I was reminded today when cutting back last years dead growth (how I remember what's weeds and what's intended ) that it is a good idea to protect ones eyes No damage done but it is a bit sore where the plant pinged me
Won't need to buy bamboo canes this year, my fennel stalks from last year should do
Also hacked at the bramble that invades a part of my garden - forgot about the holly that gets swamped under it Why don't the plants I want grow as vigorously
Know what you mean Panda, I dug up a few Blackberry plants that had self rooted. Do have some down the very bottom of the garden, but don't want it all over the place
Just been to Sainsbury's to get Garibaldi biscuits and peppermint creams for OH's 97 year old auntie, but there weren't any. Does anyone know if they are still made and where to get them from please?
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Now the sun is disappearing (I'm sat in the lounge writing risk assessments - day off what not?!) It is definitely getting cold despite the warm laptop. I do however have Raynaulds Syndrome and am generally very cold blooded.
Unfortunately his lordship will not be content to have the heating on so as soon as is socially acceptable I will be under my "comfort" blanket!

Nothing yet Lily
Blackberry's are such swine - mine is from a plant that seeded it's self behind a Lilac tree that is unmoveable 
I'm sure you'll find something soon, the right ones out there waiting for you. Will keep my fingers crossed.
Still in your pocket if needed.
Had lovely lunch out with OH's friends.

Mrs. Garden, http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/talkback/anyone-done-any-gardening-today/590988-59.html
Is anyone else cold? Just been out to water the garden and it's really cold even though the sun is still out and it's a clear blue sky.
Heating turned up and fire lit. Brrrrrr
BL thanks.
