The week has been pretty overcast, with only 2 days of good sun. Temperature-wise, it has been mild - it is only just May, so there is another 8 weeks before flowering starts, really... Rain has fallen most nights, and this is muddying the soil a lot. I've prepared the area and dug in some blood, bone and fish meal, along with some leaf-compost, worms and the robins are at the grubs and bugs - it will be a decent patch. My neighbour has decided to move her bin to her house, so she has no reason to come up past my place any longer - this is good. I don't like people. I don't like tourists. They decide to just walk into my garden because it's "secret" and "pretty" and they want to explore in private areas, but they run into me and they wish they'd never even heard of this place, after that... I talk them to death..! hahaha :p The summer is - according to local farmers - going to be a hot one. So, even though I know it's not "the best"... I am going to put the plants in a more shady part of the garden where the air is moving a bit more, so they don't get burned and stagnant. There's a tonne of bamboo that's taking over everywhere - I've ripped out so much, but the stuff just keeps on growing..! It makes everywhere feel very wet and it takes up all the best spots in the sun :/

Plants are in the ground with you and growing, I wouldn't worry too much about the rain at the moment, it's later on in the season when your plants are flowering that you need to worry about that!, sad news about your pigeon, I hand reared a blackbird chick with a broken foot, she stayed with me in the garden for almost 10 years, she'd even come in the kitchen and steal the cat biscuits from the bowl of the cat that had adopted me, nature eh, ill see if I can find a picture

@@Teh_Saccade,I think the crux of it is how harsh the winter is, she always had enough to eat and she figured out how to get into my shed and glass house, in the wild I very much doubt a blackbird lives that long

@Gorillagardener, Ten years..! Wow! Idk that they even lived that long..!

Some nice looking ladies? You got there, all of a sudden they look like proper plants, I love this time of year

@Gorillagardener, Ha! They have been so hard pruned for so long - I think they're making up for it with growth I don't have space for..! D:

Nice acanthus

@Gorillagardener, Nice! Thanks for the recommendations..! and also for the genus - I had a look and you are right..! I guess the other ones didn't take, but one is enough :D I have in there atm for some bigger leaf, a few different fox gloves (hopefully purple and whites) which are going well. A few I have even transplanted with good success, which was a nerve-wracking experience :p Behind those guys, I have a load of papaver somniferum (big purple and white flowers) which ought to start coming up next month and also in August, as well as some mandrake which has similar coloured flowers - a very nice and soft lilac colour. The bees love all the purple flowers :D

@@Teh_Saccade,hey dude if you're looking for large leaf stuff have a look at rodgersia bronze beauty or a tetrapanax the plant you have in the picture is acanthus spinosus, mollis has a softer rounder leaf

@Gorillagardener, He is a nice one..! I think that sea dock is called, acanthus mollis, and is from the Mediterranean area. Idk if it will flower, as the peony hasn't flowered again... but it is one of the few things that competes against the bamboo that I am constantly ripping out, in the war against it destroying the flagstones and popping up everywhere it is not wanted (I wish whoever planted it had restricted it). It was from some seeds that I scattered last year - I threw out several different kinds and a few have taken. Mostly in my neighbour's yards, for which they are grateful - so many new plants have come to this area with me - i'm single-handedly increasing plant diversity in this town :D

@Gorillagardener, Morning dude! Thanks! It was trashed after the last guy who lived here use it as a dump..! The house is still a bit run-down, but the front is finally looking decent :D

I really hope that the papaver somniferum come up - they are scattered all around with the poppy chaff in that same section..! It doesn't get such great light, but it would look so nice..!
