Summer bedding colour

I  am back as promised to share my summer bedding photos. I bought the plants at the weekend and spent Sunday potting them up. It's always hard work but I know that I will get a whole season of delight so it is well worth it.

I bought 2 trays worth including dahlia, begonia, geraniums. It was a hot day so I worked in the shade of the sun brolly after my Hb and I had enjoyed an al fresco lunch in the garden. It reached 28c!

I have dahlia, geraniums, begonia

 nemesia, 2 tomato plants (gardeners delight variety of course) and lots more.

I also have a few fuchsia that have successfully overwintered so I used those too.

I managed to pot up 2 hanging baskets, 3 big pots and 2 small ones.

 A couple of close ups. I will get so much inspiration from these glorious colours. I gave everything a really good drink of water once they were in.

My card is not a floral one but a Father's Day card as 16th June is fast approaching. It is up for sale at Dotty's Teahouse, Carshalton High Street, SM5 2EP where my cards for all occasions are sold.

The image is a sweet vintage old Nicecrane one, sadly no longer trading. I stamped the sentiment and the scrabble pieces are also a download. The dies are by Cheery Lynn.

I would like to enter it into the following challenges.

I went to RHS Wisley gardens with my dear crafting/blogging friend Brenda Brown on Monday and the colours there too were amazing. I will share some photos soon. We have finally had some welcome rain now, my poor garden was parched. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Back soon,

Bye for now,
