Good morning, cloudy but warm. Huge amount of growth over the last few days.
the red broom is magnificent and only its second season, the three new philadelphus have finally started to grow and I think the sweet peas may actually pop a flower this week if the temps are to be believe!
need to go up to town for essential bits to take south to new baby but they have closed the road to the village for two days, detour will add on half an hour
Happy Monday Forkers

Hello again - just back from a dash into the city - OH needed to pick up some stretchers from the art supplier, so I bamboozled him into coming to John Lewis with me to buy a new printer/scanner and a food processor. The old printer died months ago, we don't do a lot of printing so we thought we'd go for a cheap and cheerful one Hewlett Packard @ £29.99 !!! It's not going to be the cheapest for ink, but at that price, with a JL two year guarantee how can we go wrong? The expensive ones we've bought in the past usually die just after the 12 month guarantee expires, leaving us with a load of ink cartridges we can't use And my food processor is beginning to fall to bits after 15+ years of heavy use, so another Kenwood Multi-Pro has been purchased and I can pick it up from the Waitrose in the village tomorrow afternoon.
Now all we have to do is set up the printer ... think I'll let OH play with that
I've got the soaker hose on the Shady Bank giving things a soaking - after lunch some big pots need moving and there's more deadheading to do - I need to pick and freeze some broad beans either today or tomorrow and the 100s & 1000s tomatoes need moving to their final pots. Oh, and the pond needs another dose of Sludge Control stuff ... busy busy busy ...

Morning all.
Looks like it's going to be a cracker here.
Gentle wind from due South .
Methinks the tan might need some work later.
Enjoy Monday one and all.
Good morning

Glad the day went OK DD and thanks Lizzie for the pics

Back to the grindstone. SYL.
Morning all
That's another plant for the list then .......
Like Lesley I don't seem to have much scent in my garden, although I am trying to rectify that 
Lovely day here too
A perfect day to strip the bed.... and this time I mean the one with sheets Fairy 
Morning all.
Beautiful day here too.
My phillywhatsit hasn't many flowers on it this year, any ideas why anyone?
Have a good day everybody.

Oooh ... yes there's tennis that has to be watched too .... I suppose I could pod broad beans while I do that ...

Thank you Verdun. No I didn't prune it last year
Do you mean prune it back now or later in the year?
