Oh meant to say about heliports, I started doing this only 3 years ago, plants just look so much better and I think flowers are bigger But I have never been sure whether or not to take all the leaves off so I leave a few
Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
I know you have a large garden LilyP - but a heliport. I have only ever taken off the brown leaves before but I will certainly try taking them all off now with these recommendations.
Sorry I missed your printing comment yesterday. I always loved the smell of new paper (still do) and I'm sure you can get some very expensive paper made that way.
Hope the service goes well Dove.
Fairy I think the frost would be far preferable to the awful weather here this morning.
Up early again. Heavy frost here, so thermals on, and porridge eaten.
I've emptied the tardis into empty compost sacks, ready for distributing around the garden. The two daleks and the rotol have been emptied in to the tardis to mature for next spring. Two builders bag to empty now into the empty rotol and daleks for second ferment. Contents of builders bags look a bit dry so I'm having to wet it as I go.
Time for cake and coffee before next job.
Mrs, Garden, I will do instructions for taking cuttings of brugmansia shortly. Save a large coffee jar or similar for standing the cuttings in water.
Yet they want to pull down a rather lovely family home that a farmer built on his own land to house his family near his cows which is green belt. It doesn't overlook anyone. I admit he should have asked first, but being a farmer, not a developer he probably wouldn't have got permission. So why do they allow lots of homes on green belt that will spoil other people's lives?
Sorry, morning all. Only 2° and foggy.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Sorry Runnybeak, hadn't read about that. Know what you mean tho as that seems to be happening in our little village too. Not at the back of me thankfully but it will still look quite sightly and our poor little village school won't be able to cope with more children. You can't get an appiontment now at the doctors so there won't be any hope after they've finished this lot. Far too many for a tiny village, out in the sticks. They have been building on another part too that always floods wouldn't want one of those!! They have been trying for years to get it passed, and had to stop half way through at the beginning of the year as the houses got flooded
Lesley - frost would definitely have been better. Very cold and miserable because of the wind chill.
Rbeak - I feel for you. All green belt land where they were building near my parents' home. Their house was one of the first built there and they were told the areas across from them would never be built on. Full of footballers now when it used to be farmland. There's a hospital nearby - it was mainly for convalescence - which has mostly been sold off. Full of houses now too
Don't think a helicopter would be very good today LP!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Have a good day
Heavy frost here, had to scrape ice off the car.
Hoping to plant some more tulips today.
Verdun I am thinking about some Pennisetum next year, which would you recommend that are likely to be hardy up North.
I received a download film of place in Artic where I will be staying. It was filmed in June, and still looked very cold.
Have a good day everyone.

Pdoc - I expect it all seems very real to you now you've seen exactly where you'll be next year

Lovely sunny morning, off out in the garden to make the most of a dry day.
Still no avatars just question marks
Thinking of you Dove.
Hope all poorly people are getting better.
