Moved the very last bit of topsoil. Mulched the raspberries ( they are coming up a treat) Emptied three tubs of used compost around the garden. Checked the greenhouse, the over wintering fuchsia and clematis are doing better after a really cold spell which won't finish for another week. Then off to GC for a greenhouse thermometer, while there picked up two bags of on offer bird feed. Then took hubby for lunch as thankyou for all his hard work on the veg beds.
Been in garden today loads of clearing up in walkin greenhouse emptied out some bits of compost in garden and lots of rubbish, lots of bugs about even a large bee that decided to fly around while I was in there for a long time, table all ready now for seed sowing to start - loads to do - trip to tip needed
Sorry you're feeling under the weather Dee. I've been catching up after being away for a few days. Potted up lots of treasures bought on my travels. Going to creating a little table full of pots so that I can see them from the kitchen window. Lawns mowed and edged and I sanded/painted the table ready for the pots. Hubby had looked after all the seedlings admirably while I was away, so all I had to do was top up the water trays. On nanna duty tomorrow so no gardening for me.
I planted my new David Austin rambling Rosie today, as it arrived in the post this morning. Well wrapped but I am a little concerned for it. We also tried to find the hole in our stream liner - like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Don't know if this would help @Guernsey Donkey2 but have you tried putting some food dye into the water to see where it flows and possibly find the hole that way. It may colour the water for a bit but wouldn't hurt any plants/wildlife , but might help to find the problem. 🙂
Morning all, feeling a bit better today and just wanted to say thank you to the love people on here how sent me get well messages. Again no gardening today as back off to bed. No idea what is wrong most likely a bug of some kind I wont be back one here again until what ever this is has gone. Thanks again.
Nice job @purplerallim ! Pricked out 70 marigold plug plants, also potted on 2 clematis and 2 fuschias. Checked over and watered everything in the coldframes. Still have clematis to feed and Michaelmas daisies to plant, but lunch first!

Nothing much today had open house so friends and family in and out all day nothing special just a catch up and a good natter.
One thing to report parsnip seeds in old toilet rolls have just started to appear 😄
