    Hey, Bekkie, Verdun, Lily image

    I've got geum totally tangerine too. Resilient plant. It's now in its third position since moving in due to my garden refurbishment indecisiveness. Quite happy!

    Just a quick hello as shattered. Off to sleep listening to GQT. Watched GW earlier. Love Fridays! image

    Im hoping the poo wont be very fresh! Oh well its free, and the nice people who own the horses bag it up too image



    It wont burn plants unless its directly in contact will it?image

    I think i must have killed my geum image might have been the victim of too much weeding, ooops!

    We've got that programme on too Panda.  Makes it more interesting when you have a personal connection.  Bet you feel proud of your Grandpaimage

    We've lost a few plants due to mildew and being under water for a few weeks so there's plenty of room for the new ones.  Look forward to seeing Totally Tangerine do its stuff -so many good reports on it.  Don't expect it to flower in winter here though Verdunimage

    got my horse poo today - was in bins so emptied into bags - but think the rain got in was wet and sloppy, was quite green as well they must have eaten a lot of grass and it made dads car smelly horrible to breath

    later lugging it down the garden got some on my trousers yuck and it was so heavy sorted it all out forking a bit kept making me feel sick,  it is all covered up with black plastic keep the fly's off and smell away and to help it rot down

    sorted out compost bin 2 into 3, I do have names for the bin but.....

    Thanks Stacey for the offer

    I have geum totally tangerine will flower next year - so snap

    Gg - you have names for the binsimage  Please tellimage

    Would love to say I had seen that combination at Chelsea Bekkie and made a note to follow it up.  No chance - just a happy accidentimage. Sounds good though.

    Fell asleep in front of GW, hope I didn't miss anything interesting.

    Make sure the horse poo has rotted for at least several months before you put it round your plants.

    I can't find Geum Totally Tangerine in France, had a look in England, no luck, no Anemone Wild Swan either.image

    I would love Wild Swan too Lizzie but not seen it in GCs here.  Will maybe try mail order sometime.  Would you be able to get them sent to France?

    You have had another busy day weeding I see.  I 've been doing the same and am aching tonight.  Oh to be twenty years youngerimage .  Off to bed now.  Night allimage
