think I should try to grow potato on the big bag. Thanks for inspiring!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are ok as long as they don't get too wet...
DeleteThat is a weird stone!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the remaining blue poppy I wonder what/who got the other...
The other blue poppy looked quite healthy but then went brown and died back. It seems to be quite a common occurence with the variety :-(

DeleteIt was too hot for plotting here so we pottered around in the garden.
ReplyDeleteFunny to say it was too hot after the weather a couple of weeks ago!!
