Before the rain

Tomorrow is  promised a day of rain

but tonight it is lovely, just a bit cold

Three different Aquilegia's, the yellow is the best

hoping the blue and white will catch up

these are this year's star, I have passed on almost 20 plants.

 Peony, simply stunning

 I love the flowers on  my chives

each year I let them grow

they soften this tall pot with my bay tree in

 Through the Magnolia tree

still a few pink blooms

 Much better photo of my orange seedling

 Free Orchids

love these tiny flowers

 These larger flowers are just as nice.

So many pretty flowers inside and out, I love the growing season, I was given a tray of stocks in swap for plants, they are in the greenhouse, I plan to get everything in the ground last weekend in May.
The raised veg garden is full of growing neat lines, I will sow a few more rows of carrots.
The green houses are full, mainly bedding plants in one, the other is my hotter greenhouse and holds, chillies, citrus plants, Avocado, which is hanging in there. My Cucamelon is staring the thicken out.
On the decking the fruit bushes are full of flowers and tiny swelling fruits. The tomato plants have doubled in size, they are in a huge round pot. I aim to add a ring of French marigolds around the outside to hide the bottom of the plants.
Today Sam and Josh came after school, Sam and I took a walk to our local shops, he chatted all the way. I have now turned the football cards into Star War cards, Josh is over the moon. They are both coming back tomorrow, so loads more laughter.
I spoke last time of our day out on Sunday, loads of bikes going to Royal Wotton Basset, Dawn commented on riding bikes, but these are motorbikes, it's the Ride of Respect, which happens each year, 1000's of bikes meet at an old airfield and are sent around the route, which is full of people watching, we pay to attend and all monies raised are given to forces charities.
