Lightbulb moment
I've been hardening off the hollyhocks and sweetpeas (yes, they're hardy, but they've been in the conservatory all winter), and trying to decide what to do with them while we're away: there's no cold weather on the forecast, but of course that might change, and then the sitter will have to move them in and out of the conservatory. But if there is no cold weather then they can probably just go in the ground and have done, but then she has to water them.... Ah, though: it's going to be a fairly wet weekend!
That's them planted out, then. Mike vetoed my plans to put hollyhocks anywhere near the windows, so they're along the fence by the road, where the leylandii used to be.
The sweetpeas had less dense roots that I was expecting, so fingers are a bit crossed for them. I'd better start a new batch just in case / for later in the year, especially as it turns out that my new sweetpea frame came with two packs of seed!
We took the fence down in the field, this evening, so the boys should be happy tomorrow. GB, of course, was quite happy this evening, although a bit steadier on his feet than yesterday! Our water was switched over to the new pipe today, so hopefully they are nearly done. If we're lucky, they'll finish tomorrow, which means that things will all be unchanged when the sitter brings them in on Friday.
