The Day of the Irises

A perfect day for planting.
There has been some rain. The ground is damp.
 Four trays of plants gone in today.
More annual sweetpeas, everlasting sweetpeas, lady`s mantle, perenniel geraniums, sunflowers, nasturtiums, morning glories, leeks, pumpkins, squashes and courgettes. Phew!












There were three varieties of irises out.
 Flag irises.
 Iris sibirica
Tuberous iris
 
Steve has been hollowing out the willow logs still further and now Anne and Tim have got the new fairy "cave" in situ.
A lot of work and imagination to go just yet.
Aquilegias are looking good.
One of the guinea pigs enjoying the new tunnel.
And here are the chickens scratching around in their favourite spot.
One even laid an egg between the tin baths. 
Nearly everyone in the family has a piece of my Mum`s lilac, which she loved so much.
This year it has flowered so well.
At home the wisteria over the shed is in full bloom. 
 
We`re all getting excited about the 
story telling weekend coming up soon.
