Morning Debs. I'm assuming all your clemmies are different? Slugs and snails can be problematic with these plants. When you planted them did you plant them nice and deep - up to 4 inches deeper than they were in the original pot. This encourages plenty of strong root growth from the stems that are underground. It does seem odd that one is thriving and the other two are a bit poorly and it could be worthwhile doing what you suggested. It will also give you a chance to check that the roots are not being attacked underground by bugs.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Spot on @Ladybird4 Although I need to be a member of a club to get an official handicap. Toying with the idea but the unpredictability of where/when I'll be working probably means it isn't worth it.
Another cracking day here but I need to put a shift in after not 'busting a gut' on Mon/Tues
Put the garden waste bin out 5 mins before they collected, which means all the Brians and Cyrils that I flicked off the lid/sides have gone to another place
@Ladybird4 they were plants I rescued last year from Tesco and I lost the labels, one I think was Hagley Hybrid? The healthy one is cream something they were doing well in their pots but the naughty slugs have had a feast. Have dig them up, roots seem healthy so I have potted them up and hope they can get big and strong enough to fight off the slugs. I don’t find they do well in containers and want something to cover my trellis so may invest in more of these don’t survive.
Morning all. Another nice day here too. OH is feeling up to cutting the grass so I'll oversee that to make sure he's ok 😊 23 is coming for an overnight stay on Saturday so need to be fit and well to keep up with him. 😊 Have a good day everyone. LB, hope you hear some good news re brother today.
Good evening all. Well I 'hovered' until almost 15:45 and eventually my toilet was delivered. It is now residing in the garage until June 10th. It sort of curtailed my gardening for today but tomorrow will be better. My Bestie is away on holiday so I will not be visiting. I do need to go to 'sco but can do that first thing before the school runs begin.
Brother is more or less the same today.
I am signing out for tonight. Looking forward to Sewing Bee. See you all in the morning.

LB, isn't that typical? Delivered right at the last moment! Not to worry though, at least you've got it. We've had a nice pottering day, mainly out in the garden. Im signing out too for today. Night all, have a good evening.
Morning everyone, Hope you're all well. The funeral was this Tuesday and the sun shone for him. It was a very sad day, but a nice day too. There were so many people there, all saying such lovely things about him. I feel very strange now and need a little bit longer before I can post regularly. But I will try and pop in now and again. I do miss you all and will be back when I can. Take care everyone and enjoy your gardens and the beautiful weather we're having. Love to you all x
