Dad is improving. He'd improve faster if he did as he was told.
I think most men would
Present company excepted of course ...................
Glad to hear he's on the mend Fb - they're such a worry when they get poorly. I'm going to see mine today - the forecast is better for the second half of the week so I thought I'd visit now so I can garden later
Verdun - good luck to niece - new stuff is scary but it's fun as well
Gardengirl - don't feed the rats!!! Not if they're real rats!!! That nest full of babies will have nests full of babies of their own within a few weeks and they'll all have nests full of babies and then...................... One pair can turn into 200 in one year!!!
I'm not saying you have to kill them if you don't want to (but I would) but don't make their lives too comfortable - they won't stay in the garage - they'll move into your house ..... they really will!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Chill day, overcast outside and the un-landscaped part of the garden is starting to nag me now...best stay indoors or it'll be a back breaking day of hard labour
Good morning Wintersong Bright sunshine here - sorry - I'll try to send some your way - I'm visiting Aged Ps this morning so I don't really need all of it

Fidget - so pleased your dad is on the mend, it's when he does do what he's told the real worry can set in! Just keeping you on your toes, same as he probably always does
Coffee with friend cancelled cos her mum ill, so it'll be SM and HW for me (as you can see I've made an early start)
Ol, the sweet peas I sowed into pots LAST spring are great, this years are rubbish. I'm also going for autumn sowing this year. PS they aren't the ones which turned into sunflowers!
Goodness me what a lot of winking I'm doing this morning
That reminds me - when my Aged Ps were still living in their own home they had a young man come once a week to mow the lawn and weed the garden etc.
One day when I visited Ma took me out into the garden to look at the 'new shrub' on the rockery - a substantial and very healthy Cannabis Sativa!!! Not the 'hemp-type' grown from bird seed - the proper stuff (don't ask me how I know - I went to art school - it's a broad education).
It went into the Aged Ps brown bin.
Apparently when he next visited the gardener asked Ma if she'd been doing some weeding () 'cos there was a plant missing from the rockery. Ma said that her daughter had recognised it and pulled it up. Apparently he said he thought it was a plant - oh yeah??? .............. we reckoned that if he was growing one in each of the gardens that he tended he'd probably got quite a few dotted about
