So sorry fidget, how very sad for you all. Hope your MIL is not in too much discomfort, my very best wishes to you and your family, take care fidget and special hugs from me too xx
Afternoon all... So sad bout your tree chicky still think of something to do with the space... Fidget my thoughts are with you. Just been out for a mooch not in the rain my hellebore seeds are popping up very nicely, sedum cuttings doing great and one of my plants I really like ( can't remember its name but I has pretty pink flowers has self set loads of places.... Xmas tree down in living room ( just kitchen to tackle now) bulbs are sprouting up everywhere hurrah.... Now I'm on the Hunt for a variegated hellebore I'm liking pacific frost but am having a problem finding it anywhere.... The Hunt is on lol
Well found some seeds some pacific frost seeds and also got some astrantia sunningdale and BUPLEURUM 'BRONZE BEAUTY' which looks nice. I'm going to plant them all up as soon as they arrive and hopefully the cold will trigger germination .. Hurrah
Sorry about your MIL Fidget - dementia is a terrible thing -and it is so hard to explain to them what is happening and what is going on.
Sorry also about the tree Chicky, beautiful magnolia, i hope the tree surgeons create a great space for you and your magnolia survives.
Just extreme water logging here, and one of my roses was bending too much in the wind so will have to have some tlc if we ever get dry enough to do it - bad forecast for the weekend.
Sorry to hear your news fidget, and hope your tree gets sorted Chicky
Well I managed a few hours in the garden and feel much better for it. Chopped some bedraggled perennials back and cleared a few weeds. Next job which I have been putting off for ages is to clear some of the brambles in the orchard and then to strim it, but that can wait for another day.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Oh the power of the internet. I can sit in my break supping hot chocolate (the tea here is awful) and order myself a new pond liner (saving £182.55 which effectively buys me the pump and filter plus maybe a plant or two) for the garden pond design (revision six - now over a thousand pound cheaper to satisfy partners grumping about the needing a new kitchen).
Its all too easy.
I just hope my calculations are right and that it'll fit on the roof of my car (its only a short journey home at least). Volvo estates are fine beasties I do so wish I'd brought that nice 110 Land Rover!
Cleared up the greenhouse this afternoon, dead tomatoes and weeds all gone. Will wash it tomorrow.
Next job is to clear up the veg garden, amazing how many weeds have grown since winter started. It'll take a bit of time, it's 25 x 10 metres, but I don't use all of it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
