3:15 project, update 13

Last week's photos, having failed to catch up... I'll try and put today's photos up today, too...

No real change to photo 1, and Bannolds' van was parked up outside last weekend...

Not much to picture 2, either, but the hanging baskets are growing in nicely;
The main job for the weekend was clearing away the large quantity of greenery I'd chopped down the previous week; after a wonderful day on Saturday, Sunday was pretty miserable - it rained solidly until about 2pm; but by about 4pm I'd managed to clear it...
The rain did mean I didn't need to water things this weekend...

The Alpine strawberries are in fruit...

The geraniums (OK, pelargoniums) are starting to flower. I'm mildly obsessive about getting red ones - which seem to be in short supply in recent years. There's something not-quite-right about any other colour...

And some of the plants from the Feast which need planting out - in the pink pot, a Fuchsia, behind that a phlox; then there's a pink perennial geranium (they're allowed to be other colours), a dahlia, some blue morning glories, a couple of crystanthemums, a perennial sweet pea, and a couple of bedding plants which looked pretty on the label; but I can't remember what they are...
