Nursery

I went to the garden centre this afternoon, after a relaxing morning.  It seems it's not only a nursery for plants, but for herring gulls - so many chicks bimbling about and pheep-ing at their parents.  I liked this image of a very unbothered adult though, just hanging out on top of someone's van.

Tim stayed home to watch the British Grand Prix - which probably explains how I managed to spend an hour and a half at the garden centre (Tim always wants any shopping experience to be over as quickly as possible).  I picked up a bag of grit, a plant pot and a fair few plants, and managed to spend a mere £35.  Not bad!

Came home and had a cup of tea, then planted up a huge pot with some salvia, echinacea and achillea.  I'm so happy with it!  I'd bought a little pack of trailing lobelia plug plants too, so dotted those around various pots in the front garden, too, including the new one.

Pretty tired after all that, so had a nice relaxing evening with Tim in front of the telly.  We also popped out before it got dark to have a little wander round the garden, check out the new plants, and have a good sniff of the star jasmine and honeysuckle (so fragrant!)
