The poppies are coming on fine, the sweet williams, are coming into flower, the fushias have really taken to the hanging baskets, and the three budlias I put in last year, have reached a hieght of six feet, which is great, as they were all found as weeds, down the side of the house. Only one problem, I appear to be allergic to them.
Well worth planting though, they are also known in the UK as the butterfly bush, due to the fact they attract them, two flowers in one really, purple flowers and fluttering winged flowers all around them.

The tuburous begonias are flourishing, impatiens and climbing roses both doing really well along with three rhododendrons in beautiful full bloom.

And for tonight's meal I will be having spring lamb chops, new potatoes, green beans with a bottle of Chilian Merlot.

The studio construction is slow, but steady.

Have a lovely weekend guys.
