Hi Yvie. How are your art classes going? I know that this is something both you and Ruby are interested in. (There may be others I don't know about.) My Bestie's OH was interested in painting and he did dozens. Bestie gave me a pick of his artwork after he passed away and I chose this one of a brooding lighthouse during a storm because it really appealed to me.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Had rather a bad hailstorm earlier on, following the thunder and lightening. The poor garden is flooded out, even one big bin I use as a water butt, overflowed! Big puddles left at edges of borders and our patio was a floatš± Now having a bit of a re think due to the continuous raining,if it's not excessive heat, it's endless raining. LB, how is Jack doing? Did he like getting Ā some tomato plants? We took mum a tomato plant last year, but she didn't do anything with it, think she's past bothering with that now.š Yvie, good to hear you've kept up with the painting classes. You'll be having an exhibition at this rate!Ā LB, that's a lovely emotive picture from besties OH. Safe journey tomorrow and enjoy yourself....weather permitting. We've got more of the same here, tomorrowš¬
LB as Hazel says a lovely atmospheric artwork. Ā Hazel gosh it was really chucking it down where you are. Ā Iāve just woken up and feel better for a rest. Ā Hope the effects will soon wear off. Ā Havenāt heard about an uptodate jab here yet. Ā Wishing you a good journey. Ā Time for tea.
Rosie, the garden looks a tip now and I'm quite disheartened about it, irrationally. It's been slug heaven out there tonight so plenty have gone to their version of slug heaven. My Apple Crisp Ā Heuchera was decimated ( luckily we have another one) so have potted it up but it does look dreadful. I even found some slugs making their up two Delphiniums, I've never seen them on there before. Im signing out for tonight. Hope everyone has a decent night, in particular @Rubee 'sĀ OH.
Hazel had a look for you and found that sage, rosemary, parsley and thyme can deter slugs and snails and can be planted around vulnerable plants and in the borders. Ā Hope this helps. Ā Rosie
Good morning everyone . I havenāt read back . OH is not good .He is going to the dressings clinic this afternoon . District nurse has arranged for nurses to come to our home Mondays and Fridays with the visit to the dressings clinic on Wednesdays as usual. I hope those who are not well are feeling brighter . Thinking of you Lily . I have managed some gardening . Itās an absolute joy to be outside .OH has ordered some peonies, they are coming today . Take care folks.
Morning all. Thank you so much for that research Rosie, I do appreciate it. We are off to the famous DIY store this morning so will look out for some of those plants. I will try planting one near the Heuchera. I think parsley would look appropriate and will fit in with the corner border planting. Rubee, I am sorry to hear your OH is not good,I wish there was something that would at least ease your OH's problems. Thinking of you both, it can't be easy. I feel quite slugish this morning but plenty to do today in preparation of new windows coming tomorrow.
