  • Good morning @Dovefromabove @Pat E and @Hostafan1. A chilly start here too, although it will reach 15 degrees later. Rain forecast for Thursday so far. 

    Hope the hospital visit is successful for you @Hostafan1, although the injury doesn't seem to have interfered with gardening. Your plans for the lakeside sound great. 

    I have a rose to move today, it's already starting to get going so I need to do the deed before it gets too big to manage. I hope it transplants well, it is a super rose, repeat flowering, lovely scent and always loads of blooms. Buying a trellis/an obelisk for it has been a real task, unless you pay a fortune there's a a lot of cheap flimsy offerings on line. So many reviews say about missing parts, screws too short and needing octopus arms to put it together. Still on a mission.  :/

    Right off to dig a big hole! Have a good day all. :)

  • Morning all -- chilly start here too. My chilli seedlings just about ready to be pricked out and i have some nasturtium and snapdragon seeds sprouting ( doing an online "competition" ... sow-along really .. with my niece in absence of being able to see her!). Have a good day folks/forkers and best of luck at the hospital @Hostafan1

    Good morning.  Bright and sunny here but still very chilly.  PT for me this pm then, out of the wind.  Getting a bit frustrated here and even the frogs and toads think it's cold.  No amphibian chorus yet.

    Shock horror from Possum last night.   The chooks only laid 4 eggs yesterday and I used them all in a frittata so her plans to make dessert had to change.  Apple crumble was good but not what she wanted.

    @D0rdogne_Damsel you could build an obelisk and/or an arbour and/or a pergola for far less money than a kit and twice as sturdy and to your own dimensions.  Get a cop of his Cottage Gardens and Paradise Gardens books - https://www.google.co.uk/search?sxsrf=ALeKk039QdAPDmrcMtR4WTgr1uTeFfmcNg:1615198770355&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=Geoff+Hamilton+obelisk+design&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiz3MqnvKDvAhUFA2MBHUAMBtUQjJkEegQIBRAB&biw=1280&bih=606

    Hope everyone with injuries or illness is healing well and that you will be more careful now @Hostafan1.   Hugs to all with worries for loved ones or themselves.

    Morning everybody. Nicely warm and sunny out there so I'd better hurry up and get out. Apple crumble one of our favourites ,Obelixx.
