primula 'pettycoats'
the greenhouse was so hot today I shaded it out with this blue tarp. I need to buy shading to paint on, but even with that last summer I used the tarp occasionally.
This is a funny wee tulip about 6 inches high. I have lost track of what I have planted in the garden now, there is a 'map' being carefully drawn onto graph paper as my 'minds eye' is no longer capable of retaining all that information!!

Hi, good to have a greenhouse, Claire! And hot too! Here it is brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cold, and today we have had a little snow.

An actual map?! I admire your discipline -- You mean that once something is planted outside it stays where it is?! If only that were the case here -- how much simplier that would be!
Oh! BTW, yesterday we had a rainstorm & hubby went out kayaking and came back very cold and wet (no photos)... I still have yet to go. But one of us did, so at least that's a start!
I'm just curious as to what hot means to you being that far north. It was 97 degrees here a week ago. That was a little warm to be comfortable, not what I consider hot. So, how hot was it?
Dragonfly, highest recorded temperature in Glasgow on Saturday was 16.1ºC/61ºF, it might not have been that hot here as we had a north breeze, I was out in the garden in a t-shirt and found it quite warm but the greenhouse temperature was just climbing too high and I don't have any vents. it was hot for us, don't think you'd find it hot here, being used to your high temperatures! do you have high humidity too?
Wildside, I really only meant a map for the veggy side of things, although I must start a flowerbed one as sometimes perrenial things are getting disturbed/lost/ planted on top of(one particular one I discovered today are some daffodills on top of my precious Sanguinaria canadensis 'Flore Pleno'/common name here is bloodroot and it's a cutting from May's garden) and colours are clashing.
Connie, see if I had a map these bulb plantings wouldn't be a surprise! this is a pretty nice one though.
Sigrun, I love the greenhouse, but like the shed it will never be big enough.
