June in the garden

The potatoes are coming along nicely. On the right is the second set of first earlies which we succession planted into the ground. On the left is the main crop potatoes. You can also see the canes and the netting and the CD's that we're trying to scare away the pigeons, but to no avail.

Also, out lavender plug plants arrived on Thursday and we've potted them up. I've not included the picture of the mixed box that we got. I was amazed by the packaging and that the plants actually look reasonably healthy. From the mixed box quiet a lot have died but there were so many it didn't matter so much. For £5.95 for 30 plants from Thompson & Morgan I don't think you can complain, especially as the RRP for these is £34.95 + £5.65 P&P . These particular ones came with a little of free snips and were the gardeners world offer which you can see here if you're interested.  But be quick because the offers don't last forever.


Also looking pretty good at the moment is the clematis and the climbing rose.
