Always do, Diane. It is so interesting to see what is at the same stage as up here in Aberdeen and what is behind... or sometimes ahead..... ??? ::)

Your garden is looking very well just now. we need more rain. Though we have had some fairly steady fall today, there are quite a few plants which could do with rather more rain to really pep them up properly.

and, as Maggi said elsewhere, Corydalis 'Craigton Blue' looks much a much better plant in the garden than in a pot at Wisley.  Great posting again Diane, thanks.

Diane, I just love your diaries which are so full of information and real love of the plants you show; growing so happily in different areas of your garden - you have such a range of wonderful things it's hard to imagine how you fit them all in!  As for your seed production, it's quite amazing and fascinating to see the different stages of growth under the conditions you mention.  Altogether a wonderful treat to be taken 'round' by you, thanks so much  :)

Diane
your Blog is very interesting. Somehow I missed several notices of you that a new Blog was out, no wonder in this
enormous forum with so many interesting entries. Today I found it  again and catched up reading.
I like it very much. Thank you!

Thanks to everyone for comments, both public and private.  At least I know someone's reading it. 
And it makes me realise what an enormous job Ian does to keep writing on a weekly basis.  Just sorting the pictures out and resizing seems to take me ages.

 You have lots in common with the BD, Diane, although YOU do sow more seed than he does!  ;D
