Chicky, are you there?? Need your help. Have made a note about your advice on potting up my little acers....just wondered if they needed special potting compost etc. Many thanks
Hello all Dove, I was going to suggest either a squash, courgette or cucumber as I've grown them all this year and they all looked like this when they germinated, it's hard to tell one from the other. Is it a quiz though I can't believe you wouldn't really know (only skim read as catching up!)
Panda, I would have thought Lily's plant was a Sempervivum too
Kef, that bug your hubby had sounds terrible. I got food poisoning in Feb last year and lost 8lb in 4-5 days, unfortunately I out it all back in and more when I could eat again because I was so hungry!!!
At the moment I'm a size 14-16 (nearer) 16 and would like to be a comfortable 12, I'm 5'6". Been an 8 mile bike ride tonight and a 3 mile dog walk......I am sooooo determined but to be fit as well as slimmer
Just popped in - work busy, then some taxi-ing. Sadly no gardening of any description to report. Glad to hear that Chris the Cuckoo lives in Doves garden, that Panda had an ok day at work, and that SP's bite has reduced in size.
Lily - i just use the multipurpose with added John Innes for potting my acers up. Although they like acid soil, so the ericacious stuff would do as well.
Good morning all, heavy rain over night and garden quite sodden.
Dove it's going to be interesting to see what your new edible is, I think butternut squash. Guessing as I think I remember you cooking them and seeds would have been composted I usually end up with self set tomatoes.
Good morning all Yes, we did eat quite a few butternut squashes last summer, also several Crown Prince squashes over the previous autumn and winter. Melon seeds also get put out on the compost heap. I hope we get a good summer so whatever it is can fruit and ripen
I've put a dish of softened stale bread out on the terrace - the magpies are feasting on it noisily and arguing with the wood pigeons about who it belongs to. While we're filling the magpies up on starchy bread they're not robbing the songbirds' nests - well, that's my theory anyway

Oops, sorry can't help Dove.
Thank you Panda
That seedling looks just like my baby butternut squash that I sowed direct into the ground.

Sweet dreams all
Thank you Chicky
morning anyone who's around
Fell asleep early last night. Apologies to lily - I thought it was MrsG who had the alpine pot - should have gone to Specsavers...
Can't help with the seedling Dove - though it does look like something substantial will come from it!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
