So is it the plant that is depressing @B3 or the quarter day association? They always remind me of my lovely neighbour who passed away many, many years ago.

When they bloom, it's all over until next year. Nothing much us going to pop up until the spring. I suppose I should think ahead and plant cyclamen. Pansies and bellis are nice enough but it's not the same as things popping out of the soil in the spring But I can see why you feel differently @herbaceous.
Ah, understand that feeling only too well @B3 an advantage of being so rubbish with flowers means I don't have any expectations of anything much popping up except more dock and nettles Â
I don't have any Michaelmas daisies they are in the neighbours garden the other side, he carried on growing them after Jo passed away and now he has gone too. I might have to nip round and pinch some cuttings in case the new neighbours dig them up. Although success with them will be a bit hit and miss - nothing ventured......

Bloody Firefox has updated my phone browser without asking and now nothing works properly, everything is upside down and it's deleted all my saved stuff. I liked how it worked before
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
The wind had blown the runner bean wigwam over; it caught one of the sunflowers on its way down and is now sprawled across the courgettes and one of the squash plants. 😖Â

Ahh!  I came downstairs to find that OH has re-erected the wigwam already 🥰 ... perhaps this should be on RTBC ... but,  for the sake of continuity .... 😂Â

How very dare you post an upbeat comment on the moaning thread @Dovefromabove I'm slightly curmudgeonly because I didn't reproof my boots a few weeks ago, so I'll need to get the good ones out of the car if I want dry feet today.Â
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
OH has left to visit Possum. I am taking advantage and sorting and tidying tools. What have I found? A proper electric drill with a cable - this after having been told I wasn't allowed to buy a real one and had to struggle with the battery powered on these last few days.
When did he buy it and how come he forgot? I've a mind to put a padlock on the tool cupboard and keep him out!
