Out in the garden

Hello, Happy Midsummer everyone..........

Today I thought I'd share with you what's been going on out in the Summerhouse garden over the last few weeks.  Ten minutes at a time I've slowly been planting up the Summerhouse border

Hanging baskets

and window boxes one at a time, with Geraniums trailing and normal in pinks magenta and whites, can't wait for them to flower

and also the trailing Sweet peas I bought by mistake 'here'

and when I was outside earlier I noticed they are starting to flower, yippee

so pretty what a happy accident, they are flowering long before the sweet peas planted in the border.

The border as well as sweet peas has a new Scabious to keep the bees happy as well as ,  Penstemon Orange blossom and Jasmine

Here's a close up, I do love the colour so

I'm nearly there with the planting just waiting for the Forget me nots to finish and seed before I can put in the rest of the bedding plants

The giant poppy in all it's glory

 The sweet peas just need to start climbing now, for bedding plants this year I have

Pretty Verbena

and Petunia which sadly the snails are also loving

Elsewhere in the garden looking to the future we've planted as new Honeysuckle

and a Clematis Montana,
 both replacement plants after loosing there predecessors over the past couple of winters.

The tomato's are in to, but are tiny it's sure is a slow old business this ten minutes at a time every week or so way of gardening but needs must and I'll get there in the end.

Wishing you all a very Happy Midsummer's day with this Mosaic of flowers, the pictures were taken in the Summerhouse garden this morning.
