No RHS membership benefits apply at Kew , but the Gardener's World Magazine 2 for 1 is valid for the whole of Kew..
BP up Hardly to be wondered at given the horrendous tailbacks along the A11 due to an accident further back ... also having spent most of the year unable to play tennis because of my shoulder, and then totally inactive due to my broken foot and gammy knee ... they're going to put me on the 24 hour BP monitor again 'cos that always gives better results for me. They'll phone when it's my turn ... in the meantime hopefully my knee will let me play tennis today .........
Now for a and some muesli .......
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The RHS card used to get a discount at Kew but perhaps like Capel Manor as they get no money from RHS they have stopped it. Sorry if I have caused confusion.
Have a lovely birthday and a happy day with your family tomorrow, Lily P.
I've been trying to co-ordinate a couple of Anglican Carol Services we are having in Dordogne in December. Readings, decorations, organist, service booklets (going to the printers tomorrow), refreshments etc.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Chicky, my old brain is half asleep, but I think it’s Illawarra Flame Tree (Brachychiton acerifolius). The leaves look wrong though. Maybe overnight the brain might sort it out.
Nanny B - RHS membership gets you a monthly magazine with interesting, informative articles; free access to RHS gardens; free access to partner gardens; members only days at the big shows; free access to advice from experts: seeds from the big gardens; special seasonal events and shows at the main gardens and in London. What is not to like?
That's a lovely tree Chicky. The leaves look like our silk tree but not the flowers.
Hosta - keep taking the magnesium, even on hols. In France they're sold in packs as a 3 month "cure".
I hope Wonky's feeling better today and Pdoc and OH are also relaxing together.
Chappy has been back to smooth out the mound along the back of our paddock. I shall try and plant it with some baby mimosas spawned by our tree over on the other boundary and some shrubs I can coppice for colourful bark and flowers for wildlife. They may have to be desert plants!
That hole looks even bigger this morning. Yikes! You can just see chappy in the far right on the mound.
Frosty start again but warming up now. Tree and shrub seed sowing this pm - after I've been out to buy some labels!
Hope you're all getting some sun today. The new car will be fun once you've broken it in Pat.

I'm very envious of your 'hole' Obelixx ... it's nearly as bit as our garden
I'm back from tennis ... knee a bit wobbly but ok ... I played two five game 'matches' and acquitted myself reasonably. well so not bad after such a long lay off ... I think I've only played once since I broke my foot

I gave up my RHS membership, when I took it out, I thought it would get me into the likes of Chelsea for free, discount was nominal, so it went
Chicky - I knew I wouldn’t rest until I found it. Try Poinciana. Delonix regia - not native - from Madagascar
