    Hello all, try to catch up with everyone first.....Verdun, so glad your mum is on the mend and almost back home, good for your for taking her to church, I'm not particularly religious but find being in a church can be quite calming sometimes.

    Mrs Garden, I can empathise totally as my MIL can be a proper PITA and I have to bite my tongue, but worse for you with your little man being a but more vulnerable than my 2 who give as good as they get image

    Hello WW, nice to see you again image

    I must admit, I've just been out to the GH and it's down to 6c already and feels very chilly out there, might have it put the fire on.  I'm in a total dilemma with what to do with which plants at the moment......which ones to keep in, out, in the house, in the GH....my mind is full again!!

    Cleaned all 3 sinks, took most of the day and touched them up with ceramic paint and they actually look quite good but will look better when full tomorrow.  Didn't get to the GC, didn't get my chillies and marigolds repotted, didn't get my sweet peas in, didn't get my privet root out.......never mind, tomorrow is a new day image

  • Evening all.

    Lovely pics Bill.

    Will be expecting pics of sinks Orchid lady.

    I drove down to Devon today- quick stop at fuchsia nursery on the way. Got some whips to try growing standards again this year.

    Too busy cuddling my lovely little granddaughter since getting here.

    Have a great day tomorrow all image

    Looks good OL image 

    Lily, light is on, planting decision not made yet. Thought about morning glory going up the legs/ arms. Otherwise am unsure image

    Thanks Ol, son did put himself between us with arms outstretched to stop us, well not me as I said not a word! Told him she was tired and grown ups forget not to shout. Will look at bench tomorrow, I was after one on amazon or ebay last year so will look that up too for price etc

    Hope all plants cosy and mr frost skulks off without doing any harm.

    Nice to see you Woody.

    Night everyone, catch up tomorrow but busy day expected.

    I've got some Morning Glory growing Panda, but only 4 have germinated, they were T&M free ones though so not surprised, I have ordered some deep purple ones to sow too image

    My morning glory also slow to germinate despite soaking before sowing. Night again.

    That doesn't bode well for me. . . growing from seed was a disaster for me last year image Was hoping to just sow them in the pot I wanted to grow them in image

    The 5 that have germinated have grown loads in the last few days, obviously true that they are fast growing climbers.  Are yours T&M too Mrs Garden?  I soaked mine too, a few were all gooey, so I just chucked them on the garden (a bit of me hoping they may just do their own thing!!) But I still sowed about 10 image

    The ones I have on order I a going to sow where they are to grow I think Panda, it just depends how quickly they come, if they arrive tomorrow I may sow them indoors to give them a head start (it gets warm up here later than down south!).
