Forgot to say....played truant from work yesterday lunchtime to visit the Savill Garden. Beautiful wild flower meadows, and a rose garden to die for ....shame pictures don't smell
Oooooooo.....the error message when posting pictures has gone Thanks Daniel and the boys and girls
Beautiful chicky Your climbing rose sounds worth the wait but it really shouldn't be a worry about the variety being named correctly. Very often is though. I've has a trip to Morrisons and bought two lobelia fan blue and googled it to find care instructions. The Primrose site is offering a 2L pot for £110. Do you think they'll get many takers?. OK mine were smaller pots but at 2 for £3 my OH will be delighted with me.
Do you have separate distance and reading glasses Panda? I've gone for varifocals again but it was a bit of a struggle to get used to them to start with. Just be careful to watch steps, etc till you're used to them.
If you have a second to look in DD, good luck tomorrow and bet everyone loves it
Gosh Verdun - by the time we get some of those flowers out here it will be autumn. It sounds gorgeous. Hope your cousin is a bit better again today. It must be such a shock for him.
I had been going to say that you might run off with a donut factory owner but if the factory is local to you she'll be rich as well
Hello again folks I'm back from the GC and farm shop, and I think I've sussed the problem with my clematis HF Young. It's covered with buds but they've all turned brown and died. I gave it (and all the other clematis) their usual dose of FB&B early on, then the Clematis Food, but what with Pa's funeral etc I didn't realise that the very dry April meant that the fertiliser wasn't getting absorbed into the ground and picked up by the roots - the others have been ok but HF Young has lots of other plants around it's 'lower half' which will have kept any rain off the soil and I didn't think to water I've just bought a soaker hose for the shady bank and set that up so that they all get a good regular watering from now on, and will give HF Young a good dose of tomato feed. I looked for a straight soluble potash at the GC but they didn't have one, and I guess the tomato feed will be more balanced. I'll snip all the dead buds off 'cos they look horrid, and with a bit of luck and a following wind, not to mention a lot more tlc we'll get a second flush - cross your fingers for me folks.

Losing a child - I can't imagine - although in the past it has been my job and my privilege to sit at a bedside with a mother as she watched her firstborn teenage son pass away.
The funeral we went to yesterday was of a friend who died unexpectedly whilst at home convalescing from a relatively straightforward op, just three days short of his 45th birthday ... his parents and sister just looked shellshocked yesterday ... as indeed are we all.

Doesn't work for me Dove and I saw someone on the seed thread having similar problems. Weird. Hope the clematis recovers with your care. Right garden - here I come again.
