Glad the sale went well Woody - plenty of pennies for the hortsoc coffers. I hear Ggirl did her bit for the cause!
Sounds like a productive day in the garden for some - very rainy here, so didn't matter that I was at work. Car broke down this morning - minidrama - but nice man from the RAC came and fixed it, so I was soon on my way.
What colour hanging thingy did you get in the end Fidget?
My hanging thingy is fern green. The door will be following on in two weeks. That means I have the joy of waiting in for fedex again.
OH reports the ducks on the canal all have ducklings. Our mallards are still wandering around the garden, the drake following the female around. They like the new duck food. I suspect she is not planning on any egg laying duty soon.
Do ducks eat tadpoles? We had lots of frogspawn, and usually there are lots of tadpoles, but i cant see any this year.
Evening all. We got back from our week in England last night.
See it's Tracey OL's birthday today. Hope it was a good one.
I haven't read back on this thread yet but I have posted photos on Garden Gallery.
We had a good week visiting Canterbury, Oxford and London with French friends. Went to the Savill Garden in Windsor Great Park, just with OH. Of course that was the day it poured, Friday. Think we were the only ones there, but they lent us umbrellas. Lovely garden.
Unfortunately, I got a sore throat the morning after we arrived which turned into a feverish cold, so wasn't feeling as well as I would have liked. On Wednesday friends and OH went to London for the day and I stayed in bed in hotel in Windsor. At least the weather was quite mild, much better than it had been here in SW France, cold and wet here.
Housesitter did a good job, animals, baby plants in GH, and garden are all well.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Been in garden for a bit today in the rain digging over 2 veg beds and planting out peas I have sown in one bed and in the other broad beans from Woody - ones he grew - I have now sown some more peas in my row planters
Mrs Garden the plants in your pic are sweet peas in the trays - here is my sweet peas I have pinched them out and they growing ok
Here is my bright coloured pots I wanted to plant up
and thanks to the Woody's plant sale I got some plants and planted them up with matching colours
This pic is my new planter at the back from homebase and planted up by me and the one in the front I planted using plants from the WW plant sale

Here you are OL - Happy Birthday
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
and happy birthday from us
I've just been out on the terrace watching Hefty Hedgehog - he's snuffling around the pots after beetles and weevils

Lovely Dove, thank you

Hello forkers,
Been in garden for a bit today in the rain digging over 2 veg beds and planting out peas I have sown in one bed and in the other broad beans from Woody - ones he grew - I have now sown some more peas in my row planters

Makes me smile
lots...
