    Afternoon all.

    Had one of those lovely pottering mornings, no lists to work through, so just ambled about doing some weeding, potting up self sown seedlings and planting a few bits and pieces from the greenhouse.

    What made it all the better, was being able to do it in a T-shirt.

    OH is cleaning the summer house, it must really be summer.

    Hope you are all having fun too.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    We are thanks Pdoc image  I've been potting up and potting on under the sunshade on the terrace with GQT and now some Trollope for company, OH has vac'd out the car for me image (lots of crumbs from pasties eaten down by the harbour after visiting Maimage) and the robins have been helping themselves to mealworms on the terrace image

    Some lamb leg steaks are marinating in herby lemon and EVOO to go with a ratatouille for supper - I agree - think summer's here image

    Wonky - I've got too many petunias - I'll pot them up so they can grow on and you can have them next time I visit image

    Wouldn't call it fun as such Pdoc but I've got the 25+year old box out of the ground and a large conifer stump as well.  I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself, but a bit tiredimage.  Looking forward to just pottering in a few weeksimage.

    Shame about the car boot Wonky but your new plants look very niceimage. Loved the pics of Dove's friendly (demanding) robin.  Jo your purchases sound great - carvings and plantsimage

    Hope you have had a great day garden visiting Panda.  Photos please when you're readyimage.  Lovely pic of your visit chickyimage.

    Afternoon all image

    Sounds like the sun has got us all very busy but in the way we like image

    Great negotiations on the stones Jo!

    Congrats on the stump removal Lesley! image you must be pooped but triumphant! image

    Think one if us needs to start up a mealworm farm to supply Dove! 

    Watered everything, soaked the lawn, moved some stuff, planted other stuff, no space left!!!!image time to start filling pots for the terrace! image

    Showered the soil off, promising myself I won't go out there again today!

    .....well just to shut up the green house, honest !image

    Lots of potting on and up done - everything tidied away and a weak Campari and soda has been taken - now to make ratatouille, hummus tzatziki  and grilled lamb steaks  image

    I spent the morning repotting cacti for himself s conservatory next door. Then spent the  next hour picking out spines from various parts, despite wearing thick leather gloves. This afternoon i have reorganised the greenhouse, removing shelving to outside  and getting tomatoes tied in to their final positions. Work tomorrow.

    It must be pimms o clock by now.imageimage

    Hello all

    Went to Stansted garden show yesterday (near Chichester) and Katie from Youtube Lavender and Leeks had a stall so got to meet her and see her dad and mum talked about my plot and hers and I brought a few bits a crook, a string holding frame and some bulldog clips

    Had a good wonder around show buying a few bits (plant wise) a poppy red large and some more plants for my hanging basket, some coloured labels, a cool whisk and frying pan, also some cake  

    Found Fairygirl

    Been to the allotment today and cleared 3 metres of top growth still the digging to go, this is in a different area as I want a temporary bed for left over veg and flowers

    I added a Youtube video of my allotment plot if you want to see it - here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOOrnsXirpQ
