We've had some really sunny days recently and it's causing everything to flower or speed up which is lovely. As you can see I have some serious de-cluttering to do, we're meant to be getting a skip once we have some spare cash.
It was so hot that I filled this bowl with water for the dogs and cat. I filled a similar one for the chickens too. 
This is the most weedy and in new of attention part of the garden. I'll aim to get around to it at some point soon. 
I planted some broad bean seedlings out here under and around the lilac and red current bush.
And I did some weeding too.
The broad beans look sad as they had been transplanted only thirty minutes before. The two lacecap hydrangeas (good in shade) that I planted are either side of the lilac and should hopefully create a bee haven and background of green and blue. 
The lilac is finally flowering for the first time in four years or more. :D
This is the full price hydrangea that I bought, I am pretty smitten with it. 
This is the reduced hydrangea that I rescued. Hopefully they both do well. 
I have two oriental poppies growing very nicely in the border. They should bring in some lovely bees. 
As you can see (yes clutter) I have enlarged the compost to double the size it was last year. This will allow me to turn it over more easily.
