Bit of a headache when I woke up so decided to sleep it off. I missed the rain though, so that's good
Am currently battling snails that have decided my baby morning glories are their meal of choice There is nothing more annoying than poking your head out the front door and seeing the leaves with holes and some plants stripped of leaves completely
I apologize for not posting for such a long time between my garden and trying to settle my Sons estate,my dear Wife being very sick (she is getting better) I neglected the computer.On July the third my sons fellow worker dedicated a garden to him where he worked.The workers took up a collection hired a landscaper to remove soil and trees from a neglected flower bed across the front of the bus garage refilled it with good top soil everyone donated plants for the garden,a stone was engraved and set in the flower bed.He was known as Super Dave.Heres the stone
Phew, what a job!!! One Philadelphus pruned very hard (it hasn't been pruned for over 5 years properly!!) I'm hoping now some light will get to the lower stems now I've removed the old wood and it will flower better next year......fingers crossed!!
Lovely to 'see' you Bill, I was asking the other day if anyone had heard from you. So sorry your wife has been I'll but glad to hear she is on the mend. The garden for your son is lovely, it must be a great comfort to know he was thought of so fondly by so many people. My begonias are flowering by the way and I've git a new type of orchid (you may have seen that before you had a 'rest').
Bill, good to see you - no need to apologise - we were just hoping that all was well with you. Sorry to hear that your wife has been unwell but glad that she's on the mend now, and what a lovely memorial for your son - you must be very proud that he was so well thought of
Panda - take a little more water with it next time
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Right, that's lunch done and brew had......off to buy Epsom salts, lawn food and then back to more bush cutting - well supervising this time as OH will need to use the hedge cutters, but very careful supervising as it is bushes near my sunflowers
Approx 5 hours until my big man gets back from his 3 day trek

Right off to prune my Philadelphus before OH gets the hedge trimmer on it.....although he has strict instructions not to!!!
Hi all

Hope you all enjoy your afternoons.

Good to see you Bill
What a lovely idea.
In the sticks near Peterborough
That is a lovely idea. What a lovely way for your son to be remembered
Good to see you too
How good that they thought so much of him to do that. You must be very proud.
