The vaguely green-fingered thoughts of a rambling rose.

May - a force to be reckoned with


So far it has been quite warm and sunny, however May often has a trick or two up her sleeve.  


22c one day....then a cold arctic blast reminds us that we do not control the weather. 




This was actually an empty shell, beneath Angel's shrub (Weigela Wings of Fire), in the corner of the Long Border and Patio Borders. 


Globes of allium Purple Sensation above,  and peony Bowl of Beauty below about to burst open. 




The bearded iris have begun to join in the display in the Terrace Border. 


Oh and the wisteria is in flower!



Next week, I'm going to buy some bedding plants for us, mother-in-law and TMTC's aunt.  We have a local nursery that has just released appointment times to ensure social distancing, and if your name's not down, you ain't getting in.

It's Saturday morning as I create this entry.  Tomorrow Boris Johnson and his government are expected to announce certain restrictions to be relaxed. I hope they don't go too soon and too quickly and the mortality figures respond in the same inevitable manner. 

Stay safe and well.
