I bought 2 more pots, still half price, now I need two more roses, but I think I'll wait for winter. The typing is working OK here. Now I'll see how fast it sends.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hi all, scorchio in this part of S.Yorks 28c in the shade on the patio.
Watered pots earlier and been to the market, seems like there are some crabby people about think it's too warm for them
Lizzie glad you got more pots, I usually find when I want more of a bargain they have all gone and I wish I'd bought them initially. Hope all ok in England with your with OH
Stevie hi, I'd love a few of those broad beans I don't have space to grow them
I'm going to stay inside for a while as I don't won't baking, even too warm under the sun brolly.
Hi again all, haven't been on the forum for a few weeks as I've been very busy with other things. OH has tried to keep up with the garden but at this time of year it seems to need both of us!
A couple of very good friends of nearly 50 years standing had a very serious motor accident in France a month ago and after an extended stay in a French hospital in Brittany were allowed to return to UK. I picked them up in Plymouth and drove them up to Bannockburn where they live and managed to get them home safely. I did give you a wave as I passed SE Glasgow on my way back Fairygirl just in case you wondered who it was!
The garden seems to have sensed my absence and exploded with produce! Broad beans, Runner Beans, tomatoes, lettuces, dwarf beans, carrots, turnips, courgettes by the dozen, + I just picked 15 cucumbers this morning. (Cucumber sandwich anyone?)
We have booked tickets for Hatton Park flower show for RHS Members day (23rd) as we've never been to H.P. Show before so hope it will be a nice day.
Our lupins are all over now but the nasturtiums are putting on a really good show, apricots are turning a beautiful golden orange colour though still not ripe yet. Eileen has been busy making Blackcurrant Jam as the Blackcurrants have been very prolific this year and she decided we would use them in preference to the blackbird getting the lion's share for once.
Well Lesley compost bins called - Verdun he is the bin no 1 that gets feed first, bin 2 called Woody as the material is starting to go woody getting there and bin 3 called Fairygirl as she has waved her wand and it is nearly ready for use on the garden

Normal, perhaps someone has fixed it or it's only some of us.
Warm and sunny here this morning (NW) but clouded over now - rain later? At my friends' house atm, having just shelled a ton of broad beans.
Hope everyone's having a good day in their garden.

Forum working okay for me.

Too hot to do anything.
Must go and water though.

Hello John, we wondered where you'd got to. I hope your friends are OK. Welcome back.
Hi John, good to 'see' you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to your friends x
