Diary of a weekend gardener

A catch up...

What with the rain and work I've done almost nothing for a week. Had a bit of a catch up today after it stopped raining - planted out the french beans and did some potting up and weeding. The tomatoes are ready for final planting out too - just need to decide where to put them.

Looking forward to meeting some of the BBC Gardeners MB contributors tomorrow at Dunham Massey. I had meant to pot up more plants for swapping, but it's not going to happen in time. A few new pictures:

Geranium himal- ayense 'Gravetye' This is such a great plant - trouble free, repeat flowering, pretty foliage.

Thankfully the orange tulips shed their petals before this peony flowered.

I'm not sure precisely which montana var rubens this is, but it looks pretty against the brick wall

Although unplanned, this azalea tones beautifully with the young leaves of Corylus maxima purpurea behind it.
