(It will cost me an arm and a leg, and probably more than what they're worth in money, but I have a feeling that when I look at what I've got, it will be worth it for sentimental reasons at least)

No idea on certificate costs but, from my occasional visits lately to garden centre, any established plants/shrubs seem to have gone exceedingly expensive here and would also cost an arm and a leg to buy/replace. No idea if that is same in Sweden.

Plants are of similar price there - garden centres are extortionate, actual plant growers are better and markets and Lidl are the best lol

I have a few very sentimental plants - a yellow rose that we bought in our rottweiler's memory and things like that. We're going over to Sweden for a two week holiday soon and I'll be taking cuttings with me and plant up there, just in case

What's made me happy today is my first wild strawberries being ready to pick and eat, but also the immense amount of stuff I've got done in the garden No tomatoes though, but hey...

Feeling rain on my skin - at least 10 drops.................Need more, lots more!!

Just went out and there are 3 flowers on the courgettes, 2 male and a twin female and looking in the bird bath, we must have had an inch of rain here last evening. I don't mind it being sunny again today.

We're still getting rain almost every day and are now at level five of seven for our ground water levels, seven being full and one critical. We came out of the winter at level two but with only a small snow pack to top up the levels.

Look what we got.
