  • Evening everyone, seems you have all had a busy day? Glad wonky that flatface is ok and hasnt noticed his missing bits....yet! image

    Just been shuttering everything down here as storms etc tonight plus rain next 3/4 days. Garden needs it but dont know how the outside tomatoe/courgette/ pepper plants will do image.

     Have covered tomatoes/peppers with there usual covers (plastic with holes) & hope when i wake, they be fine.

    Is anyone watching Springwatch?.... I found, what i thought was a snake when checking my garden for slugs 2 nights ago. The snake which now has been pointed out as a Slowworm was found in my compost heap and im very glad as it seems it eats all the slugs image. Dont want to sit on one though. I have taken a video so shall post once i look it out.

    I think I could do the zip line. After all,  I walked all around ayers rock and climbed the sydney harbour bridge( with the aid of a lot of ibuprofen). Its parting with fifty quid that I could spend on plants that's the problem.

  • Found the RHS plants and flowers book mentioned last week and only 1p on Amazon says it will arrive Thursday imageimage my readers digest which is looking all of its 40yrs+ can be retired to the bookshelf it's been my gardeners friend since my very first garden.

    Loads  more on the site could easily get carried away but if anyone has a good recommendation I would be easily swayedimageimage

    Morning everyoneimage

    Looking forward to a talk by Stephen Lacey tonight on scented plantsimage (Can't find a smilie with a big noseimage).  

    before that though, another day at those pesky mines.  Can you all stop using salt, its getting hard to keep up with demand....image

    Good morning Chicky and any/everyone else image  Sorry about the salt Chicky - it can't be us - must be those others - we don't use much here - the doc says it's bad for me.  Have to have some on dippy eggs tho'. 

    Very noisy magpies in the back garden!  They'll be waking OH up at this rate, we'll get an even earlier start to our day out than envisaged!!!

    Good morning chicky and Dove and those to followimage

    Eggs certainly need a bit of salt but if I use a little bit less you won't have to work as hard chickyimage.  At least you have something to look forward to this eveningimage.  I can see a plant list materialising after the talkimage

    Another lovely morning here and the birds are all in full voiceimage.

    Runnybeak - the vets don't seem overly concerned and think that he might have ibs but I'm pushing for more tests to make sure as nothing seems to settle things down. Well he slept through the night comfortably I just need to start warming up to lift him through the vets door.

    Dippy eggs! Haven't had those in a while!
