Oops, it's me, with cap in hand, on my knees, walking backwards, offering profuse apologies for ignoring my posting duties. Sorry everyone , but life takes some funny turns sometimes and one gets distracted.
Garden is making progress, with great spring plants, especially camellias, magnolias, and narcissi... all every bit as good as in previous years. I am now paying for regular help to get some of the back breaking jobs done, including hedging, ditching etc. Vegetable bed is full of gladioli (don't ask!), with broad beans trying to find space.
Have an idea for the large bed at the bottom of my garden which I have fallen out of love with. I think I would like a large terrace for pots, troughs and seats, all looking back up the garden, and over the paddock where the sheep currently reside. Apart from that I still have some tidying up to do.
There is also the annual Plant Sale in less than 2 weeks, which is when the hortsoc tops up it's coffers for the year. Good news is that we are increasing our membership, and meetings are going well. Annual outing, to Waterperry gardens, is already at break even point. Last year we made a loss.
That's more than enough for now, and promise to do better in future. Have to admit that I don't have time to catch up on my homework and read all your wise words over the past weeks, so please forgive me if I am not on track just yet.
Evening all been well busy today and what a wonderful day it was to plenty sunshine got a big busy day tomorrow potting seedlings I have loads to do but I do look forward to it
Just a quick pop in, frost predicted tonight for S.Yorks, so close GH's and move stuff that is hardening off, if you don't have a GH.
Think all should check forecast.
BFN.
Thought it was getting chilly out there! Hopefully all mine are now fully hardened but we'll see. I guess it's what we get after such a hot sunny clear day.
Panda I hope your right, did you decide on plants for your new plant stand, is the solar light on tonight Hope you have a good day tomorrow too and all workers. TTFN x

Hello Woody - we've missed you love. Glad you're fine and garden is blooming. Some updated pix would be nice.
We'll forgive your absence- don't let it happen again though....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi WW, yes please, pics would be nice
Hi Woody, lovely to see you
Lily, your day will be great, I can feel it in my waters
Welcome back Woody - great to hear from you again. Glad hortsoc is going from strength to strength, and new garden plans sound v. exciting
My WW astrantias are flourishing, and will be let loose in the garden in the next couple of weeks
