4 consecutive dry days!! Time to rid pots and tubs of much overdue dead summer bedding - hopelessly late I know but with the amount of rainfall we've had and the river still in flood...........

Anyway a trip to Keith Bolton's in Lower Broadheath and a couple of trays of Primulas and a few Polyanthus later - suddenly it's looking quite cheerful even on a very dull and overcast day. I chose a paler colour to contrast against the backdrop of the dark Yew hedge. On the other side of the house, I've gone for some darker leaved varieties with hues of pink as well as oranges and blues. On the grounds that the Primulas will only be in residence for a few months, I haven't replaced all the potting medium either but instead added fish, blood and bonemeal with a few granules of Growmore and forked it all in really well. I'm hoping that the sparrows don't find them too appetising!
