With Fairygirl having 100 whips, and Dove having a certificate in castration, I can see a queue forming af disgruntled women with their errant husbands.
Sophie Raworth is the newsreader who is now on a crash course to get down to our level on all things gardening. Shows complete lack of imagination to pick MD, who should stick to GW.
My vote would be for Chris Beardshaw who is well overdue recognition as a great gardener more than capable of fronting Chelsea coverage.
First frost here last night, so dahlias done for finally. They will have to wait until next week for any help from me, as my diary is full for now.
Have I said good mrning yet? I cant remember. Good morning anyway, oh no its not, good afternoon.
Lots of cleaning and tidying done, a bit of paperwork but just cant face much of that. Didnt mind the HW, bit of a novelty, as I dont normally have to do it, but now I'm down to a 2 day week I shall have to do it myself.
Some of cuttings look sorry for themselves, just the salvia patio blue I think. Hopefully its just the tops going to sleep and the roots will be ok???
Off to mums later but the casserole I was taking wont be ready so a quick rethink needed(out soon but not up to mums til about 4.30).
Good morning - Good afternoon - Hello is fine by us and it saves us oldies checking our sundials
My paperwork has been postponed until tomorrow as I've just taken delivery of a lovely present and it has had to be potted up and put safe in a sheltered corner for the winter I'm a very fortunate Dove indeed!!!
But please remind me to do my paperwork tomorrow, or the car won't be insured if I leave it much longer!!!
We've got smokey sausage and beans simmering in the slow cooker - it's beginning to smell gorgeous.
I've got some salvia cuttings but they don't look very happy - I'm keeping them as dry as I dare in this muggy weather - fingers crossed.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
My new whips are blackthorn - if the plebs round here won't keep their children/pets out of my garden - I'll keep them out
Cold wet and windy here today but frost tonight so if the ground's not too solid tomorrow I'll get some in. Glad I stocked up on compost. My own isn't quite ready for use unfortunately but it's looking good.
What's your prezzie Dove? Something expensive I hope
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks for the reminder about car insurance dove, the company didnt remind me this year just checked got about 3 weeks to do a search round.
We'll remind each other tomorrow! Are you going to get one of those Prairie Marmots We got one last year - haven't got the foggiest of what to do with it - OH won't put it in the loft. In millenia to come archaeologists will wonder whatever we were doing - filling our homes with strange fluffy animals.

When I first joined a couple of years ago I was in such a rush to get on with things (we were in the throes of moving house) that I picked a name out of thin air (we had a lot of pigeons in this garden and Dovefromabove seemed apt, also we're both Vic and Bob fans). I kept trying to get a photo of the pigeons and collared doves who seemed to be in this garden all the while, but before long the regular visits from the pair of peregrines on the cathedral spire meant that we get very few doves and pigeons here. So I put on a photo of a frog that I'd just taken out in the garden, thinking that I'd soon change it.
I've tried a pic of a Turtle dove, but it's too small, so what do you think of this lovely lithograph of a dove, by Picasso (it's in the Tate) It'll remind me that I'm a painter as well as a gardener and cook, and I need to reclaim that bit of myself.

All men are allowed to cross their legs at this point,

Isn't Chris Beardshaw one of the RHS judges though? Maybe that is what Mr T will be doing. Presenting as well would be a major conflict of interest.

A very kind person on here (she knows who she is) has send me a lovely Rosa glauca - a lovely shrubby plant in a big box - she is kindness personified
There are some really lovely people on here
I'm quite touched 
(and anyone taking that the wrong way can see FG and her whips!!!)
We'll remind each other tomorrow! Are you going to get one of those Prairie Marmots

I've changed my avatar - what do you think?
