(no subject)

I went out and tidied up all last year's dead wood from the garden, and gave the Fatsia an iron tonic, and pulled up a lot of michaelmas daisy seedlings (they went a bit mad last year), and planted out sweet peas, and put down many different forms of cat-deterrent and organic slugdeath, and generally gave myself backache. It does look nice.
In flower- last of the crocuses, four sorts of daff, species tulips, wallflowers, cuckoo-flower, primroses, some sort of nasty creeping weed.

(Thin yarrow. Sow wildflowers and nasturtiums, plant out beans, chard, alyssum, mauve lobelia, perennial sweet peas aka triffid. Transplant crocuses and buddleia from pots and adventitious foxgloves from corner. Manure for raspberries. Repeat anti-cat measures.
Wish list: aubretia, small-flowered campanula, snow-in-summer, blue lobelias, crysanth (if I can find some that don't bloody rot off the instant there's rain), garlic chives, more variegated thyme? Waterlily? Longer term: Standard rose- choose when they're in flower- lilac, blackthorn, crabapple, possibly winter-flowering jasmine? Agapanthus (if they're hardy here). Small white alliums. Get spring clematis from relatives.
Large planter for front: rose, rosemary, lavender, scented narcissus? Blue crocus?)

I sort of wish it stayed warm enough here for a scented-leaf geranium to survive the winter- my landlady in London had a geranium bush in the garden. It smelt amazing.

Plot holes aside, Who was triffic, wan't it? I like that Moffatt managed to make ( spoiler )

even nastier and then get a happy ending from it! That Amy did! With her brain! (And "very old and very kind" beats the hell out of [REDACTED:grumpy description of character flaws in Tennant's Doctor].)
