stitching in the garden

The fun of the warm weather these last few days
is sitting in a bit of shade in the garden
...
and stitching.

A piece that was in my hands quite some time ago
nears completion now.

Stitching. but also
working in the garden from time to time
...

I took out all of the Allium roseum stems
I have enough of them
and don't want MORE little bulbs to fall of the old flower heads !


But I saved the bulbs that came out while pulling the stems

I'll send them on to friends !
(with a secure warning about the behavior of Allium roseum :
they spread like mad   ;-)  !)

But the Alliums have been followed up already

by lots of others

by small ones or tall ones !

all kinds of shapes !

old and new goes together quite well !

a new Drumstick Allium in a week, 
new bluebells in years to come !

small and even tiny
(but I don't want these micro moss "palm trees")


A garden is such a joy !!!
