InExcess does do nice plants and nice looking around - need to go back there some when as need more wood for a few things
Hillier's tomorrow as I want their muiti purpose compost for the pallet project and lots for my nursery bed, want it to be a dry day so I can be nosy at the plants
Try some dogwood for the hot border good for winter colour
OL runners pick them young and throw the old ones, just like we do with men ...oops tin hat on here ... Sauce was and double thanks !
Have a good evening all, I will try once again to read my book before I forget how savage the murder was, and who might be a suspect
Panda I hope you've had another posh coffee tonight so you are up bright and early, if so give me a shout I was lazy this morning you were here before me
My firstborn, her hubby and 6 and 1 year old all did the challenge together two days ago. They nominated hubby and secondborn. Hubby did it today, I was a bit worried considering he had a heart attack and a quadruple bypass about 18 months ago, but he was OK. Its £3.00 if you do it and £10.00 if you don't. If I'm nominated I'll pay the tenner.
Weather brightened up this afternoon and I managed to sort out my plants ready for hols. Just need to pick up a bit of last minute shopping and pack and thats it.
Just in .... OH had bangers and mash waiting - yum.
enjoyed catching up but now can't remember it all - so hope all aches and pains are recovering, packing is being done and GC purchases are being admired. I have thalictrum Hewits double - planted last year and flowering for the first time this year - lovely. Intense violet
Woody, Ggirl - we are collecting a posse for a Wisley visit - can either of you Hampshire Hogs make it ? (Its ok to call you that as I am one too)
Panda I love a good crime thriller, especially American detective ones! You have reminded me to see if any of my fave authors have any new ones out
Cant believe so many of us like the black bag filling thrill! Not only have they changed to once a fortnight we are only allowed four bags!!! They gave us all the recycling boxes and bags etc but god knows where they would all go and after one week the one for scraps had maggots! Vile so the whole thing went in black sack the next week! Oh sorry I went on one then!
Hi folks - back in, fed & watered after flagstone-shifting exercise this afternoon. Re-located 12ft x 2ft stone flag path which had become impossibly sloping & slippery, to provide a base for my plastic growhouse & propagating table. Looks good, though I sez it myself... Tomorrow I need to put down groundcover fabric & gravel where the path used to be - much less slippery in winter. It's a path shared with my neighbour to access her garden through mine, so I kind of feel responsible for her welfare...
Thanks for all your cautionary good wishes! I'm built like a weightlifter (a very short one! ) and did quite a bit of patio laying when younger, so I have a fair idea of the techniques which will work - and was wearing my steel toecap boots & leather gloves, having learnt the hard way that it's a good idea! So I have survived unscathed...
Very relieved to hear from my daughter this evening. Little granddaughter seems only to have milk protein intolerance, not lactose or gluten, and should grow out of it by the time she's 2 or so. In the meantime they've been advised to start weaning her early, choosing only foods which rarely cause allergies, so she had her first helping of baby rice this evening. Thank you so much for all your sympathetic and reassuring comments! I never expected, when joining a gardening forum, that I'd experience such kindness. You're all lovely people...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Beaus mum....as bekkie said noooooo, if I did you'd be standing there with me lol. Think Yvies right, I'd rather pay the £10
Glad you had lovely day runny beak
Yvestevie I have nominated Bekkie so she better have her tenner ready
Hope your OH all ok now and he was very brave to do the challenge, please tell him gold star xx
Any chance of pic of your violet one Chicky, sounds lovely

Lovely news about little one Liri - that must be such a relief
.
dark now BM - will get out there and photo the lilac one later in the week - that is if the downpours haven't flattened them
