Our weekend guests got stuck in to help with weeding, digging & sowing grass seed and I planted the wells at the front of the house with the wonderful smelling Vanilla Lady (Nemesia) and Silver Falls (Dichondra). We also found a garden vac in the shed (left by the previous owner) and S had much fun hoovering up the old beech leaves still floating around. S also managed to tape up and replant our broken upside down tomato grower - this time with less soil to overbalance it all!

Another Day Another Garden Centre – Sat 7th June
A wee trip to Pentland Plants and we ended up with some lovely scented Vanilla Lady, Nemesias and some Silver Falls Dichondras for the 'wells' at the front of the cottage. Some Heathers and a couple of Saxifragas for the rockery, and a Lavendar plant, some ornamental grasses, another tomato plant and some grass seed.

Tomato Disaster at Dusk – Mon 2nd June
At dusk I was just wandering about the garden to check on the beds I planted over the weekend when I noticed that our wonderful new upside down tomato plant grower was on the decking, the bag split open, along with the beam it had been hanging from - goodness only knows how that could've happened as the beam was well wedged into the framework...

More Wasps Nests, Weeding & Planting – Sun 1st June
Another lovely & busy day in the garden despite discovering 2 more wasps nests in the garden shed! It was warm, if a little cloudy - perfect gardening weather!
