Thanks for that tip KEF, a shame to hide the smell of toms really as I love them but if it helps save them it's worth it.....when I get a GH I will put some in
Supermarket this morning, then riding, then tea with a friend who wants to show me her garden and gardening in between if there are any gaps.
On our travels on holiday in England we saw big plastic cows in people's gardens, like the one Garden girl saw in the GC. Wondered where they got them from. Can't remember where it was, could have been the New Forest.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Update on my back Painful, I can now twist from side to side but can't lean back or lift my legs up much. I'm so angry with myself.
I feel a song coming on "If I could turn back time" ..soz wrong thread.
Rather than salted butter, we decided to try that spread that reduces cholesterol, so this morning my brekkie was wholemeal toast with stuff that tasted like I was licking the cake mix from the bowl, with vegemite on the top.
If butter isn't good for you how come we still have real cows and not all plastic ones? Joking, I'm not that daft.
Good morning, lovely and sunny after awful fog, but you know that anyway!
S.son stayed here last night so took him to school this morning - oh yes, needed to detour to New Leaf GC! Then morrisons to check out climbers. 2 hours and a few quid later...
My precious 'generous Gardener' rose
rescue ivy (oh no) for stickery area
rescue clematis bees jubilee
solanum glasnevin (morrisons)
6 tiny babies on 'offer' :
verbascum southern charm, aquilegia crimson star, tanacatum robinson red, germ rivale, dahlia Rebecca's world, dormouse and hedgehog also for stickery.
Dahlia penny lane and day Lilly Bette Davis eyes for mum ( me next year).
Damp and chilly here but no fog - well, come to think of it I wasn't up all that early.
Magnolias in bloom as I walked through the town this morning - definitely on the early side I'd've said.
Although we're northish here (Liverpool) we get the tail end of the Gulf Stream, the moderating influence of the sea anyway and the urban heat island effect. My friends who live a couple of miles further inland regularly experience temperatures significantly lower than I do and often have frost when I don't. So 'my' urban garden is definitely going to have stuff sown this week, earlier than sometimes recommended. I have had windows over a bed for a few days though, and will use fleece - but that's more to keep the fly off the carrots.

How's your back KEF?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Ouch
Here are some flowers to cheer you up x (Taken at Southport Flower Show a few years ago)
Morning all, sun just coming through, having burnt through the dense fog.
I think I shall be lazy today [ OH would say whats new ], sit outside and plan.
Hope the poorly ones are getting better, KEF, keep taking the medicine.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
KEF - I love that idea about disguising the tomato smell in the green house. I'll have to try that with my toms this year!
