**$Alert this will be boring for most ****

This is my garden diary in photos - something for me to look back on to see in the non growing months what is growing where and when the plants were in flower- I often dig up stuff accidentally! Hopefully this will remind me what worked and didn't, what I can improve on, add to or change. But also a reminder on what flowers I liked that can be started from seed and when to sow them. 

Rambling rose. Just flowers once in June. Definitely needs some old stems removed. Currently have a Viticella Clematis - Abundance - growing through it that should flower in July. I would like more verbena popping up..should take more cuttings.

The geranium underneath I love - grows like a weed - flowers for ever but its getting very dry and droppy at the moment.

City of York Rose - I love open roses and this rambler is a beauty. Currently also has a purple clematis - The president ( group 2) growing through it. Not sure why the rose hasn't got that many buds on it this year compared to last? 

Orlaya and cornflowers! I love these two together and fill a large spot. For next season I would like to try both a autumn and spring sowing for the Orlaya so I can rip the ones that start to look past their best and replace with a fresh plant.

My "veg" plot. I reduced the veg lot size last year. OH can't always help and I often get a bad back so reducing the work seems sensible.
So in my little patch:
I've got a two rows of beans - French and runners. I dry lots.
A couple of courgettes. 2 rogue courgettes - soon to find out what they are. Lettuce, beetroot, chard and herbs and Ive just pulled most of the elephant garlic.
Then lockdown happened so I slowly dug a bit more and added in some spare dahlias, snap dragons and any spare plant that I couldn't fit in the garden.
It's my favourite place to be Smile

And yes, it is chaos but that's how I like it Smile
