That's the theory, but as you know, hope springs eternal along with the rain and gale force winds so although my head says 'forget it', my heart still says 'maybe if I...'
So I still have two raised veg beds, although one is rampant with triffid raspberries and one very brave rhubarb! The other has self seeded garlic at one end with gone-to-seed-cabbage-that-never-grew and some fabulous specimens of dock leaves at the other.
BTW, the idyll is over, with Youngest and the Hub back home. The Hub didn't seem too happy with his week's work in Holland, but Youngest had an 'amazingly awesome' (quote herself) week with her sister in Dublin. A lot of time was spent working in Theaters alongside Eldest but she also got to do some shopping and walking around Dublin, which is good. It is a lovely place alright.
I didn't get a girl's night in, but my parents had visitors, relations who are great fun, so I had that instead last night. This evening Youngest is taking Middlest's boyfriend to see the play Middlest is working on and the Hub is holed up in the office writing tomorrow's sermon.
Modom, your taxi awaits!!!

Oh dear, it does look as if the weather and the landscape is winning doesn't it? I can't think of any suggestions for your garden I'm afraid, though I'm sure there are plenty of gardeners out there who will suggest something.
I'm impressed you can *name* so many plants let alone grow them - I put them into categories of flowers (cut, from petrol station, plonked in vase) grass, other stuff and dead! I can identify the two huge grapevines in the garden, but I think that's my lot!
I quote the comic "Real Life Adventures": "What is the difference between annuals and perennials? Annuals die every year and perennials die as soon as we get them home." See! Yours are still alive, so you're ahead of the game.
