Today I spent the morning out in the garden tidying up the honeysuckle which sends out any number of long suckers at this time of the year. The weather was beautiful, not too hot and not too cold and at times, I had an audience of birds who I am convinced were keeping an eye on me just to make sure I left some honeysuckle for them to hide in.
The wallflowers are almost over but I have decided to leave them in until next week because the weather forecast for this weekend is supposed to be HOT and Eden will be here for the weekend. When she was down a fortnight ago, we bought a little barbecue and some charcoal so I think we will put this together on Saturday and when her Mum comes to pick her up on Sunday, we will be able to use it for the first time and the remaining wallflowers will provide some colour.
My garden is tiny, about 20 feet by 15 feet, but there is enough room on the patio for a tiny wooden table and two chairs and the tiny barbecue will just fit too.
The sunflowers are about an inch high and Squidge only stopped two from growing so he won't be put on the barbecue, a lot of people have started to eat grey squirrels but I'll stick to pork, lamb and beef!
We'll make the most of the weather this weekend because we don't know if or when the next warm, dry spell will come along.
