Thank you all for the kind comments. I am desperately trying to water pots as we have had sunny days and wind. I am still carting around barrowloads of fill. A kind neighbour who got much more than me offered to move mine with his bobcat, but I am doing layers of bigger rocks, clay, then compost, then black sandy stuff.
I have enjoyed looking at the lovelies on the rebloom thread while waiting impatiently for something to bloom. Other things like snapdragons, larkspurs and petunias are all flowering nicely. And now my Louisiana iris are established, they have been coming out. Great to have floewrs before it is too hot.
The yellows say to me "It's great to be alive today". Poor bees trying to make some honey Glen. How can they resist. Have to head off the moths on the nocturnals. You can buy various sized organza bags from most craft, cheap/discount shops. They are used lots for potpourri/lavender as well as celebration gifts. You might find a cheaper source in time.
