I thought I'd share some early summer cheer as we head into winter— a video of my wisteria walkway in full bloom taken a couple of years ago. 🌱 #gardening
Feeling a little better today. Thank goodness says Ted, being on duty & responding to every cough has been exhausting! Does anyone else have a dog that does this? Every sneeze/ cough & he rushes to give me a cuddle.

Morning all. Still under the weather Nose streaming, congestion headache & no voice! 🤧 I hate being poorly.
Usually I’d be really excited to see this parcel arrive but planting will have to wait. 3 super new additions I’ve chosen- Harlow Carr, named after one of my favourite gardening estates. 🌱

As poorly, rose planting was slow, still got 3 out of 5 (Coral Charm) in before the heavens opened. Wouldn’t normally deter me but as full of cold didn’t want to get soaked. Shame I couldn’t smell the scent of this glorious choysia. 🌱

Afternoon all. Still a bit under the weather so was planning a quiet day, then some of my bare root roses arrived. Hoping to get them planted later after a good soak ( them not me 😂). Hope you have a peaceful Sunday. Take care. 🌱

Final ( hopefully) part of my dental procedure today & to top it all, have a stinking head cold. This was my afternoon, snuggled up to my heated blanket. It will be a better day tomorrow.
