Thought I'd share a photo of my Happy Hosta under our Pear tree....   I also think I spotted my first Poppy peeping through the Nasturtiums, just in time for August 4th...couldn't have timed it better if I'd tried! The rest of the garden needs a bit of TLC this weekend so I won't share any more photos yet till the pesky weeds have gone & order has been restored once more! Ttfnx

It's been fun to see what's been doing well & what's not happy so I'll have a better idea for next year what to put where. There's nowt better than having your own peaceful personal space to go into at the end of a rough day & potter.....whether it's a bit of weeding, slug collecting (my record is 70.... in 1 day!) or just to water the bedding plants. Bliss! Ttfn x p.s - don't worry you're not in a time warp.... I meant to ...
