  • Who knew that orchids go on holiday to "Bath" LOL! something has bitten my stomach, no idea what. My Grandson was also covered in bites a few days ago my daughter was worried it was chicken pox, and her needing to go to work, but they werent itchy and disappeared the following day weird! I am impressed BL that you counted all 336 plugs well done!   My cold frame is on slabs, so not many weeds sneaking thru.

    NB - they get a trim and a new feed stick and then a good rinse and a bit of  soak an then drained.  They then get a shower every couple of days to rinse off any remaining dust and make sure their roots are hydrated but not soggy.   I do this a couple of times a year and it seems to work a they then produce new flower stems.   I don't like orchids much but people will insist on giving them so I try to look after them.

    Feeling weary here too now.   Went to La Roche-sur-Yon this pm to buy wading and lining fabric for the new chair seats and a Karcher window cleaner thingy and some wood filler stuff and a few groceries.  Managed to hit the school run and the TGIF run and all the people doing weekend shops.

    DL - I've been wearing a bracelet thingy you put a drop of anti-bite stuff one each day and it isn't working against these beasties.

    hope your oh has had a good rest

    His other one flew into a tree and got a bit smashed. It’s being considered for repair, but he was too impatient so bought himself amother one.
