But you didn't choose them @Hostafan1, half the fun is the choosing ...
Very wise words. In which case I shall check Sienna Hosta's website and make a list
And we've both just done lateral flow tests and they're both negative ... so now to finish loading the car and set off .... see you later folks ... I may or may not be popping in ... depending on the cooperation or not of MIL's wifi .... so have a good day or two ... hugs to all ...

If you don't have H. 'June Fever' make a not of it .... it's rapidly becoming one of my favourites of the smaller-med size ones ... it's a bit of a show-off in the sunshine
I'd meant to have a gardening morning but haven't. Been on the phone a lot, hung out the washing. Tree man has come. He's cutting down the huge ivy that is draped up NDN's hawthorn tree and over our car port. Car port only has a polycarbonate roof. Really it's NDN's ivy, they don't want it but they are elderly and I think not that well off. So we said, if they didn't mind we would ask the tree man to remove a lot of it. I do wish they would cut down their bamboo that is leaning on the wall of our house and in the gutter. They said they would but there was a bird's nest in it. They planted a load of stuff on the boundary years ago which is now too big. I hate their Leylandii the most, blocks sun from our garden.
NDN on the other side, elderly too (I suppose we are as well!) cultivates bindweed and ground elder. She won't be able to drive her car into her car port soon for bindweed.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Raisingirl,you and me both. I had to write lists for the kids,how often cats,dogs, chicken rabbits, fish,rats were fed how much, phone number for vets.when to water plants,how much etc etc. I always got the washing done before we went,then you come home with a ruddy great pile,it's no holiday.
Have a good time at your MILs @Dovefromabove. (You are probably there now - I'm so late checking in!). I think we need an updated pic of all your hostas @Hostafan1! Impressed by your 'small' tank @Pat E . I don't think the UK will go into any kind of lockdown again so it's always a surprise to read of other places that do. Hope your son will be OK. I spent most of the morning on adminny type stuff (approving proofs, sending off booking forms, having a row with the town council...). Last night I had a dream that the whole town got together to see what we could do to help with the climate crisis. It all worked very well, with lots of cooperation and everyone rushing off to perform their allotted tasks. Then I woke up. Yes we should be doing that, yes towns up and down the country should be doing that, the government should most definitely be doing that! But I don't think it should be me suggesting it this time... On a related matter - why oh why isn't there investment in using all the fleeces that farmers cannot sell? What a wonderful resource that is just going to waste.
There is @didyw. The latest is biodegradable tree guards to keep off rabbits and such. Great news given that millions of the plastic ones are used every year and don't get recycled. There's this for rare breeds wool - http://www.woolinitiative.com/ Many more I'm sure.
