15` and wet in Sheffield. Not been in garden today. Gym this morning and then watching my beloved Spurs this afternoon.
Weather here for next week looks dire, but lots to do so will be getting wet.
I grow a fair few cannas here. I lift them about now and put them in pots which i store in the porch. I then start them early in February in the pots in the living room [ drives OH nuts ] I usually plant them out early June.
Chilerns seeds sell canna and they are fairly easy from seed but do need plenty of heat.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
GH empty (ish) - mission accomplished. At GC earlier two schizt**%#* (kaffir lilies in old money) jumped into my basket - very nice dark pink flowers to keep the border going that bit longer. Pure luck, but it tones in well with my sedum autumn joy- i shall tell everyone it was a deliberate "association"
Looked at pyracanthas in my search for red berries, and found a variety i like, but they only had it in a huge fan trained specimen ( with huge price tag to match) ..... Will keep looking.
I've just had a vile meal. H had a lovely one. Slow roast lamb, virgin olive oil, lemon. oregano. garlic & white wine. Due to sulking gallbladder I can't pore the "juice" on my meal, so small amount of juice added to usually a few Bisto reduced salt granules. Bought Morrisons' own reduced salt..absolutely vile..put my meat & veg in metal colander and poured boiling water over it, still vile. No Maltesers to fill up on. Looks like being a slice of toast later.

Still fairly mild here Verdon - Sweet Rocket is producing a third flush!
But overcast now and damp.

I've been looking at pyracanthas Chicky - which one have you got your eye on?
