    Morning all. Only 5° with 13° forecast. In the past it has been in the late 20s in May and one year my mother got a heat rash. It was cold last year too.

    I just wrote rather a serious medical sort of item about cannabis an deleted it, too serious. But was trying to think of something to say. Only recently got out of bed!

    Morning All image A couple of heavy showers here already this morning but sun trying to stay out at the moment, I'm working though so it doesn't matter really image

    MrsGarden, I definitely think that autumn sowing is the way to go now, I didn't realise you had solved the seedling puzzle....I must have missed that image

    Good luck to OL's biggest man in his biology - hope lots of plant questions come up - he must have absorbed some of the plant knowledge flying round the house by osmosis image

    Morning all image

    Bit grey here and rain promised for later image 

    Good luck again to the LOs with exams image

    KEF, what have you been up to?

    Dove, sounds like your Ma had a lucky escape! Still, a clever way for the chap to do his cultivation. Round here they tend to grow it in the roofs of the dodgy houses image

    Hope everyone else has a good day!

    Hello folks - my we must all have been busy - no chatting on here for six hours!!!  

    I've been to see my Aged Ps, who were fine image  

    On the way back I pulled in at a roadside stall selling plants - lots of lovely and unusual things - I bought some Dianella Cassa Blue - the leaves are just the right colour for the front garden and the leaf-shape will give some textural contrast near the verbascum and a new hosta I've just bought image  I didn't mean to buy more plants, but after the roadside stall I called in at a new little nursery for some seed & cutting compost, and they'd got this huge H. Hadspen Blue for £5.99 and a Geum Rivale 'Flames of Passion' (totally inappropriate name for such a delicate plant but there you go) for £3.99 - and it would've been rude not to wouldn't it?

    Give me a minute and I'll post some pics ........
