Morning all, my coffee maker is permanently broken so I always make my own! Only had one so far! Chilly here. Didn't do slug patrol last night so hoping everything in the greenhouse is OK!
Managed to catch my 2 accidental fish in my wildlife pond. They arrived when very small and was given some pond water from a friends pond. As a result, no frogspawn has ever survived. I have frogs, newts and toads but Monty and Don, the 2 accidental fish never let reproductions live. They have now been rehomed in my village pond by papa womble. Frogs and newts are now cavorting happily!
Dug lots of the wrong bluebells from my garden yesterday, I know I'll have missed a few but it's the only thing that was growing other than ground elder when I got here! I'll never be able to get rid of all of either!
🤣 it's useful stuff sometimes @Hostafan1! Gardens looking pretty good thanks Hosta. Made some changes already. Moved my little apple tree to hide my messy corner! Got lots of new posh iris i treated myself to, gala Madrid and another i can't remember until I've had another coffee! Seed sowing is in full swing. Zinnia Queen lime red, you must look that one up...gorgeous and cosmos lemonade and Daydream Zinna pinka So many more too! What plans do you have for your garden this year?
@WonkyWomble. I have to " re do " the pergola. I'm sure it's only the roses holding it upright. I've got our builders coming round to look at it this week. I also aim to get MUCH more planting done down at the lake and lots of moving / editing elsewhere.
Sounds like your going to put that energy you have gained from extra sleep to good use @Hostafan1! I had to cement a couple of posts of my pergola in a it had got a bit wonky! Love spring! So much to look forward to! What are you planning on planting? Hostas?

I've got loads of irises which I bought , split and planted in " the allotment " which are now big enough to be planted down at the lake. A friend gave me over 100 Jap Anemones which can be mass planted down there too along with masses of astilbes which she gave me last year and I've got a load of Zantedescia which I grew from seed

Another 11 hours sleep last night and the sun is shining. ( but frosty )
How's your garden coming along this year ?

You must have the rain that was forecast here @D0rdogne_Damsel.
I'm going to lunch at Son 1's today.
