Just been encouraged to enter the local in bloom competition! Ain't got no blooms tho!!!! One month and counting! May have to sabotage the competition! a few well placed snails rehoused on a late night walk.....
Not too much damage this side of fence but other side very large oak tree came down taking half the one next to it as well. We have a large and magnificent oak tree on our boundary(not ours), It was swaying scarily yesterday but is OK, the one that fell fortunately fell the opposite way to 'our' oak, otherwise I would be here sobbing as my white garden would have gone
Trying to do the last bit of sorting in garden, planted courgettes and outside tomatoes, now trying to sort out flower seedlings. Not sure where to put sunflowers as the planned position is overgrown and I just can't do that at the moment.
Have been mostly resting, but did manage to cut the lawns, the garden looks so much better with that job out of the way.
Hopefully start planting the Dahlias out tomorrow and decide where the Cannas are to go. It can take me a day just moving pots around, deciding where to put them. I like to take my time over the planning.
Still a lot of other stuff in the greenhouse to go out, but if the weather is getting better, then that will be the fun bit.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Too much coughing resulted in a headache that kept me bed bound this morning And then my phone rang red hot! Had a Skype "interview" at 2 so had to be up and better Whilst getting ready a friend popped round, and then, just as the call was due round popped Ma and Pa! Ended up abandoning laptop as webcam wouldn't work and using Bernard Hurrah for Bernard Fingers crossed I get a real interview
Pa mowed the lawn So now the garden looks neat Pa's are the best Ma's are jolly good too, she did the washing up

Fingers crossed for your damson tree and toad Jo. Is it safe to come out of hiding yet?
The garden had started to dry out a bit, then it rained, now it's sunny again

Good luck with the physio Hosta. Hope it's not too painful. What a lovely Dad you are

I have just washed OH's bowling shirt which has mysteriously turned a delicate shade of pink

RB....Sorry to hear you have come back with a bug, hope ghd bargains at GC made up for it! I will mail you later,
I love white hydrangeas, I cant grow them here, they turn a lilac/grey, then eventually grey/blue. I am in the process of digging them out.
Dare I ask Hostafan what happened to the b***dy squirrel, (best not mentioned) I will mail you later to see how you got on with physio.
Weather settled down a bit but not warm it was only 9.5c here yesterday. Thankfully wind has died down a bit.
Just off to pot on two doz lavender seedlings, s*ds law they all germinated.

You'll have to show them a Before and After picture, along with dates. And we'll have to get some pots, bags of compost and some bedding plants

Afternoon all.
Turned out nice in the end.
Have been mostly resting, but did manage to cut the lawns, the garden looks so much better with that job out of the way.
