more handsome, I should say. Its the blue t-shirt that does it
Today is the first skirmish of "battle of the brambles" .....secateurs, gauntlets, pipecleaners and SBK at the ready. Watch my back, I'm going in .......
Morning all, Yes Chicky, what are the pipecleaners for?
Verdun I hope you have had your frockcoat and three cornered hat spruced up for the occasion.
I loved the original Poldark, Ross was a bit of a dish and so was Dr Ennis.
Lovely and sunny here but still very blowy. Haven't got any gardening planned but I may be going out on a Snowdrop walk in Shropshire (if I can remember the name of the place) Oh yes Dudmaston Hall I think it is.
Mornings everyone, just popping by for a quick hello and to let you all know I haven't forgotten you. I hope you are all well. Spring is well and truly on its way now and I'm looking forward to plenty of gardening. The business is going well it just seems I am always busy, which is why I haven't been around.
My snowdrops and Hellebores are beautiful and crocus are flowering too
Good to see you OL - glad the business is going well
Pipecleaners are a tip from edd - a way of getting the SBK into the stem of the hacked down bramble without having to spray it on the azaleas that they are growing through. I tried it about 6 weeks ago, and the results are looking good - so time to tackle the main patch.
Pleased to 'see' you OL (can't think of you as SL yet). Glad to hear that the business is doing well and that you have found time to appreciate your flowers
Thought you had taken up pipe smoking chicky. Brambles are a pain in more ways than one so I will remember that tip for when the weather is a bit better and I start to tackle mine.
It's really windy this morning and there have been a few sleet showers. Spring is not quite here yet. A bit more pricking out on the kitchen table is my idea of a nice Sunday job. I'm reusing some old plant labels and the 'magic eraser' sponge is perfect for cleaning them off. Everybody probably knows that already but I'm feeling pleased with myself for finding out
Just had a tree surgeon in to look at some of the damaged trees, from the Boxing day snow. I have done all the bits I can do, but some of the trees need to come down completely.
I have had some very bad experiences with tree surgeons in the past, and have also looked after some of the resulting damage that can happen to the surgeons themselves.
This bloke seemed very knowledgeable, and will make me some nice log piles, in the wilder parts of the garden.
Have a lovely day.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
what a great start to spring. Can't wait to get started, saw good make potting compost at big blue and red supermarket 75 ,% off got 6bags can't resist a bargain. Will cost a fortune in more seeds It's meant to rain later so will be going through catalogue s looking for the best offers. Wish I had room for a heated bench like yours Hostafan .Enjoy the day everyone.
Morning all. Son, DIL and baby have arrived for lunch, to see daughter (and Granny me). Daughter's friend still here. She's lovely, very smiley, has emptied the dishwasher.
We are having roast pork with honey and mustard and apple crumble, like RunnyBeak, for pudding.
Raining. Wonder where DD is going, did she say? Did I miss it?
We watched the old Poldark last winter. Look forward to the new.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border

Clari, I built myself a heated prop bench in one of my polytunnels, the cannas are snuggled up in there.
I've sown the in those trays bedding plants come in. The size of half seed tray with 12 modules in each.
Dove glad you had a good sleep. What a difference it makes eh?
Lesley, am I the only one who knows nothing of the "magic eraser" ?
