Obelixx, you're not to late to sow nicotiana, my seed packets say you can sow them indoors til April. I'm trying two varieties this year, sylvestris and x sanderae, lime green.
Hi people! I never used to take part in this thread on the other boards (too afraid of being sucked into the vortex of quick wit and repartee!!!) but I often drop in and have a nosey. Just wanted to say it's so nice to see you're all still together!
Well it has cheered up a bit here now-apparently they had to stay on site last night to make sure the fire was out-the local news were saying several days but the rain must have helped.

Very grey here too, and raining on and off every 5 mins.
I have a change of scenary today. I'm staying at my Boss' house for a couple of days, in London, whilst he's away. Working in his house today and going into the office tomorrow. A 4 storey Town House, so I'll be knackered with all these stairs. It's dead posh! The garden is in need of deadheading, and I've been told I can be let lose with the Secateurs. Hurrah!
Yvieh - I hope you don't get carried away with your secateurs. I sometimes do and end up with plants that are a shadow of their former selves which would be a shock to your boss, even if good for the plants.

I'll make sure I don't scalp everything! My Boss is a 'sometimes' gardner really, as he doesn't have much spare time, so He's quite happy for me to tidy things up a bit. The garden is only small and there aren't a huge amount of plants in it either. I'll be staying here on and off for a few weeks, so I think I'll bring along some seedlings and baby plants for him to beef things up a bit, on his return.

Wet and windy at the moment but that will help put the fire out!-I need to go outside to get the chickens up-do I have to?

No chance of doing any gardening here all week - wet and windy, and cold.
I have, however, managed to plant a few seeds indoors, so all is not lost
Obelixx, I hope that you heal soon.

Neither did I, Lorea - I think I'm just feeling the lack of the old board!
Miserable day here, I cannot shift my cold, almost glad that it is not gardening weather.
Good news, another of my castor oil seeds has germinated, I just need to keep this one alive.
Geoff have they still not put the fire out?
Repartee, what a lovely word.
Obelixx not a birthday, I was inspired by fibonacci

Sorry to hear you're still feeling poorly Kate.

Kate - get well soon. Fibonacci works for me.

Hi Obelixx,
I'll make sure I don't scalp everything! My Boss is a 'sometimes' gardner really, as he doesn't have much spare time, so He's quite happy for me to tidy things up a bit. The garden is only small and there aren't a huge amount of plants in it either.
