    Just back from Allotment. Just about to come home, & I walked down to the  1/2 plot (2 across from my main one) ****dy pigeons! How could I have been so daft I thought it was slugs eating off my late row of mange tout peas. Had to stay an extra 1/2 hour to put netting up :s

    I mentioned to my daughter that I was going to the garden centre. She opined that I had quite enough plants and should buy some colourful cushions.

    @B3 in my experience the purchase of colourful cushions does not preclude the purchase of plants .., or vice versa ..  would that it did :flushed: 🙄

    Hubby came home from the fabric shop in India once and told me he'd ordered 40 cushions. I asked " you do mean 14????" but no, 40 cushions had been ordered and then had to be shipped to Devon.

    There are lots of plants that form beautiful cushions of flowers.  Perhaps that's what she meant @B3

    I would like to think so but she also mentioned her concern that i was being smothered by plants.
    There's loads of space. I can open the back door and traverse the garden and I don't even need a machete. If I cleared the plants off the table, you could even sit on the patio, drink wine and eat canapes.
    I have a horrible feeling that when she eventually buys her own house, there will be an outside space or, god forbid, a garden room😒

    The earliest sunrise of the year was this morning. From tomorrow the mornings get darker - we’re on an inexorable downward path to Christmas.

    @Picidae. I know we're curmudgeons but that was beyond the pale😟
