Three hours sleep since 07:00 on Saturday morning and amazingly I'm still awake and working (editing images for Volunteers week next week). Tomorrow please tell me it will be sunny so I can get out in the garden and nap amongst the weeds!
I love that taxus Yvie, it's a real statement plant, I always admire a big one I trek past on the way to the GC
Bakery shifts finished for another weekend, it's been raining all day off and on but my takings are going through the roof so goodness knows what will happen when it's sunny I already give up my breaks and regularly stay late to ensure my customers get what they ask for
My focus needs to change over the next few weeks, need to start intensive driving lessons so no more sticky labels to distract me, just as well really as I want to see things develop when we finally do get some summer in order to assess those mistakes I can't live with. So far it's an iris in the wrong place and some smaller plants that would look better growing between other plants rather than as a lump
OH is overtired and grumpy so I'll sign off for now. Enjoy your holidays and trips to New York folks
Went to Wyevale on Friday got a free petunia - silver wave, free compost as well as had vouchers and also had money off vouchers to use, I got a bulk buy of bird food and plantlets of sweetcorn and cucumber - female plant
Spent a long time digging at the allotment Saturday
Today been volunteering at Sholing valley study centre was coppicing trees around the pond even in the rain me got really wet
Later weather dried up so managed to get some flower plants out - sunflowers are out hope they grow nice and tall, had to do a bit of teasel weeding first - seedlings seem to be popping up all over the place
Feeling very pleased that I got all my pots planted up yesterday, despite the weather. I eventually got out there, with my Grandma's words ringing in my ears ("your skin doesn't leak, does it?"), and it ended up being quite a nice afternoon. So I emptied my coldframe (only to fill it again very quickly), and now have a courtyard full of petunias, marguerites, salvias, lobelia and isotoma (plus an experimental nemesia, diascia and something else with purple bell flowers, to see whether the deer go for them). So summer, and the nightly watering routine, has now officially arrived. You heard it hear first.
Sunny here clari so up you get, make the most of the gardening time!
Always nice to hear what you've been up to GGirl
Chicky I want to get summer here too, got any to spare?
thanks Wintersong, much of the lost post was asking you about chicken wire, clem Montana and protecting the fence from damage (saw you used c wire on another thread).
Good morning everyone, planting and weeding on agenda today. More rain later forecast so plantlets have no excuse though a bit of warmth wouldn't go amiss.
Does anyone know how Cornwall got on in the rugby?
Good morning Mrs G, Woody and anyone else who's about
I think Verdun may know something about the rugby ... you could ask him
I went to bed soooo early last night, and had nine hours solid sleep - love the new duvet Now the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and fingers crossed I can play in the garden, at least for the morning
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I didn't hear him say anything, Dove......
Yvie, sorry about the knee - sounds painful! Hope you don't need to crawl around the floor too much when on Nanna duty.
I like Taxus 'Standishii' too - have one on my shady bank, breaking up the bulk of the shed behind.
just lost a long post so night all

Morning all - off to work in a moment or three so hope you all have a lovely day.
Any chance of some warmth here too? I'd like to stop having to put the heating on in the mornings...and at night
At least I got some seeds sown yesterday and the ironing done
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
