    No gardening to wet 
    However have been pleased that the 2 kilos of green tomatoes in the garage have ripened , only a handful went rotten

    No gardening but a pack of 6 Helleborus niger "Christmas Carol" managed to find its way into my trolley at Lidl, so planting those will be a job for the weekend. As usually when I've impulse-bought plants, I googled to check for any specifics about the variety. They're £19.99 EACH in the RHS online plant shop. £7.99 for 6 at Lidl. Probably smaller plants, but they've got buds and a few flowers on.

    No gardening unfortunately, every time the sun peeked out, the phone rang and by the time the phone call was finished, it was cloudy with rain imminent.

    @JennyJ , O/H bought these a few days ago , really good plants , have put them into bigger pots as we are going to give them  as Christmas presents 
  • No gardening yesterday or today. Very heavy rain. Got soaked walking the dog, same again today probably.
    No gardening tomorrow or the next few days. Son coming to the UK for a quick Christmas visit. Yeah!
    Everything on hold until Tuesday.

    That's a good idea. I might plant some and pot up some.

    No gardening possible today, it’s siling down and is showing no let up for the next day or so. There will be more leaves to rake up once it dries up a bit.

    @GWRS I posted a few weeks back about Wilko's offer on Tete n tete daffs.

    Hope yours do well for you.

  • I have just ordered from The Boston Bulb Company. Couldn't resist some I have wanted for a while as its 50% off selected ones, and they were the ones I wanted too.😁
