Morning all.... Grey here also and lo running a temp so no work or childminder for her and me!!!! I'm looking at a day of Mickey Mouse at this rate!!!! Verd when do ecineceas start coming up( if they survived?) my echinops from wilkinsons are doing great and 2 out of 4 of my Parker's astrantia are up ( no signs from the heuchera yet) and my two sieboldii are growing well but not from the base from a spur but it's growth...... The other one wilsonii nothing yet Grow grow grow why won't you grow!!!!!!
hi all, tracey my sweet peas leggy too.. put out last few days but warmer outside than in our house! if i get round to putting up my mini greenhouse i'll leave out now, how do you protect from mice,anyone any good tips, bit pararanoid re rodents had mice in house when 1st moved in
I've never had any problems with mice eating mine (touch wood), the mice round here only like my raspberries and chillies
I did the same as you too Louise and didn't put enough compost in, I made those silly paper pots and putting more compost in yesterday was a nightmare!! They look a right mess now (I hope David I doesn't dad this thread LOL ) I'll see if I can do better with my next lot that are going straight where they are to grow
maybe i'll pop some straight in ground too, am determined to be inundated this year, though last year did quite wll, i was v naughty yesterday and spent oney.. got those clematis on offer in gw mag, such good value couldn't resist,was 1st time i'd bought it, have subscribed now, can read at naptime!
I'm a bit cross with GW magazine because I subscribed but they messed the direct debit up and put the wrong account number on so I didn't get my last copy, now. Want to order some Lillie's but can't get subscriber discount I wouldn't mind if it was my fault!!
MUPPET OF THE DAY AWARD - goes to Tracey-dimwit!!! On Sunday when at the GC with my friend I bought some begonia bulbs (tubers??), 99p if I bought 6 or more. So, I thought great, I'll get 3 for a hanging basket and 3 for planters, put 3 of each in 2 different bags. I have this morning realised that I didn't label the bags, I have no idea which ones are which and they all look the same!!!! What a muppet I am
Morning all. Frosty here but sunny. Washing already out and another one set for when I get home.
Hope everyone who's been unwell is a bit better today and Dove's mum is alright too.
I'd always go for more arches MrsG and put them together to make a decent pergola. Get some planting beside them too so that they don't just look like they've been plonked in the middle of nowhere, completely unconnected. They should look like they 'belong' to the house or garden. They'll look very imposing initially but once they're planted....
Off to work now. Have a good day everyone.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Morning all. Brrr it's chilly out there. Decision made - sticking with 3 of the argos arches, positioning to be decided when they arrive but at lease two together. Off to look at GW mag as someone (Tracey?) said clem on offer! Have a good day.
Good morning folks! Thank you so much for all your kind wishes for Ma
No bones broken thank goodness, and they gave her a thorough going over, Xrays, ECG and bloods, all fine. By the time all that was done there was no chance of a transport ambulance to take her home so they kept her in for the night and she'll go back to the Lovely Home after breakfast this morning. We didn't get back until nearly midnight as the Acle Straight was closed for resurfacing so we were diverted via some of the prettier Broads villages.
OH kept me company at the hospital last night - it was nearly midnight when we got home so we went straight to bed, conseqently the washing up from supper is still in the kitchen - but I have got a load of towels out on the washing line this morning.
The forecast yesterday was for it to be chilly here in Norfolk, but the thermometer shows that it got up to 18C for the second day running.
I've just had a text to say that the new spade will be delivered between 12.31 and 13.31 today by someone called Alan
Now I'll check on what you lot were nattering about last night ...........
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
