He's done a very neat job grindle & yes it's created some gaps to fill! I potted some pelargoniums up on the patio in the morning & took some more plants out of the greenhouse but then had to give up as it was unbearably hot. Went out again at about 7 in the evening when it was starting to cool down ( well going from scorching to boiling!) & did a couple of hours digging out a patch of straggly pale pink geranium which was in the wrong place & planting out some cosmos, zinnias, calendulas & borage (all grown from seed) in it's place & similar in the border opposite it where I disturbed a little very dark green frog who leapt out of the undergrowth onto my foot! Watered everything & fed the wildlife, still 2 or 3 hedgehogs visiting every night & we could hear them 'huffing' to each other again around 11pm.

thanks everyone, pleased it looks much tidier, just the wood and trellis to replace on the rh side, but that will have to wait, it's not too bad and is holding its own, spent the day tidying up and putting the soil back round the steps, all ready for planting now Reseeded some of the bare patches in the first half of the garden, now it's nicely rained in

It's been too cold and miserable to be outside for a few days so I haven't done anything in the garden at all

straightened out the small bed by the path and planted a few annuals until I can decide what permanent plants to put in

Planted out 4 little alpine plants I got at the weekend in the sink & step ladder display where there were a few gaps. I finally received the 2 grow bags I'd ordered from Thompson & Morgan 3 months ago - I'd had a reply to my email a few weeks ago saying the order had been picked so they couldn't cancel it but it would be delivered that week & I could refuse it & ask for a refund if I wanted, it didn't arrive & they changed it to larger Tomorite bags as their own brand had run out & they arrived yesterday with 2 bags of Inredicrop feed & a £5 voucher as an apology. I'd already planted up some of my tomatoes in large pots so I took these & the shelves which had all my small pots on out of the greenhouse & cleaned all the glass inside (well on the side I was going to use! ) & then put the grow bags in with the collars/bottomless pots on them & planted them up.

I think my greenhouse tomatoes have blight thankfully I sowed many blight resistant varieties this year though one seems affected. I picked all the bad leaves of yesterday now i have to consider destroying them all just as they are producing good sized green tomatoes The potatoes in the garden show no signs at all of the blight but even if they do now they will be ok for picking I planted up a large section of my front garden with annuals and some lupins and canterbury bells for next year. All the wallflower seedlings I sowed in feb flowered and shot to seed in the heat of the greenhouse, I cut of the heads and planted them anyway and I`ll be sowing more today.
