Got a little bit done in the Garden today, Lavender plants have been re-homed ready for my buzzing friends arriving.
I have had to force myself to get out in the garden today as i am full of cold, sore throat and bad cough, I needed to give myself a kick to get some of my Lavender plants potted up outside ready for the warmer months.
I have bought;
2 Lavender Papillon (French)
2 Lavender Rosea
3 Lavender (English).
I have planted one of each into a pot that will sit on my wooden chair alongside my Bee & Butterfly corner. I have also added 1 Lavender Papillon and 1 Rosea to my pot that stands under the Bee & Butterfly houses, this will give the Bee's a lot of selection when they come to visit.
The Middle Lavender above was planted early on in the season, a plant i was bought last year, it seemed to have died off but have seen a few green stalks, i will wait and see if it comes back if not I will plant a new one to fill this pot up.
One or 2 of the Bee's just might move into there own little houses that i have nailed to the fence above. Would be lovely to have my very own lodgers.
I have taken photographs of the plants and added them to my gardening journal. I have added the date planted, and how to care for them. This will help me in years to come , i will be able to pick what works for me and my garden then only plant what flourishes.
I am only able to do little bits in the garden as the weather is still cool plus hubby has gone and hurt his back so all the heavy lifting will have to wait.
I would like to fill my Vegetable bags tomorrow then plant a few Carrots and Beetroots out, this will give me a lot more room indoors to start a few more off.
Thank you @son-of-satire
You should end up with a buzzy hotel there as soon as the flowers break out.
I hope so :)

I welcome all friends :)
This is amazing! I hope you get lots of lodgers in your bug hotel!
Thank you, I do too :)
Sometimes you do have to push yourself to get stuck in, but the reality is that once you do... it is so enormously rewarding!!! It is Autumn where we are and I do need to get a little bit hands on in my own garden before Winter strikes. So thanks for the inspiring reminder :)
Oh, and seeing as you enjoy gardening... perhaps you would enjoy my moms blog... @lizziesworld (and vice versa mom haha)
Enjoy whats left of your weekend :)
Thank you, I will def pop over and check your mom out :)
You will have some happy bees for sure! Hope you and hubby heal quickly.
