I had some sundrops last year, expected them to die overwinter. When you came, they were behind the forgetmenots and oriental poppies. They are flowering well now. I'll take a photo tomorrow.
Its still light up in far North Scotland. OH has been playing on the sand dunes, watching seals
OL, in my experience Babybrain lasts until the confusion of being parent of teens takes over - if you're lucky you might get a brief window of normality before menopause brain takes over - however I used 7 years of my 40s to be an art student - brilliant excuse 'Oh, she's a student'
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Car is now loaded with plants for flooded gardens - meeting up with someone from Somerset in Waitrose carpark on my way to work to send them on their way.
Survived the treetops !! Wasn't too bad at all - my freaking out last time was obviously parental anxiety rather than fear of heights - even quite enjoyed the tarzan swings and zipwires
Fergus Garratt was inspirational - a really warm and funny speaker - and his photos of the Great Dixter borders through the seasons were gorgeous. Really clever the way they get the wild untamed look, and yet it is all so meticulously planned. And the work they are doing training young gardeners is really a fitting legacy to Christopher Lloyd. Great evening.
Last science GCSE for littlest Chicklet this morning ..... And then different sort of parental anxiety will be over for another year

Time for bed for me.
FB are lemon sundrops still evening primroses ? Love the colour change idea!
Night Fidget
Have had my hours changed a bit this week . . . am off tomorrow so no early wake up please
Still evening primroses, but they don't form the big rosette and stout stem like the usual one. The stems tend to be a bit lax and need support.
I think the one I wanted was Oenothera biennis, a biennial rosette former.
What I got was oenothera versicolor. They open in the morning and change colour by evening.

I also had a very red one in a mixed packet.
Good morning all, sun is shining.
MrsGarden it's a pretty flower even if not what you expected.
Panda enjoy your day off...I whispered that
Lily if it's salt mines hope it's ok.
Not read all yesterday's posts, but haven't seen Chicky hope she's not still up that wire.
Catch you all later
Good morning all
