Thanks for the comments about DarceyBussell Debs. It's a rose I saw in a pot at Davis Austin's garden and really liked the colour & form - but I did think it was a weak scent. That specimen was full of blooms & very healthy but I guess the DA team have a whole lot more time to spend tending roses than I do - and are probably more inclined to use chemicals to control problems.Â
Been in the loft and located where water is dripping onto the light fitting. Covered the fitting and towels down to soak up any further dripping. Needs somebody with more of a clue to locate where water is coming through the roof as it is all a bit complicated up there with the extension roof being added on top of the original roof.
Ooh I was about to ask how your OH was feeling @Songbird-1 So glad he's feeling better. @Biglad hope you manage to get someone out to fix the problem soon. Raining here again and quite windy. But not as bad as last night. The next few days are supposed to be much the same. Night night everyone, sleep wellÂ
Bought 60 basket plants yesterday I have  lots of baskets to fill for myself and others. I need to look after them for a week or two so that will be fun , hoping the poly tunnel at the allotment can be utilised as at home all available surfaces are covered with seedlings.Â
I am praying for warmer weather. No more frosts please!Â
I need to copy Woodstock and do a SM run first thing. By the time I get back I hope that it is a bit warmer. I have to say that the garden is looking very refreshed this morning. All rather lovely really.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Frosty shed roof this morning and it looks like it could be a sunny and dry day ahead
Already bought a BBQ this morning and also planning a B&Q visit to finally get the water butt I've been hankering after. I'm hoping that putting guttering on the shed will:-
a) not prove beyond my very limited DIY abilities  b) decrease the temporary 'pond' problem every time it rains c) harvest enough rainwater to keep the blueberries happy
Good morning Debs BL and LB. It’s a gorgeous morning here.BL sounds like a busy day for you .Debs enjoy your gardening .LB careful passing the PLANT section .
