    Thinking of you and your family Dove.

    Have been busy in the garden today planting new plants.  Off Nanna Duty now for a couple of weeks so plenty of time to spend in the garden if the weather remains good.  Lawn is being treated tomorrow.  Hubby has visited the tip and disposed of a mountain of garden rubbish.

    Thought you had been a bit quiet Bekkie hope you feel better soon.  Lizzie, Runny and Gemma hope bugs disappear soon, pity we don't have an organic spray to get rid of them.image

    Done a lot of pricking out of babies in the GH. Lots more to do though, especially petunias and lobelias.

    Hosta is this it? Looks great. I'd wondered about one, but then managed to get spare part for my tractor mower, which they've stopped making.

    think it will probably go off sideways though.

    Just returned from Ireland and caught up a little bit...  Dove - so sorry for your loss - thinking of you and your family as you work out how to break the news to your Mum.

    And still lots of poorly people!  I'm sure gardening is medicinal, KEF.  We'd all be much less healthy without getting muddy, digging out weeds and looking at those wonderful plants...  image

    I've spent a very happy week in Galway on granny duties.  image  A bit of gardening (it's a rented house so nothing radical will be done) including a visit to a local nursery to buy home-grown spring bedding to brighten things up.  My knowledge of the Winnie the Pooh stories has been polished up, and Peppa Pig and Thomas the Tank Engine have been thoroughly played with.

    The one-year-old generously shared her cold with me, but I expect to be out in the garden tomorrow, once I've visited Mum.  Kill or cure...  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Evening all.

    Lovely afternoon in the garden, quite warm eventually.

    Am off down to Doves neck of the woods for a couple of days bird watching.

    See you later.

    How can you lie there and think of England

    Like most people on here juggling lots of gardening tasks with everything else but beginning to see the light a bit now. 

    See you all later. image

    It's so lovely to see the hedgebanks full of primroses as I drive through the countryside at the moment.  Hope you see lots of them Pdoc - are you doing North Norfolk or Minsmere or one of the smaller reserves?
