    Sounds a great plan Verdun, pity we Provo my won't see before and after pics knowing you, we'll just use our imaginations instead.

    Never mind man shed Clari , my mrs g lovely girly gorgeous garden arches arrive on friday, whoo whoo. Hope OH enjoys his shed and lets you have some peace, he might just not notice an extra GH arriving while he's in the shed!

    Glad you had a good day dove.

    BL what a lovely pic, captures a wonderful moment, family and blubell combination.

    Panda, sounds like a good day at work, hope your smiles up to it.

    woody, I've got hundreds if self seeded alliums (well that's what I thi k they are!). Left them alone until last week when really needed to dig bed over, so potted them up, what should I expect them to do? Flower or not while next year? Over winter?

    Oh btw morning all! Must get out of bed...

    Love heleniums too - only have two varieties, but they flower for ages in my reddy/orange bit of border.  Moorheim beauty and Sahins early, for those who like particulars

    Still in bed too Mrs G image.  Although have been for a GH check and garden wander.  Then came back to bed, which is probably even worseimageimage.  Still, next week this forker will be back to her 6.30am posts, so might aswell enjoy whilst i canimage

    Nearly ready for breakfast now chicky. Then we will go and get my mum and visit the farm at sons request. There's also a fishing lake, ducks and an old but still used mill nearby, just depends what mums legs are up to today.

    Morning All image

    Welcome back Lizzie, sounds like you had a lovely time and a great pic image

    Panda, have a good day.

    I'm determined to get through my garden things to do list today, starting with the removal of the privet toto which is stopping me doing anything at the end of the established border!!  Need OH's help on that one.........which is why it hasn't got done. image

  • Morning all,

    Like you Chicky making the most of not having to be up early.

    Dove have something nice to do to treat yoursef when paperwork has been done- a sit in the sunshine if nothing else.

    Verdun it would be so good to see pics of your garden.

    Sorry to those of you stuck inside today image

    Everyone else enjoy the sun image

    Mrs G - Oh he'll notice the extra green house appearing! For starts he's "agreed" to lay the paving slabs (about 50 of them in total) so that I can rotate the current greenhouse by 90 degrees and have them side by side (means less glass will be on view from the house). He's also decided that when he lifts the paving up the length of the garden to install electricity and internet to his Man Shed he'll use these as the green house bases and put new ones down the path so they match the ones that poke out from under his shed. which at least means that he wont be able to put the Green Houses off too long (although I'd happily wait until the frosts are over as once we dismantle the first to prepare the areas my chilli's and tomatoes will be rather prone) as its in his best interest to get the electricity up there so the kettle can be installed!

    The chaps arrived to deliver and assemble it at 08:30 this morning and my last update about 20 minutes ago was that the roof was almost on.

    Your arches are arriving on Good Friday? Looks like we know what you'll be up too over the Easter weekend!

     

    Can anyone recommend a company to hire a Rotavator from? At the moment its looking cheaper to buy a second hand one than hire something for the weekend.

    Clari, we are lucky as BIL works for hss(the yellow logo) and we get such fun equipment from him for free! Still waiting for him to organise a chain saw though, him and OH don't seem to realise it'll have to wait til leaves have dropped again if they don't get a move on! Not really, it's mainly for the dead tree but did want to cut budleias right back and tackle the apple trees as well.
