Had a quick look at the Brunnera Verdun and its lovely, its says tolerant of shade, the area I want to plant up is in sun for most of the day, will it be OK there.
on the back deck. warm sun, sky flawless blue, the slightest cool breeze. dozens of tiny golden finches flirting between the sunflowers and the blue spruce, blackbirds whistling and chortling in the pear tree. the himalayan wind chimes sound-each note just once, barely at the limit of hearing-a perfect moment.
Very nice David, you sure you wouldnt like to swap for my chilly west mids garden and the stray cat fighting anything that comes into the garden? Peaceful it aint!
Five tubs planted. Tulips, daffs, crocus, chicken wire, frustrated squirrel on top.
I'm going to use de caen anemones for the top layer of most, or snowdrops.
I havn't decided what to do with the jumbo marrow. It has a prominent place on the draining board.
Next job is harvesting 20 buffyball winter squashes to add to four crown prince drying off in the polytunnel. My beans have about finished, only a few sweetcorn left. I've emptied the tomato pots, reusing the compost for bulbs with a bit of added FBB.
Didn't get round to making the jam - did make the tomato ketchup it took longer than usual because the toms were juicy (reducing down). Still I'll give it away for C***** presents.
Well today I managed to take my 5 tier gh down took ages washing it and pulling it all apart all dry and put away in a box, was a bit windy this afternoon, later popped to the station with a few more plants all planted out now and watered in still a few plants to go yet
Fidgetbones you got loads of bulbs planted out and remember to soak the de caen anemone

Verdun could always come here and help with the potting. Lots of other interesting gardening stuff for him to do too, like weeding and cutting back.

Sounds lovely, sky is flawless black here, getting chilly.

Have a good evening folks.

The anemones are soaking. Now I've just got to find homes for all of last years pot bulbs.
They might just get a sunny spot in a line in the veg patch.
