Hi all. Travelled home early today to find the garden has gone bonkers - at least the weeds have. Everyone seems to energetic today - bike rides, lawn mowing, etc. even dancing round bonfires tonight
Just been out and cut off the lupin heads that have gone to seed and next it's the poppies.
If anyone wants a long term project I have some snakeshead fritillary seed going spare. It apparently takes two growing seasons before they can be planted out in the garden but it's worth a try. Just let me know.
Hmm - perhaps I should save some of the lupin seeds too Plenty of them.
Hello folks! I'm home after Barnsdale trip and staying with the rellies - I paid for my bed and board by 'babysitting' delightful 12 year old niece - we had a Chinese meal and stayed up past my usual bedtime
I had a good journey home today and whilst OH has done jolly well with the garden, I've been watering pots and putting the sprinkler on the veg patch since I got home.
Now I'll have a quick catch up with what's been happening on the Forum
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
All done. Now got headache, sunstroke and dehydration! No had a really good time, with wine half way and then cider as passed a friends house. Splattered in mud. Don't tell OH i enjoyed it though...waiting for next bit of alcofroliks in HT.
Finally finished watering at neighbours, pigs fed at another, mine watered. GH's at all 3 attended to. This morning I sorted weeds on block pathed drive and hung out some washing and did some deadheading and weeding, made my curry for tonight before 9am
Didn't paint the shed or my GH staging..was rather warm
Took time out to chat to a good friend and that's the only time I've really sat down.
Having my curry early as starving, no lunch. So I guess after food and a drink I'll be ready for bed. Teach me to get up before 6am.
Have a great evening all & don't be dancing naked anywhere even if it is the 21st.

OH is moping about the house and watching a god awful tear jerker type nonsense. Why don't men have reset buttons?!
Been too hot to do much today, need to battle on with the weeds but it's friends birthday bbq in a bit so they'll have to wait.
OH is going to the shops for beer and ice cream

All planted up Fairy . . . But I do have a question . . . when you say a 6-7 inch pot, are we talking diameter or height?
Glad you made it back safely Dove
How are my foster babies?
Safe and sound Panda
