Thank you purplerain for the lovely birthday greetings love. also everyone who has pmd me sending the same best wishes.I will try and look out for yours on here!
@Fran IOM, good luck with your Cosmos seedlings. I usually find them easy to grow, but this little lot are so exuberant, up and about in two days that I have to watch for damping off. It's like being a teacher with Primary one 😀.
Yes, the goldfish. My son had two originally, the other one was called Chips, but died many years ago and now I am extraordinary fond of Fish. He is in a big tank and doesn't seem to mind being on his own. We have a chat most days lol.
@nultyphilip224. I missed the recent video, but found it last night. Very relaxing. Looking forward to seeing your garden progress. The weather here is very changeable, but I see it as Spring blowing Winter out. Spring will win in the end.
MESSAGE FROM OUR FRIEND PHILIP. He is having difficulty getting on to his thread and has asked me to let you know that............. he has not deserted us all ! AND he will be back with us ASAP.
I don't think it is his eye problem s as I too have had a few blips of late........not my health either I'm sure we shall see him soon. Come back Philip all is forgiven
@granma Thanks for letting us know. I was a bit concerned about his absence thinking he may have been having trouble with his eyes. There seem to have been a few posters today having trouble getting on to the forum. I am sure he will be back with us soon.
Ditto from me, l was worried too in view of the problems Philip has been having. Someone said on another thread that there was a glitch today where some people just couldn't get on at all, but others were unaffected. Very strange !
I've been absent too I'm afraid,just a few days with painful hip,but yesterday went and had a guided steroid/cortisone injection,and touch wood,it's feeling much better thismorning. I have the dreaded Colonoscopy on Sun am! Because my lovely Dad died of bowel cancer,i have to go through this procedure every three years!!😕
Beautiful video @nultyphilip224 I think your area is lovely,there must be so much to paint? Thismorning I planted a few seeds........Gazania,Cosmos and mixed coloured Marigolds,some on kitchen window sill,some in tiny GH! I scattered cornflower,and corn cockles,but this time I've put down a very few pellets to stop the pesky slugs! I never saw the cornflowers last year! My expensive Clems just disappeared after flowering,and I thought they had died,however they are now showing healthy growth,so they never actually got pruned. I find the Montana type flower a lot longer.
Yes @FranIOM I will put the cat on when I've done it,all the cards sold on Sunday,but still time to do a few more. My legs may have been idle,but not my hands,when I'm not painting,I'm knitting!
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
Hi Folks,..whew i will never catch up on everything you all have posted,..first thank you to @granma for informing you that all was well with me,..that i just could not Log In to the Forum,..these things happen in all Websites from time to time and as we all know how gremlins get into the works of our own computers and laptops and prevent them from operating in some way,..i could sign in to the main Gardenersworld page and get in to my profile but when i went over to the Forum,..the notification was,..'Invalid Signature',..thankfully i could send a message to the Gardenersworld Site Crew and thanks to 'Angelica',..the problem was sorted out.
We have had torrents of rain here,..then snow,..the latter melted away as soon as it landed,..then the storm arrived,..a strong scary storm which send plants and shrubs in the garden into a whirl,..one would think that a helicopter was hoovering very low over the garden,..thankfully no real damage apart from a fence blown down and flowerpots knocked over,..finally a power cut,..so no TV or Computer,..just a battery operated radio,..out came the emergency appliances Gas Cooker/Gas Light/ plus i have a wood burner fire so no real problem.
For those of you who found my 'Nature Video' and commented,..thank you for doing so and liking it,..for those who have not found it,..its on page 71 of this Thread lol.
Apologies to @mamhiepee for the late reply,..welcome to the Forum and i was pleased you liked what you came across in this Thread.
I did wish @granma a Happy Birthday by way of a private message before my absence,..i am glad to read @granma celebrated ,..when i get the specs i will hopefully show them off lol.
@AnniD sorry you didn't manage to get the fertiliser in Aldi,..lol at you keeping the sad face,..despite finding lots of liquid fertiliser in your garage.
@Purplerain its amazing how your Son's Goldfish has survived for the past 18 years,..well done,..you are certainly doing the right things for 'Fishy',..most people overfeed or keep them in small Bowl's so they don't survive very long.
@Fran IOM all the scenes in that 'Nature' video are within a 5 min walk from the house,..that is going downriver,..about the same time going upriver its the same scenic area,..likewise towards the West,..its only if i go east i meet build up areas,..we have a nature walk North South and West with lots of wildlife to be seen,..an ideal place for Foxy Molly.
@Valley Gardener well done getting your VHS videos converted into DVD format,..i still have a VHS player for copying films on TV when i know i will not be at home to see them,..oh i bet the price of the Aloe Vera plant was a painful price,..do all of the Aloe Vera plants work on easing burns?,..you are going to be busy with painting Morwena and someone's little piggy.
@Liriodendron,..ah yes Foxy Molly was included in the 'Nature' video,..any of that type of video always makes me include the dog i have at that time,..Foxy Molly is the third dog,..Hudson for 18 years,..Molly The Springer 13 years and now Foxy Molly.
I hope i haven't left anyone out who posted prior to the 10th of March and i know i still have to view more of your posts.
What do you think those big cages are for??,..hardly for us!
