Mother's just planted petunias.........

Well.

I'm not best pleased I'll have you know.

I was all poised to post pictures of my beautiful garden, interspersed with banter and witty repartee.... only to find that the majority of photographs I took today are out of flippin' focus and, quite frankly bloomin' rubbish.

How rude.

You'll have to make do with a gratuitous photograph of a plumptious petunia.  'Midnight Cowboy' is its slightly camp moniker, and it is as dark and as soft as black velvet.   I do love dark blooms.  Hopefully this will fill out now and last for most of the summer.



I shall attempt more gardening updates tomorrow - that is if I don't drop kick the camera over the fence and into the field.

Hope your weekend was a good one!
