Isn't it wonderful - nearly 6 oclock and still light out there.
i had a planting frenzy - 200 snowdrops, some t-a-t daffs, my irises, some foxgloves and potted up some bareroots. GH move postponed for another weekend - OH welding new gates instead - look great. Off for a taxi duty in a sec, then an evening of GW mag i think. Might need a fire going - its a a bit parky
Mr and Mrs Mallard turned up today,to check for a desirable residence. They do this every year, but always go back to the canal or river. Magpies are collecting sticks. I guess its Spring. The first celandine is out. Today I have sowed seeds.split up sedums, made two brunneras out of one, taken cuttings off a variegated buddleja, and lamiums, and put a load of stuff through the shredder and on to the compost heap.
I've had a bath, put dinner in the oven and put my feet up. Have a good evening everyone.
Chicky - Ah, be lovely next year - lovely swathe of them. Looks like another bulb added to my list for next year then. When is the best time to buy them?
Omg it just lost my post!!!!! Evening all omg we have been soooooo busy busy today, we dug up x 3 veg beds and turned it into a nursery bed ( plus somewhere to plant the extra rhubarb
Then lugged the branch that I asked the tree surgeons if I could have from the woods. Dug up all the soil around the oak tree to break it up added compost and planted x3 astrantia( can't see them yet) x2 thalictrum( can't see them yet) 1x lady in red fern( you guessed can't see that) a plant I can't remember the name off Scottish lovage that you can't see a dicentra you can't see!!!! Now you can see the 3 phlomis the blue grass and the perennial fox glove oh and the 2 ascot rainbow euphorbia ( well we do live in ascot) oh bother I didn't plant any of the heuchera lol whoops ... Then sprinkled with wood chips...... Still heuchera! To plant as well as some more fox gloves and maybe even more astrantia we shall see......
Then after all that I remembered it was our wedding anniversary lol so we had Chinese !!!!! Still got the clematis to go in to climb up the tree aswell...... And I may get another few to grow over the fence including Nellie mosser verd!!!!!
Stacey, have you morphed into Gardengirl..? That's the amount of work she normally get through Am now feeling like the planting and weeding I did was nothing by comparison

Chicky - it is so nice the evenings are staying lighter longer. You have been busy! That's a lot of snowdrops to plant.
Alli - they went in in groups of 5, so not too bad
