Hello all So sorry I haven't caught up on everything that's been going on this weekend as I'm shattered and had a couple of glasses if wine with my OH Had a fab time and thank you for all the well wishes for a good weekend, I'm presuming there was lots of GC visits, gardening and possibly BBQs and sun anything going on
Pandas are sooooooooooo cute, I want a panda (said in a Verucca Salt fashion!)
Still got no PM's and also can't access emails, not having much luck. I can read PM's but can't reply. FG & Dove Is there another way to contact Daniel?
First look at all the posts as have been a busy Allium this weekend. Finished off the raised border and planted out some of the beans that have been acclimatising outside for the past week.
Had a lovely visit to Mottisfont this afternoon. There was some lovely Irises and Aqilegias flowering. Looking forward to all the roses in full bloom!
My washing line is the old fashioned line across the lawn type.
Hot here all day, reached _40 c in the greenhouse with the double doors open. I spent most of today either watering or drinking long cooling drinks under the parasol.
The first sweet pea has opened and all the oriental poppy clumps have at least one flower open.
OL, course I'm cute, and everyone should have one of me Hope you and sis had a great time. Did you tell her about me?
I know what I meant to say earlier. . . when clearing out my bluebells I took a closer look at the 'climbing fuchsias' I planted last year to see how they were doing, if there was any sign. . . no sign of them, but in their place was a clematis! I did not plant this, I def planted the fuschia as they flowered last year. My plants have transformed by themselves!
Verdun - good to hear Plantify are a good website. I got a friend some vouchers for there after reading some on line reviews and were hoping they were still good.
Hi Panda, no I didn't tell her about you but I will do, there were 7 of us so not just me and my sis.
Had a quick mooch around the threads, 2 things I forgot to say.......BUSY BEE, got your PM, as said above I can't reply but tomorrow
Secondly, my OH and big boy did a fab job of looking after my plants, a little bit of constructive criticism required to perfect it but on the whole very impressed! I cannot believe how much everything has grown in 2 days AND......my tomatoes have flower buds, whoop whoop whoop yippeeeeeeeeeeeee And I have the first 2 red roses of the year Oohhhh it's so exciting
Gosh - everyone's plants seem to be flying! My sweet peas are still thinking about things and have just started to grow up the bamboo cane. Think it will be a while before I get flowers!
Spring sown sweet peas soon catch up with autumn sown ones. The ones I have in bud germinated in the pod, so I put them in some compost and neglected them for the winter. The new ones are catching up fast.
