BL, you really are a trooper cooking for so many when you are ill! Hope you feel at least a bit better tomorrow!
Dove, you may joke about an internet virus, but a lot of us on here seem to have it! Maybe you should have coughed down the phone at that scammer!
Think im over the worst of my cold, it has however, left me with a huge coldsore which keeps cracking and bleeding, my OH had to wipe a trickle of blood running down my chin from it (i dont do blood!), thats love for you!
Nice jumper Chicky/Chicklet,i hope the weather holds out for you to get in the garden tomorrow!
Good for you Verdun! When do you get your posh new car? and most importantly what colour will you choose!
Panda, maybe you need a little tipple to warm you up, purely medicinal of course
GG, im well impressed you and some of the others have got seeds coming up already, i havent even planted anything yet!
feeling a little sheepish as I've not been around for most of the winter, bet I'm already forgotten!
Love the panda jumper, and belated birthday wishes to Kef - that's about all I've caught up on, sorry.
Ive hardly been in the garden since September, not managing to get everything ready for autumn and overwinter things.
had a knock at the door today from a couple of men offering tree service, unusually for me I said yes and am pleased I did as they did a fairly good job, but mainly it meant I got out there. And loved it!
I Chopped, raked and tidied - as they gave 5 conifers a what for, a good tidy of the 2 apples ( I don't mind loosing the fruit), and best of all got rid of the huge poplar tree remains ( it died and fell probably 18 months ago).
Will put some photos on tomorrow so you can advise on their work - apples look ok but not sure techniques were correct - no thinning out, shaped outsides only, didn't seem to concentrate on removing the middle branch of a group ( not that I especially know about this but it's somewhere in my memory...)
Hoping you are all well and looking forward to spring!
Hi Mrs G ! , good to "see" you, i think a lot of us have felt like that over the winter, i dissapered for a bit too, maybe we are all still more in tune with the seasons than we think! Glad youve had a good day in the garden
PD - had a quick look back - did you really have snow today? Or are you not home / moved house? I've seen nothing but sunshine today and I'm not far from you but I do know what deception distance can make!
verdun and PD - lots of car talk but haven't got to the nitty gritty of what it's about! I feel compelled to add my car experiences for you - new car arrived last night, current car sold and driven away this morning. cash paid into bank this afternoon. Loved, loved, loved my car and was sad to see it go, the new one is not as loved but a 'better' car and a good deal was had!
Its been like christmas here today. A big parcel of raspberry canes, another parcel with a couple of hundred bulbs in, and a pot chicken on a basket I bought for my egg lady. I potted up the eucomis and crocosmias, ready to plant out later. Double freesias for mum. Gladioli to go in between broad beans. Too cold to plant out raspberries so i did the potting in the greenhouse and came back in.
I'll put my thermals on tomorrow, and plant the raspberries.
You can keep the snow up there, I don't want it.
The mini polytunnel I bought last March has holes all over it. I phoned the manufacturer and they said it should last two full seasons. Well it didnt. Mind you, no quibbles, they are going to send a new cover. I suspect by the speed that they gave in, its a common problem. Only problem is , they are out of stock until march.

Hi Bekkie, keep whacking the Zovirax on that cold sore, what a treasure of a OH!

Hi Mrs G, good to se you back.
Yes we really had snow, and hail, and rain, and some sunshine, oh and it was also windy and freezing cold.
Planted out some more Box blobs, to add a bit more structure, to some of my "looser" planting.
Seeds starting to germinate indoors, which as always is a thrill I hope I never get tired of.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Didn't go out bekkie, bit a wimp.....too cold and it rained this afternoon and now the snows gone
Mrs G! good to see you, I've missed you, hope you're well.
Hope all poorly peeps are feeling better.
