Here are some blooms from my back garden today:


Hydrangea


Pot Marigold


Poppy

Today I have planted out in the front garden some of the plants that I have grown from seed. They were getting a little big for their pots so I thought I'd chance planting them out. I planted out Silene, Achillea, Rudbeckia and Solenopsis. I know some of them won't flower until next year (that's if they live that long) but I couldn't just leave them in the pots.

I kept a few of the perennials back for when I remove the raised bed in the back garden later in the year, so hopefully they'll be OK in their pots until then.

Yesterday I went to a nearby nature reserve to see what I could see:



I wrote about it here and also posted a video of the swans and cygnets, if you're interested.

Talk to you later,

Susan.
