    Doc said that as I was planning my 2nd and was on the pill I should allow 3 months to get back normal so poor little chap was born in January instead of April, springtime.

    No Beckie, he was the fourth and last.  Mum had to have an operation on her insides after to put it all back in the right place.!! She always says that having four kids is what ruined her figure.

    Verdun, I've picked six and a half pounds of blackcurrants. Jam jars in dishwasher. Only another bush to go.

    Onions are swelling nicely.

    I'm loving my red onions this year - they're so STRONG to taste! I'm going to miss them when we run out and we have to go back to shop brought.

    My cousins children were both huge - so much so that when the eldest was born on the 1st April I called my aunt out as a joker when she said the weight (14lb something). She says she dreads to think how big they'd have been had she not walked 3 / 4 miles a day and been on her feet all day in a very active job. I wonder how much small babies of the past were down to smoking / poor diet?

    Only thing I know about babies is that I was told that if the woman had the first, and the man had the second, there might be a third but wouldn't be a fourth image Also a good friend who had only one !! said it was like producing a cabbage with spikes on. image

    After that I might join you in a lager Verdun image  lovely and image here.

    Hello folks!  I'm back image  Just been around the garden tying up plants, standing pots back up and moving tall plants in pots into even more sheltered corners - it's blowing a hooley out there!!!  The sea was beautiful at Southwold, a real scouring tide - I should really have gone down to Dunwich and walked along the shoreline looking for amber - it's in this combination of weather and tidal conditions that some good lumps have been found.  

    As it was I went to Woottens - their Hemerocallis Field was open to the public - very beautiful image.  

    Nut, you were right, I bought my Aster Frikartii Monch http://www.woottensplants.com/plview.asp?ID1=2191 

    and a few more things -

    Echinacea purpurea Magnus http://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/97560/Echinacea-purpurea-Magnus/Details 

    and Echinips ritro Veitch's Blue http://www.woottensplants.com/plview.asp?ID1=3836

    I had to be so strict with myself - so many lovely plants image
