A Floral Bonanza

The flowers are out in full force this year and the Poppies are trumpeting the loudest. Last year wild poppies came up in some of my vege beds with no help from myself. They were the basic red colour with some opium poppies thrown in the mix.

This year there is a plethora of self seeded poppies (again in my vege beds) of all colours and fashions, here are a few pictures of them:

I went to the allotment on Monday evening for about an hour to water and also got chance to finish weeding the allium bed. We have since had a lovely heavy showery day on Tuesday so the plot should be ok till I visit again on Sunday.

I also have to make time to finish planting out my other squash family plants, I would have done it sooner but we were waiting for a tree surgeon to come and remove a stump at the back of the garden and his machinery would have needed to pass right were I have air marked for them to be planted. Now that job is done I can plant them out and hope to do so on Sunday.

Things are still quite hectic in my neck of the woods, my update on my other blog explains why, feel free to pop round for a visit. Hope life is treating you all well.
