    Hello everyone image Looks like everyone has had busy days, read most of the posts but can't quite work out what KEF has been up to image

    Lovely planter Panda.

    Have a fab night Potty (you are probably already out by now).

    Well, I had a fab night, my favourite hotel was even better than ever, the meal was delicious and had a lovely potter around Grasmere yesterday afternoon.  The only downside was leaving fairly early this morning as it was the last away match of the season and I said OH could go to Wigan, On the plus side my boys went too so I have had an afternoon of peace in the garden image

    Got loads done.  Attacked the dreaded weed in my veg patch, pulled up loads of roots so hopefully that will keep it at bay for a couple of weeks again image

    Then re-potted tomatoes, courgettes, chillies, Cosmos and all in the GH (oh, except chillies), it actually resembles a very full GhH now and I have had to take my thinking chair out!!

    My perennials also arrived from T&M so I have repotted all those too, also in the GH.

    When he got back big boy helped me saw a pallet up to make a platform for my tomatoes, it's all coming along nicely.

    Just off to pick up little man from a party and then off for a soak and wine while I await for OH to stumble in image

    She's at Mcbusted - and i am now happily ensconced in Starbucks at the o2 - with carrot cake - can't be bad !  She should be out about 11ish and then we start the battle to get homeimage

    Sounds like you had a great time OL - love the lakes, but rarely get up there any more.  Used to have an Aunt who lived inBarrow, who we stayed with alot.  How were your 48 perennials when they arrived ?  Mine are growing away well - especially the geums

    The perennials were ok Chicky, not at all how I expected but then I have never ordered plugs before.  I have put them in one of those seeds trays with individual cells for now, partly because I have run out of bigger pots and needed to put them somewhere, I expect I will need to pot them on again next weekend. I thought the way they were packaged was quite cute image
