    No invite round Lizzie, but I wouldn't have wanted one to be honest, I only stay up that late on very very rare occasions and then only with people that are worth being tired for image

    Chicky, that wall and the new bed are fantastic, wonderful planting opportunities.

    Been warm here today, so have managed to get a fair bit done, why is it that weeds grow quicker than plants?

    OL at Morrisons they usually sell the black buckets that they have had bouquets in, look under flowers shelves for them. Other SM might do same. I've had 10 for a quid. Need drainige holes, but cos not tough you can pierce bottom with scissors and make a holes You'll need something that size for Aubergines, when they mature..

    Fairy hope you aren't worried about little fairy " on tour " if she's like you she'll be fine.

    Lizzie put the music on, so you don't miss OH's singing & chat to us image

    Best go attend meal.

    By the way I am posting on here and not gardening ! As I'm tired out after grass cutting for 3 hrs and jobs done here, whilst OH has been busy with a saw & loppers & shredder. This is my leisure time imageimage Not a big issue but some will know what I mean image

    Chicky, that looks great, love it!

    Had a nice trip to Nostell Priory, really good play area next to the veg and rose gardens. Lovely wlak through parkland, by the lake, gorgeous bluebells and those white things (onion type can't remember). Nice soup and sandwhich too, didn't do cake...Best thing however, as soon as we walked in  there right in front of me was a couple of plants stallsimage well, it'd be rude not to... got a salvia oceana blue...which hopefully is hardy as it states on the label, sure someone image will let me know.

    Enjoy the rest of the hols everyone.
