Great article. I remember going to Keukenhof a couple of times and seeing various forms of muscari planted as rivers flowing through huge beds of all sorts of bulbs. Stunning.
Sunny here and fresh again. Painting then planting. Found some bags of sprouting bulbs in the garage yesterday whilst hunting out rose fertiliser. Oops! Pots and troughs for them then so they can recover and be planted out for next year.
Chicky - enjoy your day out with Chicklets. For the first time ever Possum is acknowledging UK Mum's day and asked me what I wanted - "Smiley happy girl at Easter". We'll see. She's very caught up in French Belgian student politics at the mo.
I'm ignoring the UK lot today. Have a good one everyone.

Morning all, I've avoided this place due to an overspilling of political opinion that appears to have leaked through our forum boarders to appear in our nice friendly topic threads 😉 As I have literally no assets, and never have, as wages have only ever covered the cost of living since I've been a working adult, I'm looking at the Brightside, I have nothing to lose! So I'm ignoring it all! Today I'm gardening in Felixstowe, then collecting a win on freecycle, Hope everyone has a good day!
I agree with you @WonkyWomble. Another site I post on, the political posts would be moved to the political thread. Here they could at least be in the curmudgeonly thread, spoils the general chat.
Have a lovely gardening day, even better because it’s for your gains not someone else’s, that’s a good feeling.

Morning Lyn, totally agree, we do not all speak from a an omniscient vantage and can therefore not assume to know people's motivations for casting their vote in the way each individual has done, I had one vote, everyone did, you can choose what you do with yours but not other people's! 😀 All opinions on gardening are more than welcome tho!!! 😉😀 I'm loving the self employed life so far Lyn, it's a struggle but time is worth so much more than money! I'm also meeting some lovely people with similar interests. 😊 I hope you have a lovely day x
Have a look at my Foggy Bottom link @WonkyWomble. ... maybe we could plan a family outing later in the year when the grasses are at their best ... maybe even tho Under Gardeners and IT experts would benefit from a day in the fresh air ... they could look at the steam engines etc?

Oh that would be nice Dove! 😀 Not sure I'd get him along tho, hard to dress up a garden to a towny, indoors type, not sure he's daft enough to fall for it! Entertaining them would only spoil it for us! 😉 x
Let them entertain each other! Trains are usually a good bet for big boys. If not, a girls' day out. Photos please when you go.
Been busy sorting out Possum who has to take a cake/dessert to a pot luck party where the hostess in allergic to chocolate and there may also be nut allergies and she wants it to be easy too. Lemon syrup cake then, or maybe raspberry and coconut.

Think the girls day out option is a safer bet Obelixx, I pick my battles and that one isn't worth the effort! 😉 Lemon cake every time for me please, for some reason I only like coconut in savory dishes, no idea why! Have a lovely day 😊
Although I did make a comment, I agree with you, Wonky, Chicky and Lyn. Glad you are enjoying being self employed, Wonky.
Good looking day or gardening, I better get a move on as I'm staying with daughter 1 for the weekend and rain is forecast or next week.
Bressingham is only about 10 minutes from our cottage. It's very useful when people come to visit! I love it, but I wish they sold their own plants as they used to before the expensive Wyevale took over next door. What about a Forkers visit? But only when we are there!
