I'm leaving my cannas in the ground this year. Combination of them being too big to lift, too big to store and a bit of optimism that they'l survive and a bit of laziness.
Good morning @Hostafan1@Lyn@punkdoc hope you are all keeping well. Sorry if I have upset you lately as it seems someone has reported me to management 🐀 you should have come to me direct instead of crying to the higher order. I'm always open to any criticism you want to say to me. My door is open now but please don't be nasty or get the gang mentality which normally happens
Yes, but you're in relatively clemnt Devon, not parky Sheffield/Yorkshire with cold northerly and easterly winds straight off the north Sea.
Sounds like a lot of faff to me @punkdoc, especially with Moira not there to help. Maybe sell/give them to good homes and try something less demanding of hard labour?

@Hostafan1. Those canna you overwintered for me, I left them out tucked up tight to the wall but they died. I wouldn’t chance it again although you may be a bit more protected than in my garden.

My hedychiums are getting the heave this year. Almost 7 ft tall and not a single flower on any of them. They've had their chance and have given nothing back, so out they're coming.

I've got spares in the tunnel, so if my gamble fails, I've got back up.
If there's anything you want to store in my tunnel, feel free to bring them over.
Morning all. It rained in the night, woke me up a coupe of times, makes a noise on the skylight.
Like Raisingirl, eggs and I don't really get on. There is a breakfast room in OH's Norfolk cottage. It used to be a very small dining room then a previous owner built an extension which is now the dining room. The breakfast room is next to the kitchen, which isn't a kitchen diner, but there isn't a door between them, just a doorway. Didn't want to knock down the wall to make a kitchen diner as there is a pantry cupboard, which I really like.
Off to the SM for supplies.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
