Blooming

The seeds ("Fun to Grow Multi-Pot: Grow a Rainbow" set and RSPB Wildlife Attracting Seeds from Suttons Seeds) we had planted what seems like ages ago are now turning into delicate, colourful flowers.



Our new lavender plants are not thriving (yet), but then they were washed down with rain for almost 4 days after their arrival. Not what they are "used to" in the Provence...

The little eucalyptus tree we planted last week adds a lovely fragrance to its corner of the garden.

DS2 seems to have given up his habit of tearing out leaves randomly, presumably inspired by my weeding activities. He concentrates on the chives and parsley, which he nibbles happily while playing in the garden. He loves to spend some time in the garden before going to bed to check whether the ants have gone to sleep yet.

DS1 is very protective of the plants that are growing in the garden, and admiring every new petal...
