Major sleep in this morning OH says its because I'm busy everyday, I guess he's right
Still contemplating my last border to plant...it's in the purple and white garden so it's important to get the balance right between the colours which can include pinks and blues (so not that exclusive), but also how much will they be shaded by my growing sambucus. it's a baby at the moment but this will be it's third year. I guess the answer is to plant and see...there's always next year to move stuff
I've been out and filled the coffee lid with mealworms for the robins, and given a few pots a soaking - now my feet are up and I'm drinking coffee in my pjs - it was overcast earlier but the sun's burnt the cloud off now and it looks like we've got another lovely day in store.
'They' are saying we'll get some rain at the weekend - I hope so 'cos I've got to treat the front lawn with Evergreen whatsit to kill off the dandelions so they stop spreading seeds towards the neighbour's garden every time we're away for a few days, and the treatment will need watering in.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
OH finished weeding the 3 beds by the terrace yesterday ( he says he's enjoyed it!!!) so I had a sprinkler on it last night and to-day it's compost time.
Clari, good luck with the knee. I'm still seeing Physio and still not back to driving duties at work.
Wintersong, shouldn't worry too much about the sambucus, mine came with the house and I prune it every year to make sure it stays thinned out and not too tall. It does produce dappled shade but it's quite light.
Just planning to enjoy the garden today and maybe pot on a few seedlings if they need it.
I am going up to yorkshire for a couple of days with a friend to stay at her daughters. We have tickets for the Harrogate show tomorrow and then plan to visit Harlow Car on Friday (which will include a trip to Betty's Tearoom yipee!).
Off to make me a cuppa, I like to wander round the garden with a cuppa before I really start the day.
Just come inside for a hot cross bun and a cup of tea. It's lovely and warm out there this morning.
Have been weeding the borders and potted on my cosmos Daydream. All seedlings potted on now and not a speck of room left in the greenhouse.
My Canna Durban has started to sprout Yipee, just Shanandoah left now. Fingers crossed.
Have sent a couple of emails out to suppliers re none showing Agasache Blue Boa, Helianthus Lemon Queen and Geum Lady Strathenden. Will keep you posted re how I get on. It could be that I am just impatient but everything else is romping away.

Off to see a friend for a catch up, then in the garden for me.
Might have to mooch through all my GW mags for ideas for my front border.......anyone else got any thoughts
Hope your knee feels better soon Clari.
Have a good day Chicky.
Enjoy playing in the garden everyone.

Morning all.
Wall to wall sunshine again, this really is fantastic weather, things seem to be growing as I look at them.
Today must be a day of action, rather than observing.
When you don't even know who's in the team

Thanks Yvie
I do love when I get personal experience feed back, helps a lot more than google!
Enjoy your trip, I'm very jealous of Harlow Carr visit!
Just in for a cuppa while I sort heights of plants one last time before planting
Gorgeous sunny day, too breezy for T-shirt but its only spring
The sun's been hidden by some thick cloud again here, and it's turned quite chilly again - even indoors - I'm trying hard not to put the heating on
