    Chive - for Number 5: The Eyes of Darkness
    How do you spot a real Welsh daffodil  Grow Wild
    SGL, all the images have gone bonkers overnight on my laptop so I'll give everyone the other answers now. They are all book titles.
    Number 1. Dark, Salt, Clear.
    Number 2. A Theatre for Dreamers.
    Number 3. This one is surprisingly unchanged - the only one - Lady In Waiting.
    Number 4. City of Girls.
    Well done to Chive again who worked out Number 5.
    Ante, I hope that you manage to get the rest of your onions planted after teaching today.
    Morning Debs, if your soil is not suiting the rhododendron you might be better growing it in a big pot with ericaceous compost. Depending on the size of the rhodie of course. Is it a recent planting or has it been in the garden a while? Watering it with cold tea, which is acidic, might help temporarily.

    LB it has been in the ground for ages we found it when we cut down the congested area at back of garden. It’s probably too big to move it’s on it’s own in the bed as we have put down membrane with pots because we couldn’t control the bindweed. I have fed it with specific feed but was wondering if there was anything else I could do to cheer it up. Will try cold tea thanks

    I remember you posting a picture of it Debs. You can mulch with ericaceous compost but that may be difficult to get in the present time unless your GC where you got the strawberry plants stocks it.

    Morning Chive - you snuckered in there. I do hope that Ante isn't planting lions Chive!

    LB I would love to see that but the only lions we have growing here are the dandy ones!

    I absolutely love the predictive text bloomers and they always bring a smile to my face. Definitely needed all the time - and not just now.

    Morning everyone 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
    Beautiful sunny morning 
    again and the birds 
    are singing their 
    little heads off.  
    Such a wonderful sound 🦅🦅🦅
    Haha, brilliant Chive......poor Ante though, having to dig such large holes to plant the Lions 🦁🦁😉😄😄
    LB, so glad it wasn't just me,  thought something was going wrong with my tablet. Sad it meant we couldn't play though.
    Yes very sad news 
    about Honour Blackman. 
    But thankfully is 
    was peacefully at 
    home.
    Hope Boris gets well soon, such awful news too.
    Can't remember if I 
    told you but I got my letter 
    with my mammogram 
    results at the weekend........All ok. So I was really pleased with that 🤗
    Not sure what we're 
    doing today, might 
    do a bit of weeding. But  
    the weather is lovely enough 
    to have lunch outside. 
    Will make the most  
    this weather while 
    it lasts. Oh heck 
    this is taking up  
    so much room. Have 
     A lovely day everyone. Take care . TTFN

    Sorry, to be nosey, I know this is a chat thread, but I was just wondering if you had thought of looking on the rspb online shop for bird food @Songbird-1?
