    Leader Plant have amelanchier @Busy-Lizzie.Β  So do these people who have a huge nursery of good quality plants tho I've only bought in person, not online -Β https://www.pepiniere-vegetal85.fr/content/10-nos-services

    They are both out of stock. I would like to see the plant I'm buying first so I don't want it online.

    The nursery I saw today was smaller and more expensive than the one I went to last week. Worth a visit though. I didn't buy anything, no room until I make another bed. I must finish the shrub bed first and weed the vegetable garden.

    Afternoon all.Β  Sitting down with a cuppa after a very busy day.Β  We put together the raised bed and filled it with veg compost.Β  It took 5 hours and I am now officially K***kered.Β  After all the problems with the delivery it was good to see that the product was good.Β  The bed was very sturdy,relatively easy to put together and the compost was first rate.Β 
    Still have to fill a few pots but then the veg plot will be done, all ready for sowing. Now for a well earned rest.
    Hi from Kingswinford in the West Midlands
  • Hi all from a very drizzly Kent!! Its stinkingly grey here today, no walk around the block possible sadly.

    On a positive note we have had the quote for our bespoke shed/greenhouse combo and its all booked in for the weekend after Easter!! Yay! I can move my seedlings from the conservatory into my very own greenhouse! It does however mean that we need to tidy the garage up to be able to fit everything from the shed in there temporarily.... considering there is still a box of stuff from my flat that I moved out of in 2014 in there and some tomato wine (I know, don't ask and its awful!) from 2012 that is still at the back covered in cobwebs, I feel that it could be a whole Easter weekend task!

    Second positive note is that my mum and I have decided that this weekend is GC trip time. We have a nice small nursery in the next village so will nip over there and see what they have got to offer. Lovely.Β 

    Hope you are all well :)
    Dolce far niente....

  • Gosh, what a day! Went to visit a previous colleague and her young family today. I have no children; a contractor popped into the office and asked me 'is this your daughter?' Quite insulated at first but, at the time I was 48 and she 23 so perfectly acceptable.Β  Anyway, took Tula2 puppy to see her kids-
    , 3 and 1. Poor Tula2 was car sick - her Weetabix breakfast all over the passenger seat and then she sat in it - all over her πŸ™„ Went for a walk. Hockey mate, very intelligent woman, previous head of IT for NHS lives opposite.Β  She is now an acholic. Her house looked so neglected and uncared for, curtains closed all day. How can I help?
