the rain it raineth every day............today it dothn't, but we've had what seemed to be weeks and weeks of torrential rain, floods in England etc............the weeds and the snails loved it but a lot of our precious plants didn't..............as a result of the bizarre weather some things that should have been flowering in spring are still going strong.............chaenomeles, forget-me-nots, wallflowers........summer flowers are definitely delayed or didn't flower at all, day lilies still not out and normal lilies only flowering now...................Carrie's veggie patch is now a thing of beauty and pong with lots of seaweed and manure dug in and the spuds in situ............we got very behind on the planting because it was too wet to do much, but have stuck most of the remaining seeds in trays and pots in the greenhouse to see what happens.................we've decided to just not bother with the idea of seasons this year and the weather seems to agree...............
.............the Rescue Rose from Hopetoun seems to like having the greenhouse to snuggle against and has repaid the support with lots of beautiful pink flowers..............once again i had to cut the lovage which had grown to enormous height, and released from its shadow the bronze fennel is hanging in there and the oregano has come back after a very unhappy time in the cold and wet........
