  • Good morning LB and Debs.  Hazelheucheras don’t like full sun but don’t like to be completely in the shade either say the experts.  You may not have dug a big enough hole for the root growth and it could be struggling.  Add some nice compost and check for critter and insect damage and then cross your fingers.  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    Good morning and White Rabbits, White Rabbits, White Rabbits 

    Happy Birthday Rubee. I hope that you have a lovely day.

    Does anyone know where White Rabbits came from? I recall from school it used to be on the black board on the 1st of the month and we were told we had to say it before 12 for luck.

    Debs, I hope that you get to swap your holiday from work to suit. We are the same at work. It's ok at first when picking dates but they options soon dwindle. We have to book our holidays upto 12 months before too.

    I was out in the garden yesterday too. I think the gardens in my area were very busy with activity. You could hear mowers, chatter, children playing. So good to hear.

    I hope that you have a good day 😁

    Biglad, all my 'stuff' goes into the garage so it now looks like Steptoe's yard. A little later this year I'm going to hire a mini skip to just dump everything. I did manage to get rid of a pallet to my NDN for her to burn in her fire pit but that was just a drop in the ocean of 'stuff'. I cannot believe how many plant pots I have managed to accumulate over the years.
    Chive, it much be such a relief to the family that your FIL is settled and happy. Roll on visiting!
    RosieBB your croissants sound yummy scrummy. Making my mouth water.
    Hazel, heucheras were one of Joyce's favourites and she advised me to treat them with a vine weevil treatment every year as they are a favourite of that particular beastie. It might be worth your while digging out the plant and checking for vine weevil grubs before following RosieBB's advice for replanting then to get some vine weevil treament.
    Morning Debs, I hope you manage to select a week that is available.

    Having watched Monty's compilation programme on Friday, I decided to have a go at growing some dahlias from seed and treat them as annuals rather than saving the tubers they produce. Anyway, I've sent off for a packet of dwarf dahlia seeds to give it a whirl. Watch this space.

    Morning PR you snuckered in there. There are many theories relating to the saying of 'white rabbits' before midday on the first of the month, combined with the saying of 'pinch and a punch for the first of the month and no returns'. They are reputed to bring good luck. Apparently it was a common belief of WW2 bomber aircrew to say 'white rabbits' each morning to keep them protected.

    Good Morning everyone, white rabbits 🐇🐇🐇 
    Hazel & RosieBB I do hope you both got some more sleep after your early starts, 
    LB Thank you yes we are very pleased FIL is happy. Your garage sounds much like ours, rammed to the rafters with stuff that needs chucking out one day. Good luck with the Dahlia seeds I’m sure you’ll have success, 
    Debs I hope you can sort out your holiday dates at work, fingers crossed.
    PurpleRose I hope you have a good day ahead,



    🥳 Happy Birthday Rubee 🎁🍰🎂

    Morning everyone.
     White rabbits have to be the first thing you say on the morning of the 1st day of the month. Say it three times for good luck for the rest of the month.  Had heard it's something to do with RAF bombers too LB. 
    'Pinch punch'  can be said up until miday., although perhaps it differs in different areas 🤷‍♀️
    Lovely rabbit pic @Ladybird4
    Hoping the grass if dry enough to start cutting it this morning. But I've got a feeling it still might be too wet.
    @bluebellsinthewild Thank you Rosie, I'm feeling much better now. 
    Have a good day everyone
