Back boiler and radiators all sorted and the testing heated up the house. While he was in the study i was in the kitchen cleaning seeds for friends. The duckpond at the back door is growing by the minute. I need to get to the PO now to send my seeds out but I think That can wait a bit to see if the rain eases at 2o'clock as the forecast said. More retail therapy saw me ordering Buy one pack get one free of banana shallots which I love and some red onions. They will all be planted Thursday onwards if the forecast is correct. The red onions slice with red and white stripes so should look good in the salad bowl.
Mmmm the salad sounds really nice Marion, hope you've had plenty hot drinks to keep them busy hands warm, it's been very dry today (for a change) but very very windy, it's very drafty at work too so my cardigan as been on off on off all day , I've been told it's meant to warm up at the weekend, where having a family meal out at the weekend as it's my mum and dads 48th Anniversary , hope it's warmer for you tomorrow Marion and keep wrapped up warm
Dry at last so should get some hemerocallis plants in this morning. More rain on the way so will have to watch out for it coming or take my hearing aids out! I should be able to get a half dozen or so tender subjects carried in to the conservatory too. I have defrosted some soup I made in July for lunch so that will warm me up. I went up to look at the apples yesterday in the rain and picked up a basket of huge fallers so I will replace the carton of soup in the freezer with one of apples. It is stuffed to the rim with food I have grown myself.
Very wet outside again so came in to the conservatory which is looking so lovely with the tender plants beginning to fill it. The pelargoniums are amazing. They were such tiny plugs when they came in May and only cost a few pennies each. The aoniums are going into winter mode and showing green in the middle of their rosettes.
Brilliant sunny morning in Bristol and no rain forecast till late afternoon . It is also warmer as forecast and set to reach 17 today so garden here I come. After the rain we had yesterday the weeds should come out very easily..
Another lovely day has dawned in Bristol. I feel I should not be bringing in all my tender plants but better safe than sorry and some of them like the scented pelargoniums and the tibouchina have grown so tall this wonderful summer outside the wind that is forecast could snap them. It is so noce to hear other parts of the country are having fine weather as well.
AGS monthly meeting tonight. The talk is about bulbs so should see some lovely pictures of them flowering in the wild. Last time we had a talk about bulbs I went on line when I got home and bought hundreds of kaufmanniana tulips. Oh dear, and I have just paid the gas engineer.

It's gone strangely warmer in the north and dry all day to but gone windy and wet now.
Marion your flowers look lovely, it's sounds like you could feed the whole of England with your frozen food
It made a lovely change that it didn't rain here today!
i nipped up to the allotment to check my potatoes, which are thankfully, for the moment at least, not showing any more black spots
i even got out in my garden this evening and picked some "mini" sweetcorn
