Edd, if you look at the first and then the second pond pic, you'll see the fences are being painted
The Lovely Builder and his Mate have been fantastic - they carried on out there even when it was raining - they only came indoors when it was tea and cake time
Clari - hope your health picks up - problem innards are a nuisance.
Mrs G - I'm sure everyone's enjoying a lovely meal in good company
And Edd. WELL DONE!!! to you and your colleagues re the rescue - great admiration for you and those who do that job.
Verdun. glad you had a good supper
If I've missed saying hello to people today please accept my apologies - it's been hectic keeping up with the builders' need for tea and cake

Looking good now Dove. It'll be really established by summertime. The pleasure you'll get from it will be immeasurable
Good work Edd. I think all the rescue people are terrific and I don't know how you cope with the daft clowns (that's the polite term) who think going up hills is like a stroll in the park. I remember coming down Ben Lomond some years ago ( at this time of year so plenty of ice/snow at the top) and we met a party of girls dressed for a day at a shopping centre asking how long it would take them to get to the top. One had on what I would describe as 'ballet shoes'. Unbelievable. They had 4 hours walking still to do at least and it would have been dark before they got back down. They're probably still up there.
No gardening today as other things to do after work. Going for a quick look round before I put my feet up.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I bought a paeony from Wilkinson's the other week - they were virtually giving them away because they were sprouting in the bags - I've potted it up, it's been in a sheltered spot outside on the terrace and it's growing away nicely

Phew! Blinkin marvelous tagine if I do say so myself! had starters a la casual which worked well rather than 'sat down '. Very happy, enjoyed cooking, enjoyed company. Did beans for 5yr old with wedges etc she was happy. OH I think has done kitchen so will go downstairs n chill.
Hello everyone Well after a long day, but good and spoke to some interesting people (more of that later), I have had a quick catch up......sorry if I miss anyone;
MrsG, HUGE well done, I knew you could do it
Edd, HUGE well done and lost of respect too for rescue people
Panda, huge hugs, I felt a but like that last week with the GH incident....sometimes you just some out time but we are all here
Person dieting (Dove/Fairy?? - I need a notepad!!), poor you, that's rubbish
Dove, the pond looks fantastic
Now then, whoever mentioned the Italian seed company, I was talking to that man today at the exhibition......I'm not quite sure why he is always at food shows but he is.
I was also talking to the man from the Chilli Farm in Devon where Stacey goes, lovely man and loads of lovely foodie products from chillies to give me inspiration
And that's it's, that's my day, got home at 9.45, tea, catch up and wine, bed
Good morning all - an early start here - I'm leaving in about 25 mins to meet up with my son and spend the day viewing auctions etc - coffee anyone???
Edd, pot them up in quite large pots - keep the dahlia and zantedeschia indoors and put the paeony in a sheltered corner outside -plant the paeony shallowly, with the base of the shoots no more than 2" below soil surface.
I'd then keep them in the pots and not plant them until after they've flowered - you can sink the pots into the ground where you want them to be and they can flower there and then you can decide what to do.
The paeony is hardy but is fussy about how it's planted.
The coloured forms of Zantedeschia are more tender than the white, so I'd keep that and the dahlia protected from frost.
And you know about the dahlias.
