    Morning all, we are sitting under thick fog! OH wants to cut the grass but it's much too wet at the moment and I have the washing on, so unless the sun makes an appearance soon it will have to dry in doors. We hadn't realised the Attenborough programme was on yesterday so we have set it to record on a repeat.
    I checked the tomato seeds in the propagator and mine are just starting to show but no sign of my neighbours', I do hope they germinate!!

    Apparently indiginous Americans call this one the Pink Moon because it appears when a certain pink flower appears.

    Shame about the fog @floralies :(  Hope it clears soon.   The seeds I sowed the other day are all making an appearance ... the cucumbers were first, then some tomatoes, now some more tomatoes and the squashes ... the beans and sweetcorn haven't appeared yet, but they're not in the heated propagator ... and they take longer anyway.

    Well I can't put it off any longer, need to go into the pond to clear some of the Skunk cabbage. I love it but it is taking over and it is illegal to let it into the wild.
    The problem is, in places the mud is 2 or 3 feet deep, I have become stuck before.

    Morning all.

    Take care @punkdoc!  We'll watch the Attenborough programme after everything you've said. I wasn't sure as I'm not mad about dinosaurs.

    I really must do do gardening today, it's a beautiful day.

    Good morning all, hope you're enjoying the bank holiday weekend :) I'm boldly considering putting my tomatoes in the greenhouse ground today... they're starting to get roots out the bottom of the pots and I think my peonies really need relocating to their summer homes (I overwinter them in the greenhouse, I have no idea if that's right but I've got four buds on my early flowerer this year which is better than the 3 of last year so I'm happy!). I also need to start some cucumbers and chilli peppers (my 'normal' peppers have germinated which is extremely exciting!); plus split some beans I bought yesterday.

    You need to borrow @hostafan's rubber suit and waders @punkdoc 🤿

    Good morning @takhana :)  My Molly the Witch https://plantswomandesign.com/index.php/holy-grail-paeonia-mlokosewitschii-molly-the-witch-peony/ is budding nicely (I've not counted them yet tho)... but I don't take it in or do anything special with it over the winter ... 
    Which one is your early flowering one?

    I have the waders @Dovefromabove, but I will leave the rubber suit for @Hostafan1
