Yikes, another muggy day. But outside everything is growing like mad in this weather! Looking at all those wonderful little plants in the GH made me a little envious as well! Wow, are they looking good Gardeningfanatic and Lily-Louise .
I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I have never grown my annual plants from seed but just buy them new every year.My only excuse is that I don't need that many as I will only be filling some pots and the rest of the garden is already filled with trees, shrubs, perennials and bulbs but it still amazes me to see how dedicated some people can be. Please keep those piccies coming 'cause they brighten up a dark day.
Hi all. Just popped in to say that today's wedding went well. Tomorrow is my neice's hen night, which includes a tour of haunted Melbourne Her wedding is next week.
So we will be seeing a bronzed adonis when Geoff returns from sunny climes. Still my beating heart.
Those temperatures at home are still dipping down a bit at night - the forecast says 5 on Tuesday. Please can somebody sacrifice something to the weather god to make it warm up before I come back home?
@Woo Small world - I'm in Wickwar. Last weekend was the first time we've been to Wyevale in ages - they've changed it a lot!! Don't know whether I like the kids ball pool being in the restaurant, lol, but seems to be working for them.
Sorry to hear about your disaster - I have quite a lot of flower seedlings you can have as I'm restocking my garden but have got a bit carried away and planted up the whole pack of seeds and then found it difficult to throw seedlings away. I have anthirrrrinhhu... snapdragons, asters, love lies bleeding, dahlias (these have got mixed up, so it's a bit of pot luck as to colour/form) bedding begonias, sea holly, cardoon (got 12 of these - I only need one, d'oh! ), tagetes, I also have some chilis, parsley (both types), russian tarragon, thyme and probably a few other things I've forgotten. PM me with a phone number if you're interested in any of this as I will end up planting it all out far too close together and it'll be a farce.
@Gardeningfanatic....... awww thank you so much for your offer, everyone on here is so kind. Excitable Boy has also offered to pass on some seedlings and it seems he's only 10 minutes away from me so Im able to go to collect some from him soon. Thank you again, your offer was much appreciated xx I will keep you informed of my gardening progress. As the weekend looks as if its going to be dry I hope to spend lots of time outdoors, hope you get decent weather too
@woo2.. your welcome.. sounds good idea to be able to pick them. much easier.
yes weather looking good..sunny and gorgeous today if not a little windy.. so hopeing to get out a do lawn tomorrow and weeding and planting summer bedding out.
Had a gardening day at my parents' house today, since the weather finally turned nice. I help them as and when they need to keep things in check, although today I nagged them into letting me come once a week because I want their garden to be as spic and span as mine and they are getting too old to tend it properly.
My dad's a chef so the food was great and came home with some cuttings and bags of horse poo, hurrah! Finally, I can add the poo to my pampas grass mountain and have a mountain of poo instead and I can add more every time I visit my parents, so hopefully my borders will get a treat next spring.
When I got in, I also found out hubby had been laying a step at the far end of my veg plot which was a wonderful surprise since he suffers from CFS and really shouldn't be up to hard graft but he tries every day to be fully fit again and I adore my new step! The veg plot is really starting to look the part.
After a bit of rest, I worked in my own garden, potting on the cuttings I bought home, some french beans and annuals and then mixed up my various compost bins which includes using the sheers to chop everything into small pieces. Phew, I'm knackered now but tomorrow is another sunny day forecast, so woohoo, more time with the plants.
@Woo2, Cheers! Yeah! Been hard work, but muchly enjoyed! Really glad Excitable Boy has offered his assistance after your misap! What a really nice gesture!!!!
n after trying to errect a brand new greenhouse for the plot last weekend, only to find a few crucial bits missing! Arrghhh!! (How annoying is that?) They have finally turned up today! Yippeeeee! All panels now errected, so greenhouse building it will be tomorrow! n sunshine is forcast! How good is that!!!! Have a geat gardening weekend everybody!!!!!

Good afternoon all,
