I'm supposed to be in the veggie garden, but I got rained on. Prepared ground for seed sowing, more peas, beetroot, carrots, fennel, spinach. Come in for a mac and the loo.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Very annoyed and depressed this afternoon due to some idiot not just crashing into our fencing but keeping the gas peddle down and ramming through a tight turn to leave my fence post almost fallen over
We already had the winter storms to content with that blew some newly installed fenceing down and the repair man trampled all over my plants to do the job correctly, but the plants were small and it was winter so nothing a bit of TLC couldn't fix.
On this occasion, there is a climbing rose, a delicate Clematis and some shrubbery that will no doubt suffer whatever remedy is thought best. I the fence panel has a large gash in it also.
I'm really upset because I heard the awful crashing sound but didn't think that a thoughtless driver would deliberately be destroying property without so much as a sorry.
Wintersong sorry to hear about what has happened Hugs and hope things can be repaired and plants survive.
Back from our appointment with only one plane, my reward for going along, not needed but happy to get a plant. Dobies was a big commercial place nothing unusual in plants but I have a Veronica Tissington white to plant, I like it and never had one.
Wintersong - I take it the thoughtless a******* just vanished? Makes me furious
Just been looking at your lovely archway on the Gallery thread too. Great pix. I hope your other plants will be ok. At least at this time of year a bit of cutting back and some tlc and they should recover and get some new growth.
MrsG - they'll stay in the bigger pots till summer - ish, unless I get impatient. If they make good growth by July/August I'll put them in the raised beds, although it should probably only be one of the white ones as I want a couple of early ones for a succession and these all flower at similar times. I'll have other places to put them temporarily.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hello folks - it's just clouding over now so I've shut the mini-greenhouse down a bit - there's tomatoes, courgettes, ipomeas and a baby dahlia in there
Just went out to cut some tarragon for a potato salad - Note to self: when bending down to cut tarragon, be aware that above your head is a heavy duty bird feeder freshly filled with peanuts
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
