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....

    Sorry not been here.

    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.image

    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.

    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.
  • Its raining again!!
