According to Ma, my grandpapa would walk out of restaurants if the waitress had painted nails - they only painted them to hide the dirt .......... apparently
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

On the very rare occasions I've painted my nails my hands always looked dirtier than they did before I started.
Kef, Echinacea purpurea are not bulbs but herbaceous perennials.
I've had a funny day. Supermarket shopping first. Place heaving. My two for 7 quid book offer didn't come off the total so it will be a complaint tomorrow.
Next open polytunnel to find a blackbird appears to have been shut in for 36 hours and has been on a rampage, presumably looking for worms.two trays of leaves ready for cropping decimated, plants, pulled out of pots, trays of compost dug into. So after I had evicted him, replanted what I could and watered everything, I set to to fill the new herb bed. Seiving grit to put larger stuff in, mix with contents of compost heap, just some soil to go on top and plant. Now for a long soak in the bath.
Just caught up with the plant chat and Chicky's fencing and the naughty step drama and dates and cake and drooling...mmmm, cake.
Sunny enough for a walk about by late afternoon and discovered that my Iris are showing flower shoots for the first time this year. Its only a simple yellow Iris but a overgrown clump rescued from my parents house since they had stopped flowering in the shade. Been planted two years now, so its good to see they have returned to form.
Still behind with my seed sowing and running out of room in the veg plot really fast! not because I've planted much out yet, but all spaces have been allocated.
Have yet to finish landscaping entirely, but like others have mentioned, its work in progress this time of year
Potty have a lovely grubby fingered date. What? I didn't say anything wrong! Alternatively borrow pandas claws.
Kef, any news on GH? Oh and the thing with echinaceas is not to allow them to flower in first year ( see Verdun I do listen!), not that I'll get chance as my only survivor is a couple of years old and all the cuttings have metamorphasised into weeds!
OL still away with OH, wonder who's looking after her GH?

Have a good evening everyone.
Fantastic Edd!

- especially the s'market shopping
Cup of tea and a slice of brown bread and butter consumed. Had to come in because there was hailstones....
I was more or less done for the day anyway. Off for a look round
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It's been quite warm here this afternoon.I was working up a sweat, seiving grit. I might need a nice glass of sauvignon blanc to slake my thirst
Oh how lovely Edd!
