  • Help.some plants in my garden have gone over and are dying back early such as delphs. Phlox, lupins and especially fruit bushes ,the rasps are awful  small and bitter no doubt I can't blame the long hot dry spell. My plot is too large to water everything do I cut back these plants or leave them to die back hoping they come back next year

    It makes you wonder. Doesn't it,Hosta? I hope the trial does him some good.

    When my son needed an expensive treatment I had to go private, fortunately the private doctor fought his case for us and got the NHS to give it to him. It was almost too late, but then they panicked and treatment was good. It has to be repeated, let’s hope they will pay up again.

    Sorry about bold  -I can't shift it. 
    It's darker than usual tonight . maybe it's clouds. Maybe it'll rain. Maybe the gods have reconsidered my washing sacrifices. What if I promised to wash the car tomorrow and have a barbecue or a picnic and go out without an umbrella and with a hole in my shoe?

    V dark by me too - looks rainish. Or just glowery. They did promise rain for today but I never hold my breath these days.

    Do you think holding your breath might work :/
