I'm still debating which to do KEF - lying on the settee sounds better but I think that's how I hurt my shoulder last night snoozing...kept me up through the night!
Only 27 as well...should be lithe and fit
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oooh and welcome to Hollie too - yes gritty and "free drainng" - that was my parents' coastal garden too - and they'd moved there from the clay of High Suffolk - they could never understand why their favourite roses struggled
If your dog likes walking on The Common, ask him to give my Aged Ps a wave - Pa keep an eye out for dogs and gives Ma a running commentary on their antics
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Fairygirl, I bought 2 island series canna this year. - Tenerife and Madeira. They were in 6 inch 1 litre pots, and I put them in big patio pots. I have been amazed at how many flowers they have had. Much more than the old ones I had.
I like them very much fidget but trying to look after them last year where I was temporarily living was hopeless and mine didn't make it. I got a Tropicanna Gold which is bright green and yellow with loads of new shoots for £4. I'll bring it inside if I need to. Would have got a few but I had to restrain myself!
Dove - I could do with one of those carts for the shopping- could send eldest daughter for it!

Dove - free draining isn't in it - roses struggle but I do OK with specie roses, those related to dog roses, eglatine, rosa rugosa (?) etc, they don't seem to mind pure sand!
We don't use the common much, the open marshes are more our thing. The dogs then get plenty of chances to chase the pheasants.
Well that was so much easier to find out what's what
Oh Morning All
Cold here, even the GH is not opening today and now it's started to rain. have just been outside to tie in some rambling shoots though - never know if I do it right or not but tbey seem to flower.
Been swimming and they took my blood pressure - it is now what it was when I was in my 30's - and i'm only 27!!!
Feel very pleased with it though real result
Waitinf for a tulip/allium ordeer to come then that will be it for the year, unless something falls into my hands when I'm out and about

Hi Pennie - good to welcome another newbie
Given where you're from, I take it your garden is something like this
or is it more like this ?
I take it these autumn rains and gales are unknown where you are and central heating is not needed

Lizzie that sounds good to me.
Holly010 cleaned the windows, I've only swept the floor.
As you can tell I'm not currently doing the HW. Must go do something but having fun reading on this thread.
Dove eek eek

FG perhaps we can persuade High School Students from Wisconsin to design you some equipment to make life easier
