    Hi there

    Have done a quick scan -

    Stacey - keep fighting - all the best

    Liz is stoned

    Kef is cold and Fidget sounds warm

    Sure there is more

    Oh yes DD still can't find photo but then again have been outside most of the day.

    Transplanted rose 'Kew Gardens' (fingers crossed), planted Euphorbias (that was the fun bit. Have spent rest of day throwing away tomato plants, sorting out GH, working out which pots need a wash and which can wait.

    Feel much better but now feel as if I have done a bit much - off to bath now as very grubby and stiff

    The Under Gardener has been lovely this afternoon - apparently I'm not yet fit to plant shrubs and bulbs, so under supervision he has planted a buddliea, some perennials and some bulbs for me.

    Now I'm roasting a chicken and chunks of squash to have with roast potatoes and runner beans for our supper. image

    No undergardener for me today!

    GC trip and trees bought, nothing like I'd planned imagebut just ones I like image, the planting 'scheme' will just have to fall into place image

    Shredded all last years buddleia and laurel and dismantled the compost bin ready to sell.

    supposedly tidied and chopped but doesn't look any different.image

    Nice walk in the park and to the playground with sonimage

    Lesley - we hold ghost hunts in the building,  I'm told its quite active or at the very least their imaginations enjoyed themselves!

    Got my bargin bin strawberries planted into the ground so we don't get any chilly roots in pots as I was amazed to see what huge rootballs they'd grown after looking so dead and pathetic when I brought (rescued) them. It's at the far end of the garden from where the chickens will be (arriving in spring) so I'm hoping we can easily incorporate it into the eating area and chicken proof it - Clarington only shares so much!

    I can't decide whether to plant some of my herbs (Sage, thyme, oregano, camomile when I can find it) in the adjoining plot or something else (garlic, onion... agh the choices!!)

    Thanks Clari - I've obviously missed the ghost hunts somewhere along the line. Sounds great funimage

    The undergardener did very well today Dove - he deserves the feastimage

    Hope you've caught up on your sleep Panda - you've earned so many brownie pointsimage

    Hope you continue to feel better Matty.  It's good that you know when to stopimage

    That's the thing with plans Mrs G - they are adaptableimage  Look forward to seeing the trees in the ground.

    Enjoy your evening on the sofa lily and I hope veg man goes too.  Not really a Strictly fan but I may watch a bit while OH is engrossed in American Footballimage. My Sunday treat is Downton Abbey which I'm going to watch in bed - bliss.
