Morning everyone from Northern Ireland where its dry and not too cold yet. Hoping for a half decent weekend here to get outside and get things done!
Have a tub of hydrangea cuttings needing attended to, got dahlias to sort, some geums to pot on, begonia tubers to lift soon, Mums hedge to cut and a few more bulbs to plant - forgot I also had various alliums to do! Busy busy at home - watching the clock to get out of work!!
Good morning all, definitely cool on NW coast but it's dry No work for me today - yessss! So I'm going to hit the kitchen and do some baking, might try and get outside and do a few bits in the garden as well.
Cool, damp and miserable here & that's just me. Yesterday was a day spent "putting the garden to bed". It only seems like a few weeks since things were coming alive.
Both GH emptied and swept ready to house delicates & valued pots. Beans almost removed, a few stragglers left and I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. Courgettes out, last of shallots up. Two conifers had big haircut. Finally did plant my tulips. Compost bins had a good turn.
H broke shed window whilst doing some repairs..don't ask.
Trip to dumpit site today with conifers. Glass to buy. More beans to blanche. Should really do some HW
Morning forkers! Had to get my map out to find you all..
On holiday for a week now so hope the weather stays fine and I can get on outside a bit.
Only 4 degrees or so when I went to work yesterday. Sunny though not very warm with the wind. Cold and cloudy here today too. Will get grass cut later. Growing like mad with all that warm weather last week.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Morning all. Actually slept all night from 12 until 7.20. What a result! Bright, nippy day, not that I will be venturing outside.
Welcome to all 'newbies' to the thread.
Dove, do you loan your OH out? Yesterday, I asked Daughter for a favour and she might be able to fit me in next Thursday. Didn't comment. Perhaps when she then asked if I could child sit tonight, I should have said I can do it next week.
I'm like your OH MrsG. Can't be cold so have heating on. Not 24 hours yet though. Listened to what the top bods get paid this morning. Mind boggling. Head of BG gets over 2million pounds. Surely that can't be right. I think we need a revolution.
Early brekkie today and think I will start on the bathroom. Needs brightening up.
mind boggling indeed. I was offered £20 compensation for the 5 months of stress/calls/emails and the threatened court action from a utility co. and they owed me money. Where's GG's rant thread when you need it!
I was awake half the night which is why I'm late today. Fell asleep at about half 8 last night and when I woke at half 12 that was me for hours

Hello forkers. I actually started to write morning forkers until I remembered that today is the first day of the rest of our lives. I hope todays weather, cold and wet is not an omen. Actually put heating on last night. Its off again now but I am sitting here in multiple layers daring myself to put it on.
I really should be outside so many plants to move, dead annuals to compost and it will soon be time to lift dahlias and cannas.
I dont think my garden is ever put to bed there seem to be jobs to do all the time. Its ok when its sunny and cold but on a dark wet and cold january day I sometimes wonder why I garden.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Good morning all.
Found you all. 'You can run but you can't hide'.
Quite cold and windy today. The first cobeae bud has opened, lots more so I hope it's not too late now.
Hello Forkers. Good one Dove!

Has anyone grown Gerbera from saved seeds?
Have a good day all.

Are you starting the revolution then Tina?
Well, someone has to...
