I was supposed to be seed sowing today. This REALLY doesn't look like seed sowing. We made the most of the dry day and enjoyed a lovely (little muddy) long walk. Do I feel guilty. Absolutely NOT. I promise seeds will be get sown. Just can't promise it will be tomorrow.

Oh, how lovely to see colour finally arrive 🤍. Tulip 'Exotic Emperor' is always ahead. Tulip 'Queen of Night'🖤 planted amongst this arrangement is not far behind from blooming. I'll be patient. One year/day, I will have my black and white tulip theme in unison. #Tulip #colour

Cotton. As seen on @GWandShows one plant survived, grew well, produced flowers followed by cotton buds. When dried, burst open!! To my amazement, it revealed cotton. Thank you for all your kind comments and messages #COTTON #GardenersWorld
