I've been super busy in the garden. I'm trying to get a couple of borders back into shape. Adding lots of the same plants to stop it getting too bitty.
Last autumn I dug in a load of allium bulbs, it took me forever. I also added in some bare root roses. I'm hoping these eventually fill the borders a bit.
I did lose a fair few plants with the hard frosts in May. But since I o longer drive into Bath twice a day I have had more time to get things into shape.
My veg patch is mostly dahlias now, though I am growing beans, beetroot, courgettes, elephant garlic and lettuce outside. A few pots of chives, Welsh onions. Tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. Some of these photos were taken a few weeks back - so things have moved on....but a few by photos added to show VC that snipping one or two flowers out of a crowd won't lessen the outside display. I won't cut a rose for indoors
but a sprig from a shrub etc is allowed.
