I have a buds on all my three Mecanopsis that I bought last year If they flower my gifts from Pdoc surely will, maybe not this year Hold onto your hats KEF is going for the National collection
Love the geese pic LirI - nearly as much as I like the one of Newman and Redford
Nice to hear of all the new plants and gardening that's been going on with you all. Can't wait to see what's popped up in my garden (apart from weeds) while I've been away but will be a few days yet.
Mum was allowed out of hospital today so is very happy to be home. I'm happy not to have to do the journey to Aintree again, especially this weekend when the Three Queens event has been happening in Liverpool. Nothing to do with Lily Savage - the cruise liners. The traffic has been a nightmare.
Chicky, they are autumn sown Sweet Peas, been in a cold frame all winter before planting out.
Dahlia "Bishop of Landaff" isn't hardy here and now they don't sell it any more in the GC so I've lost my three. But the "Bishop's Children" that I sowed from seed are hardy, so is Dahlia "Park Princess", "Arabian Nights" and "Pooh".
I've been mending electric fences, putting horses in a new paddock (happy bunnies) and planting out pots and troughs.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Roast pork and all the trimmings on the way
Verdun, that sounds like a lovely job well done

Newman & Redford - nothing to match them is there?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
