I'm looking into the possibility of growing one in a pot but not just yet.<br /><br />M did everything on the list except positioning the wires for the roses - that needs a dry day! The plants are loving the rain!<br /><br />Thanks Bless. I enjoyed a productive afternoon, cooking up 3 batches and portioning them for the freezer, and have spent the evening searching for suitable plants for the next stage of the planting. <br /><br />I hope you have a lovely, and especially pain free, weekend too.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-10474863574978249962021-06-18T22:00:07.337+01:002021-06-18T22:00:07.337+01:00Those peonies look lovely!

Not sure quite how big that area is, but, from the photos you've posted, it looks like there might be some room? <br /><br />I hope you were able to get some gardening done in the rain; although, with all that rain you've been having, I'm sure the plants are doing well!<br /><br />Hope the rest of your day goes well, Eileen, and you have a lovely weekend to look forward to. :) Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-26965787507632430382021-06-18T16:11:04.912+01:002021-06-18T16:11:04.912+01:00There's also lemon thyme to try, and some don&...There's also lemon thyme to try, and some don't like lavender so I'd be happy to get some more of that!Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-20508605080452672272021-06-18T16:01:53.686+01:002021-06-18T16:01:53.686+01:00Oh I like the idea of lemon balm - I have some gro...Oh I like the idea of lemon balm - I have some growing behind in the farmers field, an escapee from a neighbour's herb garden - great idea!!!Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-81056605197587127232021-06-18T15:46:29.750+01:002021-06-18T15:46:29.750+01:00I do a lot of bulk cooking as it saves me money an...I do a lot of bulk cooking as it saves me money and is easier when only cooking for one. Today's effort are cooling ready to be portioned up later this afternoon.<br /><br />It's rained hard all day so far so it was a very wet garden session. We have planned for the next stage though, so I have more things to buy! 😀Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-44379834657940960592021-06-18T15:42:26.155+01:002021-06-18T15:42:26.155+01:00Don't worry, I have no intention of using anyt...Don't worry, I have no intention of using anything that will harm a cat. Some don't like citrus scents so I will get some lemon balm or similar and see if that discourages them as my first plan of attack!<br />Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-21846401506919098922021-06-18T11:16:22.263+01:002021-06-18T11:16:22.263+01:00Those peonies are gorgeous, I love them.
It's...Those peonies are gorgeous, I love them.<br /><br />It's a very good idea to cook some meals when you have time and keep them in the freezer. It saves a lot of time and you don't have to worry about every day meals for the family. We often cook at the weekend and just take out something during the week.<br /><br />Enjoy the time in the garden with M! irunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395150667627240002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-53816623169188929992021-06-18T10:44:36.427+01:002021-06-18T10:44:36.427+01:00Your peony bouquet is lovely. I often think about ...Your peony bouquet is lovely. I often think about cutting a few from the garden to bring in but my indoor cats would tear apart. While I am a cat lover, roaming cats annoy me, a lot. If you look for remedies please please do not put out cayenne pepper, as many people suggest, if they get into their eyes they will rub their eyes raw to get out as it burns ever so painfully, plus if any other creature gets it on them they do the same. I usually just chase the cats away or if the hose is out I spray them. My wise old sage lady puts out rages soaked in ammonia & she says it works for all creatures. A frig/freezer clear out sounds like something I need to do this weekend!Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-74480252635382475172021-06-18T10:04:15.227+01:002021-06-18T10:04:15.227+01:00I'm not really a football fan.

I used to watch matches when my partner was alive but don't enjoy it on my own. <br /><br />The cats are becoming a problem so I'm looking at what I can plant to discourage them. I'd love to encourage birds into the garden but it's just not safe while the cats are around.<br /><br />It's pouring with rain here so only the essentials will be done in the garden today, but I will have more time in the kitchen as a result so I'm not complaining! Hope you have a good day.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-69504638637948022292021-06-18T07:58:11.331+01:002021-06-18T07:58:11.331+01:00Will you be watching the England vs Scotland match...Will you be watching the England vs Scotland match this evening? I'm not normally a fan of football matches but I watched Wales win and was thrilled when they scored their two goals. Neighbourhood cats are a menace in our gardens aren't they. I'm glad you treated yourself, your peonies are lovely. You have a busy day ahead and it sounds a good one.Eileen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755260410513572943noreply@blogger.com
