I was delighted when hubs Valentine’s Day present finally arrived. I chose these plants to compliment a wildflower border in the front garden that I’d grown from seed a couple of years ago.

I’ve had something of a breakthrough this week. Let me explain….. Ever since I’ve had the dogs, which is over three years [how time flies!] hubs and I haven’t been able to go abroad. This is entirely my fault as I just don’t like the idea of leaving the dogs in kennels. It would ruin …
