    Morning all.

    It's what we'd have called in Scotland " Dreech"  ( hard ch as in loch) Drizzly and horrible in other words.

    Might head to the polytunnel for a wee potter.

    Devon.
  • Morning all.

    Haven't posted here for a while, so thought I'd just pop in to say hello.

    Got lots of jobs waiting in the garden, chilly  today, so will start in the greenhouse, sow a few more seeds, until it warms up, hopefully.

    Have a good day folks.

    Hosta shame you've got our dreich weather but at least you've got loads of compost in the poly tunnel.  Hope you got the car extracted OKimage

    Sounds lovely where you live Gardeners Boyimage.  Can't remember the last time I walked on a beach.

    LilyP just have a little wander in the garden so as not to make your back any worse.  You don't want to end up flat on your back when your GD's visiting.  Bet you can't wait.

    Morning image 

    Looks like I'm even later image Haven't even had my cup of tea image

    Went out last night for OH's bday meal to one of the local curry houses - it was good food, and what topped it all off was that they gave us a card which means we can get 50% off our food bill for all future visits!! image I think we might eat out more often, well once we have a regular income coming in anyway image

    Lovely pic of your garden BM image

    Nice to see you Lovetogarden image

    Hi everyone,  We have dreich weather too, such a shame after yesterday.  Mind you I'll not be gardening today still a bit stiff though not as bad as last night.  Didn't get much sleep as grandaughter slept in our room in travel cot and kept shouting Out! Stuck! She eventually dropped off but then eldest grandaughter decided it was time to get up 6.00 a.m.  Needless to say I'm a little sleepy now.

    I would love to have horses at the bottom of my garden.  Never learnt to ride myself but both my children did and used to spend all day Saturday at the stable.  I find horses to relaxing when you stroke them and they have lovely muzzles, all soft and velvety. 

    Wouldn't mind living by the sea either, I'm sure a walk along a nice beach would help sort my back out. Do you think you can get it on the National Health.

    Friend coming round in about 1hr and we are going to the GC.  I must not buy plants, I must not buy plants, I must not..........

    We've been out in the garden since about 9am image  It's gorgeous out there, tee shirts and bare arms!!! image  OH has been wonderful - he's mowed both lawns, raked the gravel on the drive and emptied one of the big compost bins and mulched the whole f the Shady Bank and the Wilderness image 

    I've cut things back in the front garden (salvias, asters etc) and tidied some more perennials on the Shady Bank and started planting up the new bit of Wilderness - Lamium 'Beacon Silver', Cyclamen coum, and a Ranunculus ficaria 'Brazen Hussy' I found on the Shady Bank when we moved here.  I thought it had perished - I didn't see it last year - but just as I was instructing OH on the finer points of mulching I saw three little bronze leaves and exclaimed 'I've found a Brazen Hussy' - OH thought gardening had suddenly become more interesting image  Anyway, I've moved it to between the hazel bushes where it can spread and shine in the spring sunshine   image

    When I've had a coffee I'm going to plant my snowdrops image
