I've had such a lovely few days, and basically its due to my antibiotics.. I'm so much better when taking them. All sorts of things are easier, I have normal micturition,, I don't have to visit the toilet so often and although I still get up at night more than just once, I go back to sleep right away. And I can go out, knowing I can go longer than an hour without the need of a toilet and so that's a relief. So I'm rested and have more energy.
And of course we've had sunshine. Yesterday I was too hot in the garden and had to have to umbrella! I've sown a whole lot more seeds, lupins as my original efforts didn't germinate, but they were 2017 seeds, so its not surprising they didn't germinate! I've started potting on some seeds I sowed earlier this month. Today I want to pot up my new dahlias as well as top dressing the flower beds. I tried to find some well rotted manure locally, but couldn't so bought some on line! Its all dry so mixed in with compost, our own compost, none of this rubbish peat free stuff, it will be perfect.
We even ate our lunch outside, first time this year, it was such a lovely day. Dh cut the grass and it nearly looks like a lawn instead of a tumpy field!
The lupin plant we bought, when we went to the garden centre is huge, so a big decision, where shall we plant it; where I can see it from the French doors, or the bed that runs parallel to the bungalow? I'm so excited about the garden.
Our front garden daffodils are sadly going over, but I've decided to sow some Love in the Mist seeds, there. They germinate readily and will be tall enough to peep up over that little wall that borders the lawn. I've ordered 5 pkts of 1500 seeds!!
Watch this space!
Are you ready for our sunshiny days ahead altho' at the moment we could do with rain!

What a wonderful day and it sounds like a beautiful plant. I'm envious of how many flowers that you can have, because here with the herd of deer I'm very restricted. I do have flowers but there's so many I would like to have more of and can't. So I'll be looking forward to your photos.
Its interesting to read about your life in Wales. My ancestors are from around there, with a bit of Ireland and Scotland thrown in. We, too, could use the rain. Lots of threatening skies and wind yesterday, no rain. Guess I will have to hand water everything! What you call Lupines we call Bluebonnets, and they are coming up like crazy on all of the highways.
It will be a while before we are eating on the patio this year. It is snowing again today. Enjoy the garden!
Love-in-a-mi9st is one of m y favourite flowers, though ours don't seem to self-seed as much as I expected. I've given up on lupins - I love them, but they just don't grow in our garden.
I'm happy to hear you are doing well!
We like lupines but they won't grow here. Those blue flowers in your photo are so pretty!
Just wondering what your objection to peat - free compost is. I can recommend Melcourt brand. Please don’t buy anything with peat in it for the sake of the planet. Thank you Jx
So pleased to read you are doing better.
The weather recently has been so much better ... listening to the forecast earlier it seems that for many areas of the UK the first week of April is set fair for more sunshine :)
All the best Jan
So glad to read that you are feeling better. Hope it continues. Your garden will be full of flowers come summer!
A swathe of Love in a Mist looks amazing in any summer border or along a wall, especially the blue one {is it Miss Jekyll?} Glad to hear you are feeling better, and just in time for the sunny weekend that is forecast!
I envy your sunshine and warmth. We have snow in the forecast again.
