Morning, everyone.  As seems to the the way with the weather, yesterday started sunny but clouded over by midday and come the evening it was raining.  At least today is different - it's already raining!!

I got my first lot of tomato plants (I never have any luck growing from seed and anyway I like a variety) yesterday.  I headed straight for Abercorn's as they were the only place that did sungolds last year and, yes, they had some so that was good.
I left them sitting out overnight intending to plant them today as soon as I have worked out how I will arrange them.  They're going in the blankety bed this year although I am sure some will go in pots too.

I want to move some of the containers around - that's the joy of containers, they can give a new look just by being in different places.

The herb/foliage  bed has gone a bit rampant!  I need to cut things back somewhat.  That sage was nearly dead a year ago and it only stayed in because I couldn't be bothered - and now look at it.  As for the oregano behind, it's quietly taking over the whole bed!

And, finally, the foxgloves Val gave me are doing really nicely.  I pulled up a whole load of babies earlier in the season and can see I will have to be ruthless.  There's one I want to move to the centre.  It's come up at the edge in totally the wrong place.  You'd think it would know better!

Oh, well.

(photos taken in the rain, apologies for the dull colour!)

I really do want to get those tomatoes planted out so, rain or no rain, that's on the list today.  I'd also like to look for a few more tomato plants and I also want some bedding stuff as there's quite a lot of gaps.

It's Groove first though but not the walk.  We are fine weather walkers!

Better get ready and start the day.  Have a great time, whatever you have planned.  How's your gardens coming along?  I know some of you are very experienced gardeners with wonderful gardens.

See you tomorrow.  xx
