A Flood but all's well.

What a shock the weather was yesterday morning,  our weather station said  the temperature was 5C and as we went to leave the house at 9, it started to hail! So we waited till it had past before we set off for SW.. I keep my plastic hat with me incase and altho it flattens my hair, it all bounces back when I run my fingers through it. We didn't hang around after the meeting and drove straight home, glad to get back into the warm.

After lunch we had look my seedings in our little plastic green houses.


They are looking ok now, but when we looked in, the top trays were full of water..we hadn't noticed the clear plastic had  disintegrated and the rain had poured in! 
Oh no! But my tomatoes, pelargoniums, lupins, Sweet peas and lavender all survived. All the plants bought as bare root plants are growing too, but my cosmos are leggy, so I'll sow some more next month


A small primrose plant now 3 years old has spread, so I'll separate some shoots and spread them around the garden.


And a lovely cowslip growing well. We get them free from the birds!


I'm very hopeful of  garden full of colour again, I love sitting outside as often as I can admiring it.
How's your garden?
