Look at all these bedding plants that have to be planted out in tubs, baskets and the garden. A lot of work, I think.

First, the big pot. This needs a plant saucer to hold any excess water during the summer months.

Then I have filled it with potting compost and vermiculite, which also helps retain water.

Then, Hey Presto, filled with lovely flowers which will grow and fill the entire pot.

Next this rabbit basket. To stop water running straight through, a plant saucer is used as before.

Now look at it. This Scaevola will be a mass of trailing flowers when I come back in August – hopefully!.

Now for the allotment. Hope you noticed my nice green wellies this time.

Wow! Look at the size of these now. Clem and Arthur will be very pleased, as you can see….

A little extra before supper!

Look at these lovely purple flowers on the French beans. I wonder if the bean will be purple.

A week later, and look they are green. I wonder if anyone would notice if I had a nibble. Gardening is hard work.

Look at these broad beans that I planted last time. I wonder if the flowers have a scent. No, but look at the size of the pods……

I wonder if rabbits like eating them.

Punch drunk on carrot tops!

Look what I have found in the lettuce patch! Someone missed weeding this. Good job! I love groundsel.……

This has seeded from next door’s allotment. And look at it in a week’s time………

What a picture! Even though it is right in the middle of the leek bed.

Finally, I need to transfer these cucumbers into the bed in the greenhouse.
