    Hi all

    Should be leaving Loch Lomond about now, to continue north, but we are not.

    Have to admit, I felt a tiny bit emotional watching the end of GW last night.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    I think you would have been annoyed with the section on Agapanthus, @Hostafan1.
    I don't know enough about them, but I think he was probably wrong.

    I've given up on the whole programme. So much of it is just wrong

    Stoppit @Hostafan1 <spanking smiley needed> 😉  ... I thought it was done well ... enough to mark the event but certainly not sentimental, which is what I can’t abide when it comes to pets ... or people either for that matter. 
     Hiya @punkdoc ... onwards and upwards ... we keep looking at the webcams of our favourite places ... not sure whether it helps or makes it worse. 

    Anyone free to help with some pricking out and hoeing the veg patch?

    A feature on a gardening programme about a dead dog and it was " not sentimental"?? 
    lol 
    We'll agree to disagree on that one

    I can never work out when to split my pot of agapanthus .... so they’re getting more and more potbound.

    IMHO they DON'T  like being potbound. Old wives' tale .
    I repot mine when i see the pots are full of roots, same as I'd do with any other plant in a pot.

    Yes, I know that the potbound thing is considered a myth ... but at what time of year do you split them?  MD did his this week.

    I do mine about Feb . I'd NOT do them now. Why would you split something in full growth when it can done when dormant?
