Back from gym and shopping, waiting for on-line shopping to arrive.
Bought another window propagator for annuals and a chew toy for Flynn but I'm a little bit miffed as I only buy the expensive toys that are labelled virtually indestructible and feel really robust, this one cost a tenner and he's already got an edge on it. Does my baby have like the meanest teeth in the dog world?
I don't know what else to supply him with as cheap toys don't even get past an introduction and I read that bones are bad for doggies.
Not sure I'll be in the garden today, the sun is desperately trying to burn off the cloud but I should really finish the DIY in the hallway.

It depends on the bones - marrow bones are fine - you can buy them pre-cooked if that's what you (or Flynn) prefer - and ours loved hide chews, pigs' ears etc - we got them from the pet shop back then but you can buy them online nowadays.
Rhubarb crumble (our first picking of the season) has been assembled and will be cooked this afternoon
Now just the bathroom to wipe over and then I'm going to get my seed box out and see what tomato seeds I've got (apart from the ones I've recently bought) ... does that make sense?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Wintersong: have you tried antlers? Reggie has had one for two weeks and barely made a dent in it despite his continued efforts but he goes through a 2ft rawhide chew in hours. Apparently antlers don't splinter like bones can (but my do they hurt if they get you in the ankle).
Pigs ears are also a good treat but they only last 5 minutes.
He's also not managed to destroy his kong yet: you can put treats (or a paste) inside to keep them busy. In the summer they're meant to be really good for putting frozen yoghurt in to keep everyone cool!
Frisbees are quite good choice with grandmas dog that gets a little destructive: he doesn't seem to be able to get a good enough purchase on it to destroy them!
Dove - your seed sorting makes perfect sense to me. I have a slight habit of picking up seed packets throughout the year which makes for an interesting time trying to work out why I ever thought I would grow so much ... wait we don't even eat cucumber.
I've just been watching a pair of bluetits popping in and out of the nest box at the bottom of the garden I've raked a good few handfuls of moss out of the lawn and bundled it up and tied it to a nearby fence - it'll be interesting to see if they make use of it. The robins are also in evidence today and a pair of blackbirds that I think are nesting in the back neighbour's hedge
Do you remember those free tulips we got in the Autumn of 2013? I was going to plant mine out into the front garden but my broken wrist put paid to that plan - the pots just got ignored - and here they come again

That is lovely Dove. Tulips are one of my favourite flowers
And thanks for the doggie chew advice from Dove and Clari, will investigate your ideas
Still wondering about the garden, if I got out there I will move a clematis because I have three already at the arch with a fourth ordered...is five too many? I could make use of this Alpina elsewhere, is it okay to move it as it was cut back last year after the arch fell down so its short and stout, just with fat buds?

I'm giving my freecycle garden shredder its first real outing to-day as it's forecast to be dry all day.
I hope it,and the knee hold up.
