Well, no posts for two months! Guess I've been out experiencing life rather than just blogging about it! What have I been up to? Well, it was lovely weather during March so I managed to get out into the garden. Had some help clearing an overgrown border - it's now been weedmatted, covered in gravel and has a log edging. I put up my swing seat (ready for summer ! lol) and attached a trellis to a fence post at the edge of the patio to grow my honeysuckle up. Had several trips to the tip with all the cuttings and rubbish as you can imagine. The car smelt rather weedy & earthy for days! Bought some wonderful pots in a local garden centre, and a couple of obelisks for two clematis seedlings I've been nurturing over the winter. They've been out in my old plastic greenhouse for the past three weeks, I'm trying to harden them off. But the weather's been awful lately, rain, rain and more rain. So much for the drought and hosepipe ban! One of the clematis looks worse now than when I took it outside, the other is still just a tiny sprout. And the pots I intend to put them in are HUGE! I may have to resort to buying fully grown ones from Thompson & Morgan -
http://www.thompson-morgan.com/ The clematis I bought from that firm last year are doing splendidly, romping over the archway up the top of the garden. I want to take a photo of them but, as I said earlier, it's been raining non-stop for weeks!
