My god such wonderful gardens and plants. Wish we had the climate and soil here to grow such wonderful plants. Our planting is very basic but then you get these little beauties in Early May after the heavy winter and then it makes
Morning all. It's a beautiful sunny morning here, the heavy rain is predicted to arrive here on Saturday just in time for my daughters party.
Yesterday was spent having a good clear out of the conservatory in preparation and I found 3 packets of seeds that I missed when I sowed in March. That'll teach me to put them somewhere safe and then forget about them.
Congrats to your chicklet landing a job straight away Chicky. My youngest isn't 16 yet but is chomping at the bit to get one now exams are over, lots of her friends have been looking for a while with no luck.
Well my mug of tea is empty so I'd better crack on and get the kitchen floor mopped and empty the dishwasher.
Perfect Job for Chicklet Chicky! Any chance you can get one of the other sprogs to work in a cake shop?????
OH gone back to work today, strength returning and stubborn attitude nearly completely back! Dove, Panda, and Clari's stern eyebrows....I may need reinforcements!
Think I may hear that my job has come to an end today, so a bottle of honey brandy on standby just to interesting up a coffee or two and take the edge of my worry and panic! Hated the job anyway but....honey brandy is lovely! And medicinal!
OMG dachalover, that's a late spring in Moscow. I guess the snow has only just gone.
Cloudy here. I was hoping the biggest rose in town would be out for next weekend, but it doesn't look like it. Roscoea cautleyoides kew beauty has opened its first flower. Red ghurka shows no sign of breaking hibernation yet, along with my hedychium and most of the cannas.
Well, I'd better get on, dahlias to plant, nettles to remove.
Got to go and sort out the pesky moles ...or krots as they are known as here
Won't tell you what they're called at this address - would get shunted off the forum
Morning all. Have been reading back - exploding dogs, lucky cats finding caring people to look after them, people ending jobs, people getting jobs (in a GC - think of the discount - how expensive could that be??), people looking for jobs - and lots more besides. You have all been so busy.
Off outside now before it gets too hot and muggy. I have lots of plants to put in the 'woodland border' (sounds grand - just means a few trees and shrubs - LOL) but we have had no real rain for weeks - so the ground is way too hard and dry for planting - will have to concentrate on other jobs instead.
Had an excellent garden club trip to Peter Beales Roses near Attleborough this week. They have done so much work there - a completely different experience to my last visit 4 years ago. They will have lovely display gardens to rival David Austens in a year or two. Excellent value - coffee, cake, raffle for a rose, demonstration of budding, guided tour of the gardens & 10% off all plant purchases - all for £4. I think we will go back in a year or two when the gardens have matured a bit.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Wowzers! Moscow! ???????????????????????? Dachalover (I did learn Russian at school but had to cheat to get the alphabet )
Claws are done for the weekend Looking forward to visiting Woody - Gg. will you be able to make it? Really would love to meet you too Good luck with the tidying Woody
Ha ha , ??????????????...... it's not just the krots .....as it is a holiday here we are also doing a spring clean of the garage with all the mouse droppings from the winter.....hope no one is having breakfast .....the reward will be shashlik later

Lovely picture Dacha, some of my favorite flowers and scents all in one place!

Fidget - my Kew Beauty has sort of blotchy leaves - is that normal?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
