Floppy roses! Mine aren't big enough to do that yet. Enjoyable perambulation around the garden snipping here and pulling out there before getting really stuck in. Sun in and out - hope it stays out! Grass to cut, hedges to trim! Glad you are being spoilt @Pat E
Oh ‘eck what a PITA @chicky 🤗 that’s exactly what happened to niece in her first week in her Uni flat last September … if it’s any consolation she said she didn’t feel ill … just very grumpy 😠Â
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Happy 27th thrice over @Pat E .. fingers crossed for Chicklet ( I do know various families where - in spite of not taking isolating-from-others-within-household measures only part of the family has contracted it ( in these cases the not got it was defined by repeated testing results in order to rule out asymptomatic or barely symptomatic infections) so she might be lucky.
Very pleased with my new Gertrude Jeckyll roses this morning and so excited as my pond/waterfall kit arrived today! OH had fun with his boys toys in preparing the ground and I've had fun ordering loads of plants for my new beds!!Â
Welcome @SamBevington - what a lovely garden. And agree that ordering new plants is a lot of fun! There is another thread https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1049663/garden-gallery-2021#latest where you can post pics of your garden. This thread is more chit-chatty. On the subject of which - hope Chicklet doesn't get it @chicky! What rotten luck - but how responsible of her to obey the rules.
@SamBevington, what fun, a blank canvas, but it is taking shape.
I've spent the afternoon in the garden, which sorely needs a lot of time spent in it. Realised it's nearly a year since I was in Norfolk, thanks to Covid and the French house downsize and move. OH's gardening lady seems to have left out the pruning, despite being asked, and it was starting to get out of control. I wish she'd at least done the roses.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
