I have several lovely poppies trying their best to open up, but they seem to be dying off while still in transition …. was it lack of sunshine I wonder? Well, we have had a few days of warm sunshine now, but they are still stuck! This one opened up enough for me to see the centre though. I’ll be keeping a keen eye on them – but the rains are here again.
This Clematis – Nellie Moser – is doing great and I’ve trailed it along my little picket fence. It is a joy to look out on …..

Well, of course, being England – it couldn’t last long could it? … the sunny weather I mean ! After being spoilt with the most gordeous blue skies and warmth for almost a week – it turned nasty again. I don’t mind the usual showers or even the heavy rain we’ve been getting – it’s the sudden drop in temperature that chills me poor ole bones that gets to me. Still, I shouldn’t complain when there are parts of the world that suffer so much from earthquakes, tornadoes and the like ! Hmm – I’m living on easy street ain’t I?
Before the rains came I was able to buy some plants to begin filling up the little border. As I’m now the proud owner of a little pickett fence I decided a couple of Clematis would look good scrambling over it. No matter that I discovered too late that Nellie Moser grows 10ft x 10ft ….
Oh Happy days ……
