Good morning all. Off to youngest daughters in a bit to look after Thomas while she has a zoom meeting then lunch and a trip to garden centre that’s very good for bedding plants as I need to make a start on my hanging baskets. Will get a few plants today and more when my greenhouse is assembled next week.
It’s a bit naughty really as bank balance is looking sad so close to payday but I promise not to spend too much. Honestly!
A very good morning Debs and all to follow. It is eerily still and quiet here this morning - perhaps everyone is practising for the Bank Holiday. It IS still a wee bit early for the school run though. There is no movement whatsoever in the trees outside. This could mean one of two things - either its going to be another fine gardening day or its going to rain. One good job I did yesterday was to clear both the gutters on my GH. They were full of dried plant material - camellia flowers, twigs and dust. Good job it has been dry for a while as it was easy to just push the gunk to the ends opposite the water butts. If I'd left that, it would have ended up being washed into them.
Have a lovely day Debs and enjoy picking your hanging basket plants!

Morning everyone, A sunny morning here, hope it stays. Have a lovely time with Thomas @debs64 😍 Hope you find some plants for your baskets. You had a very busy day in the garden @Ladybird4 hope you don't ache too much. Love the snoopy pic. Time for a cup of tea ☕
Hello all … hope everyone had a restful night … it’s a lovely sunny morning … my car is at the mechanics as it needs a bit of work and some new tyres before the MOT … ouch! So definitely a day at home today … yesterday I fleeced the area where I’d down some beetroot as last year next door’s cats decided to rearrange them 🤐 I usually put wire netting down but the Under Gardener tidied it and put it away in the shed so beautifully it seems a shame to untidy it all … and given that we’ve still got some cold nights to come fleece will do the job and keep them a bit warmer too.
Enjoy the day everyone. 😊

Good Morning Debs, LB, SGL & Dove and all to follow, Debs Enjoy time with Thomas and your daughter, hope you find what you would like for your baskets at the GC, LB Hope it’s another day to spend in the garden, nice for you to have the weather on your side, SGL Lovely to start the day with sunshine, hope you have a nice day ahead in the garden, Dove I hope the car doesn’t cost too much with the work needed, the beetroot sounds like it’s nicely tucked in for any chilly nights, A note for the squeamish please don’t read the following ⛔️ One of the ties securing the metal bar to the top of mums femur bone has detached, we can see it’s protruding and causing her great discomfort. We will find out what is going to be done after an X-ray and consultation this morning. After making such good progress I’m worried how much of a setback this could be unless they can fix the problem without needing major surgery again. Hope to be back with better news later 🤞😊
Good morning SGL, Dove, Ruby and Chive. Oh my goodness Chive that doesn't sound good at all. Your poor Mum, having made so much good progress she will be bitterly disappointed with this latest scenario. Fingers crossed that the x-rays discover what has happened and it can be rectified easily.
SGL, I don't feel too achey at all this morning so maybe these days of gardening have loosened up all the rusty joints. I will know better when I start to dig up my border today.
Are you gardening again today Ruby or busy with other stuff?
Hope the car passes its MOT after all the work its having done today Dove.
