Morning guys still drizzling here but don't have to go a watering
Now I'm concerned about the tomatoes you suggest blight might be on the cards Verdun. Outside ones are a path away from the potato bed so are they more vulnerable then there's the GH ones do you reckon if I keep the door closed and relie on the Windows only for ventilation i might get away with it. Don't talk to me about blackbirds feasting no gooseberry crumbles or strawberries and ice cream here they sing a lovely song though spose we can't have it all
Hope your w/e went ok Clari and your day out dove
Going to have a funny old day today cos rain stop play have a good wine all
We had a lovely day yesterday - waaaaaaaaaaay too much food at the picnic as usual, so it was all shared out and taken home - don't think I need to go food shopping for a week! The weather was kind to us and there was only one downpour and that was as we were packing up - we all crammed into our friends' campervan for the duration.
We didn't get back until really late (well, late for us anyway) and as OH doesn't work Mondays we'll spend a slow day today
This morning is damp ad overcast which is what is forecast for the next few days, until it starts to warm up for the weekend again
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Glad you had a good day Dove, so did we. Beth Chatto's garden was lovely, a damp garden with ponds and a dry gravel garden. But why did I think it would be bigger? Website said 7 acres but it didn't feel so big. Bought a very blue sea holly, a salvia I haven't seen before, a spirea with red flowers and Solanum Glasnevin. Then we went to another nearby private garden called Green Islands, where they do garden course days. Lovely too. I bought a lysimachia "Beaujolais" - Verdun's fault!
Then we went to Dedham, very pretty village, lovely church, and Flatford Mill where Constable painted "The Hay Wain". The heavens opened and we got soaked!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Sounds like your packing a lot in your trip BusyL! Hope your having a wonderful time!
SouNds like your foody picnic was fun and well catered for Dove! Bet OH lunchbox will be interesting for a while!athis is our second day of constant drizzle but its so hot I dont mind,
Loved all the work on the wall Lesley! And the hound looks playful! bet your having fun planting it all up and looking forward to the growth!
Freudian corrective text is funny PC! I still started with coffee tho!
Drizzle here too but gives a great excuse to spend some much needed time in tunnels.
Off to see the Boss Physio guy this morning to see what wonders he can work on The Knee!
Aching badly this morning after over 7 hours of deliveries without a single break all day.
Correction from last week. I've got 14 new hostas, not 16 ( I've already got 2 of them, oops )
Hey ho, one can never have too many. I bumped into the owner of " The Hanging Hosta Garden" in Hants, he told me they now have over 1,500 different varieties and over 120 different day lillies. I feel so inadequate .

Good morning
You managed to fit a lot into one day Lizzie
. You have made some nice purchases but remember you have to get your luggage in the car too
.
Glad your picnic went well Dove, apart from the downpour. I feel like having a quiet day too but there's little chance of that.
Hooe all the workers have as good a day as possible
Primrose I think midday will do for the wine
Morning all! Hope everyone had a good weekend,
