A week in the garden

I've just had a week off work and at last I've been able to spend some quality time in the garden. Main duties for the week was to repot the peppers and late sown tomatoes. Then I planted a number of young potted plants into the bed to fill some gaps. The most rewarding part of it all though was simply sitting back and enjoying the view in the summer sun. Unfortunately the latter part of the week the weather was not so good but I was still able to do a bit of weeding and plant a lavander in the front garden.

The front garden is a real puzzle to me at the moment. Its just a plain patch of grass which on windy days must house the wheelie bins. Ive got two small shrubs that were cuttings from my mums garden this Easter. Once they have grown larger, and they are looking really strong, they will be planted in the front garden against the house. Not the most interesting plan.

One of the Hosta's has flowered this year. Bought and planted last summer both Hosta's have doubled in size. Only one has flowered and here is a photo of it.

Ive added another three Hostas to the boarder in the last week. All grown from bulb this spring. Of the eight in the pack six have grown successfully. The other two rotted in the soil.
