A weekend in the garden.

It's been a lovely weekend for being outside. On Friday I went to a Garden Centre to buy some plants for my raised beds and pots. It's a small family owned garden Centre, eight and a half miles away, is that allowed for a non essential journey. It was lovely to have a drive out somewhere. It was late afternoon and only a couple of people there. I enjoyed the browsing. 

I spent some dosh. I wanted some heathers but they didn't have any. Some of the plants were quite expensive. I chose some evergreens. 

All lined up on the table in the garden. some for the pots and some for the raised beds. I bought some Lavenders, Hebe, Arenaria, Carnations, and an Osmanthus Heterophyllus Goshiki. I am no good with plant names, or where's the best place to plant them, or what soil they need. I read the labels and stick them where they fit best. 

Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon were spent in the garden in lovely sunshine. 

The sunset last night was glorious. 

This morning I spent two hours litter picking around the village. I knew there would be a mess to tidy up because I came across the youngsters last night waiting to get in the takeaway. Half eaten food was lying around on the steps to the Methodist Church, at the Lychgate, by the War Memorial, with broken bottles at the church door. Someone had very kindly ate their meal but puked it up next to the litter bin outside the pub. I went back home to get some water to swill it away. There doesn't seem to be a cure for the litter problem. 

My Census form finally arrived after phoning for it twice. Filled in ready to go in the post tomorrow. I like to scrutinise forms to make sure I have filled them in correctly. Can't rush these things. 

I think we have some more warm weather on the way. That will be nice, more time in the garden. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.  ilona
