A gloriously sunny bank holiday weekend deserves as much time spent out in the garden as possible! Our sweet peas that we planted more than a month ago is looking good and the new ones we just planted in the ground two days ago is looking healthy as well! We got pretty orange poppies and canary yellow irises growing out in the front garden now, and I already have my eyes on the seed pods on some of these lovely plants! :)
There's plenty more to do in terms of weeding out back, although I'd had a good go at it yesterday afternoon, so now the flower bed in the bottom of the garden out back looks neater, with bare patches of earth that just calls out for some more gorgeous plants to be planted in there! There's one patch along the fence by Jeanette's side of the garden that has aquilegias growing in a clump - white and pink ones. So we will probably get some of the seeds of the mauve aquilegias from the front garden (apparently Daisy was given these by her previous neighbour who used to live next door some 20 years ago and they're still popping out now!) and scatter them in between the white and pinks ones out back so that next year, that particular clump will look even nicer!
Went walking down to Worcester Park the day before and passed by a house that had these drop-dead gorgeous, giant orange poppies with mauve coloured centres. Oh I was so sorely tempted to nick one of the seed pods off of it. Must find out what variety of poppy that was!
