My garden ten minutes ago

I am a bit disappointed in the weather today as we had assumed it was going to be warm. It's not freezing cold but it certainly isn't tee shirt weather and the wind is making it feel rather chilly. I did enjoy my early morning walk though. My friend and I were out just after 7 this morning and the day looked to be quite promising. I was looking forward to pottering about in the garden but have stayed indoors all day just faffing about. I have a couple of masks to make for a friend but wasn't in the mood today. I might do it tomorrow as the weather forecast isn't great.
I love looking at your gardens and wondered if you might like a sneak preview of my garden taken about ten minutes ago. The summer bedding will be a while before it starts to show any real promise but it still looks quite pretty

Surfinia Petunia, black Pansy and white Lobelia... I planted it up yesterday so it needs time to bush out

The vanilla scent from this pot of Nemesia blows my mind. 

We have colourful Iris popping up everywhere

One of two red Cordyline

    It looks fantastic, Cherie. It must give you so much pleasure.
    It's been up and down here as well. When the sun is out, it's OK but then it goes in and it's just a bit too cold to sit out comfortably.
    Tomorrow looks like being loads better here, thankfully.

    So nice to see what is blooming for you so far, as ours is going to sleep, though my dutch iris leaves are already appearing, as are the freesias. You've given me an idea for one of my pots & if we can ever go to a nursery again (or if I am brave enough when the time comes), I'll find some nemesia. Cold here this morning, but as it is clear, should be another sunny autumn day. Take care, stay safe & huggles.

      The vanilla scented nemesia never seems to die. It looks a bit spindly during the winter but still has a few flowers. At this time of year it bushes out nicely and the fragrance is gorgeous

    Snow here is usually pretty for about ten minutes and then its just cold wet and horrible.

    It looks beautiful. Cool and raining here so no outside jobs will get done today.
