The patio plants were looking a bit dull because the Lilies have gone over, the Heliotropes are taking an age to come into full flower and the French Lavenders have not grown anywhere near as big as I'd expected, so I decided to have a reorganisation. So I moved the pots of Lilies and Lavender, put the Skimmias in their place, put Hyssop, a purple Chilli and Basil in front of them, then the Heliotropes and finally a window box of blue Laurentia in the front. Flanked by the box balls and blue Fescue it all looks a lot more cheerful now.
I've had a good harvest of three Cucumbers, about a dozen Tomatoes, and lots of Raspberries and Physallis in the last few days. But on the down side the Courgette didn't survive the snail attack and the Beetroot are still at a stand still.
The trailing Rosemary cuttings have rooted well so I potted them up into individual pots today. The Parsley and Chive seedlings are almost ready to prick out as are the Wallflower seedlings and they were only sown a week ago! The young Pansies in modules are starting to flower - all yellow this time so far - and the Polemoniums and Ox-eye Daises are looking nice and sturdy. Oh and I cut the grass at long last.

That looks really good, especially the laurentia!
Sorry to hear that your courgette suffered the same fate as mine!
A friend puts grass cutting on a par with ironing namely avoid if you possibly can! xx
Thanks Flighty. Laurentia is a star annual as far as I'm concerned, very free flowering for months and loved by beneficial insects. As for ironing, what's that? ;)
