So pretty!
My excitement is that I re-potted my tomatoes as they're coming on a treat and my yellow rattle is beginning to flower.

Re: The Good Life (gardening chat)
Have you put other wild flower seeds down, Duo? Or are you just doing the yellow rattle first?

Those are absolutely beautiful Wendy! And I am awed by Baa's sheer number of plants.

Re: The Good Life (gardening chat)
Thanks Shoe. They’re out of stock or in massive quantities everywhere I’ve looked so far, but I’ll keep checking. I’ve temporarily loosely drawn them in with twine and they look a bit better!
I have a massive bunch of things growing that I presume are from repeated attempts at wildflower growing in that patch. Or they’re massive weeds.

Wendy Agriframes does them in various shapes and sizes and has some in stock. I've ordered lots of things from them and they're really good (Bristol based too so local company)

I just cut the peonies that flopped! They’ve lasted about as long in vases as the ones still outside though so I don’t feel too guilty.

Re: The Good Life (gardening chat)
Does anyone know what this is. My mum planted it a few years ago and I love it. The pink flowers drop off in the evening and then there are a load of new ones in the morning. I do have a plant ID app thing, but thought I'd ask here first.

We put down some wildflowers but we haven't had much success. I think the yellow rattle has overwhelmed everything else.

Re: The Good Life (gardening chat)
My self seeding champions this year are the rose lychnis. Mostly in the gravel but too nice to pull up until they're done.
Hypericum is coming into flower
And the fatsia is looking massive again, after a big trim about a year ago.

Re: The Good Life (gardening chat)
It's opposite the dwarf rhodie which I have a love/hate relationship with as it doesn't always flower but this year we're good.
I've shown both of these before but I just loved the way they look in this photo

Gorgeous Rebs. I love the roses and fatsia!
Pawpads I am sure that's a cistus too.

Re: The Good Life (gardening chat)
Thank you for the Cistus identifying.
I have come to share the joy of my tree peony. I bought it just before lockdown, planted it and then Gemma the Dogbot sat on it and snapped the stem. A friend told me to leave it and see what happens and it seems to do be doing ok.
I'm so pleased.
Oh, I can't attach the photo. Just imagine it then.

It’s beautiful, Pawpads.
I’ve lost two tomato plants through planting them out. I think I might lose more. I’ve obviously done something wrong.
