I like it Dove, but sadly it doesn't stop the weeds coming
Btw, feel the loss of sun is my fault, bought a string of solar lights for the garden that need 3 days to 'charge' before I can turn them on. And lo, the sun disappears
Happy with hair now KEF but it will look like a haystack by tomorrow morning. How do you mange to go for a year Beaus?
Just got the latest GW mag through the postbox. How many do you have to look through lily? I reckon I've got about 4 years worth.
Enjoy your mini holiday Yvie. It sounds great
Happy Mulching Day Hosta.
Hope you get your heights sorted Winter. When I looked at the seeds I bought they are mostly the same height so next year the height planning must come earlier.
Sorry about your sun Dove and Panda, we are holding on to it for a second day.
Hi folks.. I've been reading back last couple of weeks as I've been away, wasn't aware of Dove's loss when I started posting again, my humble apologies Dove, and God rest in peace (with a sausage roll). I had to say on reading about your kids being excited about gardening,, and what it meant to you.. it drew a tear to my eye, just as it did to my father and mother's when they saw me take up the battle against pests and trouble, to TRY to grow something be it veg or flowers and be as proud as you can.. It really is like a calling to arms, and I personally can't wait to see my two daughters declare war like we have, it's almost tribal!!! My two daughters are constantly on at me to be out planting or weeding.. honestly, who needs a work diary? Anyways, I think too little is taught about the benefits of growing things you can eat and how it works within the grand scheme of nature.. Most kids in cities think carrots grow in supermarkets..
Case in point, a friend of my eldest daughter at age 6 said to me, what are you doing? When I said growing tomatoes etc, she said 'but you get them from when mummy goes shopping' . I will say though, she really enjoyed the sungold I served her and also the lettuce and spinach and beetroot shoots for her dinner. My kids already know the difference between homegrown and supermarket, it takes not huge effort, even in cities. I'm going to do a talk and give away all my 'extra' seedlings at my youngest daughter's play group..
Anyways waffling away, enjoy this weather while it lasts, it's brought all them seeds on a treat, it's just finding the space now!!!
Excited here as I have been mentioned in 'forum' in latest GW. I know you all often appear but I don't. Have told children I am famous
Went to B&Q and chaotic - all of you who have a Diamond club card, they are replacing them with new ones - dozy here cut up the new card instead of the old one
Envy here - Harrogate Show and Harlow Carr oooh!!
Off out to take more advantage of this lovely weather
Does any one have any thoughts on Arum lillies. I know they don't flower all through the summer, but I've just been for a walk and seen a lovely display in someones front garden.
Also just had a quick flick through this months GW mag and seen the white cosmos...Purity on page 43....quite like that too.

Funnily enough Dove, my sun has gone too
Hosta, can I borrow OH? I have a lot of weeds so he'll be suitably entertained

P'doc, I too need to do less looking and planning and take more action

Just in for a spot of lunch and a little respite from the sun, who would of thought I would be saying that in April?
Morning of dividing and moving, trying to get repeating patterns in one of the borders.
