    dutch hoe seems to be a good investment its doing a good job of loosening the grass trouble is still need to rake it up  i'm totally confused by all the small plants i seem to have are they weeds are they something i would like to grow? mmm  i don't know still if i thin them out they will grow better anyway.  I have a few fuchia's looking quite twiggy with no leaves will they come again? 

    Theres an odd looking tuberous crown growing which i have no idea what it is and i don't remember planting it. 

    i'm afraid a lot of the innocent are not going to survive.

    Hello all, not got time to catch up, will do that later.  Just a quick check in to say hi and fingers crossed I may have a GH structure up by the end of the day (whispers Yippee as I don't want to speak to soon, but so far so good image).

    Catch you all later x

    Blackest - take a pic of the tuberous crown and let us have a look - it might be something wonderful ....

    Lunchtime for me image

    Lovely to 'see' you blackest. Hope you're keeping well. Have missed your input. I like a tuberous crown - goes well with my fleece ensemble. KEF has one of those - or is it a different kind of crown...image image

    Chuck a pic on and someone will ID it by the end of the day!

    Got my big raised bed filled now and some more plants in. A couple of spaces for some plants - one for a Peony definitely, and I'll get some dark sedums to replace the ones I have. Spaces for more Clematis as well. Got pot done for sweet peas and popped some in. Covered them for now but will take that off as soon as they get going. Pots to sow with white cosmos. They're the same size pots as some of my Irises and also some narcissus so they they''ll each take their turn in the border. That will allow me to put the Irises somewhere to get the sun after they've flowered. It's all coming along. Painting after lunch I think and maybe the front grass. 

    Then a lie down in a darkened room...

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Just a flying visit to say hello. Friends who came to dinner last night decided to stay and we are now about to have lunch.

    How can you lie there and think of England

    Blackest I'm pretty sure it's a weed. I was given something looking like that along with some strawberries and I potted it up with them and it grow a lot faster etc...when I checked with neighbour that it wasn't a different variety he said a weed and it spreads underground in clumps that he's had to dig out.
