What a fantastic day! Nice and warm, almost 28c in that placcy greenhouse this arvo! Totally overdone it again, dont feel too bad at the mo, thats possibly cos my blood is still full of chemicals! , my lovely nextdoor neighbour has offered to help me chop down some of the dead and dying conifers in the front garden on his next day off . Ive piled the garden rubbish literally just outside the front door so him indoors cant miss it
Yvie, hope you got all you wanted to do done, i was also fighting with an escallonia
Beautiful plant Matty, found one in a bucket i must have dug up last year, not a patch on yours tho hope you find your mug
Fritt, hope your wander round the garden revives you
Kef, it had me in tears too, but in a way im glad, i think Lyn would say the same, as you know, its soul destroying seeing someone you love suffering. Still sad tho
P'doc sounds like youve had a really nice day, ive noticed peaches and apricots almost in flower and my kiwi coming into leaf on one side of the garden, yet on the other side, the daffs are only just in bud!
Hope you found some motivation Gemma!
GB, that mash sounds yummy
Dove and Hosta, ill leave the cheese to you guys, never liked anything other than mild! Agree about best before dates except bread, only like it when its really squishy and fresh, unless its for toast
RB, my nan used to say the same about chicken, she was from Ireland too! What a fab day its been, hope you had the same
Hope its warmed up for you Lesley and SGL
Perki, have you made room for all those plants?
Youre right OL, enjoy the sunshine while its here, paperwork can wait
Just had a well deserved faux cheese and red onion sarnie yum yum
What a pretty chanomeles Matty. How about a white geranium for underplanting?
had another afternoon of mulching - have to say the bits I have done are looking very good for it - hope things grow good and strong as a result. Maybe one more day to get the top border done, then time to start the bottom one
Daffs are looking pretty good, and lots of scillas and chinodoxa now starting to flower ....plus last years forced hyacinths that I put in the garden once they had finished indoors. They are a much darker blue outside than they were indoors
The area is an approx triangle 2 sides 10ftish. In far corner of garden furthest away from house so really need big and bold so can be seen from house and makes a statement as they will have to compete with a beautiful oak tree
OH found my mug - on a bench but not the one I had been sitting on
All depends on how its kept i think hosta, ive picked up things in the supermarket which were well in date to find they were mouldy! Have also found that things i thought would last forever like packets of dry rice (that flavoured stuff) goes mouldy even when its kept in a dark, cool drawer!
Matty, how shady is it, would a rose survive? What about honesty?
yep removed some of the lawn to make room. took a while to get anything done today being in and out watching the football. The lawn got mowed as well today
Looks like everyone been busy today, meant to get cold next week so hopefully everyone got most thing done.
Matty, how about Crambe Cordifolia, Nicotiana Sylvestris, White foxglove, White Dicentra Spectablis or White Campanula Persicifolia. The foxglove would only be biennial but it would seed.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't been suckered into the whole " best before" nonsense.
Matty, how shady is it, would a rose survive? What about honesty?
that's my point Bekkie. do those who chuck things out at "sell by date" eat everything that's "in date" no matter how foul it looks? of course not.
Look, sniff, taste, seemples, no matter what the " best before " date says

very off topic, am I the only person who couldn't give a flying fig about Richard 111 being re-buried.?
I have to say , I've not heard a single person talking about it, apart from channel 4 who seem to have invested very heavily in it.
