Same up here. I guess that it has been the awful weather that has held things back.
I did see a cock Sparrow displaying to a hen, yesterday.

It's very sparse at present. I have not planted any bedding yet, due to the miserable weather. Lots of cold, northerly winds, for weeks, although forecast to improve from Wednesday.

This is what a couple of weeks of cold wind can do.
In contrast, a wee bit of shelter from that wind.
The weather has started to improved, so we bought some bedding yesterday.
The prices are high up here. What you see in that picture, plus two 5 lt. bags of compost, cost £145. We would usually buy twice that amount, and could fill the garden for a little over £100.

My back certainly thought so, Lyn.
It took a couple of hours. Hopefully, the weather gods will be kind, and the effort will be worthwhile.

The project for today was to sand down our wee garden table, and oil it.
Five minutes in, and going well, I thought that the sanding would be done in an hour. Then, "BANG", and my sander stops working.
A wee delve into the innards, and the capacitor has decided to self destruct.
Such is life.

I always think of those beasties when people talk about UFOs and aliens, no need to go any further than earth to see what aliens might look like.

Chrysops relictus, a horse-fly, has beautiful iridescent eyes, but looks can be deceiving. These flies are blood suckers and are very determined. They have a very painful bite. Only the females suck blood but they will be the ones you'll notice. The males feed on nectar and pollen.

Isn`t nature wonderful. Nice pictures as usual Steve.My dry Lacecap from 18th. May.
Looks to be doing ok, considering I thought that it was lost.
Not the best of shape to it, but that can be sorted when it gets pruned.
Lots of rain yesterday, and overnight, so no watering needed this morning.
