Our AWESOME team of gardeners in the community haven't been able to source their usual flower selection this year due Covid 19 restrictions. However a handful of them have rescued what they could from last year's remains and filled up some of the planters in the village square. The colours are lovely and gentle....soft pale peach and lemons and white lobelia.....it's a beautiful effect and lovely to admire when in queue for the local butcher, pharmacy and other shops. They have also been busy weeding some of the roadside flowerbeds where pansies and begonias were competing with chick weed etc.
Three good things
1. Filled in a good area of sky in my jigsaw......it's 1500 pieces so quite a challenge.
2. Lovely email from a colleague. I miss them more than I could have guessed.
3. A glorious evening enjoying the garden from a seat.
Lovely shot of these beautiful flowers. How nice that such an effort has been made to brighten up the village, despite the difficulties that Covid 19 has brought.
Sounds like me.. I have 4 hanging basket on a stand and normally buy matching bedding plants for them. ... 1 has a 3 year old geranium, one a hanging pink transplanted from a pot, one a fuschia grown from a cutting (OK a bit I accidentally snapped off when weeding and put in a vase and hoped) and the other has been temporarily removed. This year more than ever flowers have brought so much joy (and daily photo ops) for us all.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It's lovely to have such commitment to the community and they are very much appreciated.
