    Good morning it is raining again. I was pleased to see that everyone had a busy weekend in the garden.

    @Woo sorry to hear about the seedlings  but glad that you have made a new gardening friend.

    @Excitable Boy thanks for the review always good to know these things from someone who has been.

    As you can imagine Saturday was a perfect day for my sisters wedding, you know it is bad when you keep  inspecting flowers and adding them to the list of things you want to grow. She had a blue thistle in her bouquet that I would like in my gardenimage

    Glad your sister's wedding enjoyed fine weather.  Did everyone admire your paper flowers?  It was good for my nephew's wedding last Friday

     We are now keeping our fingers crossed for my neice's wedding on Saturday.  It is autumn here so the weather is a mixture of sunshine and showers.  We went to the park today and it was strange to see all the autumn leaves on the trees.

    Good morning! It's going to be another hot day today--and I will be weeding, feeding, watering and painting. Nary a cloud in the forecast for the next week, and it's time to switch the house to summer mode---and to shade the greenhouse. At last!

    Kate, you made me smile with your flower inspection--I probably would have done the same!

    KG what a lovely photoimage

    The paper flowers were admired, some were decorated by small children (who had been given glitter pens), some were thrown at small children and someone took theirs apart and came and asked for a quick lesson in origami.image

    Inkadog there was even a plant near the reception that I wondered if I could take a cutting fromimage Fortunately I was allowed to bring some of the wedding flowers home with me.

    Glad the weddings so far have enjoyed good weather. You were lucky in Cornwall, Kate as the weather has not been too good here lately.

    My daughter-in-law has a Beaufort wedding car and she did a wedding in Falmouth on Saturday. It would have been a coincidence if that was that was yours. Your flowers seem to have been a success even if some were keeping the children amused.

    Will you be able to take cuttings from the flowers?

    @pottiepam we were up on the moors but that would have been a scary coincidence. 

    Can I take a cutting from a cut flower????????

    Good Evening everybody!

    @ Gardeningfantic, Thanks! n yeah! Your eyes do not deceive you! We are gunna connect the greenhouse n polytunnel together to give us a large undercover area to work in!

     Not only that, I have read somewhere by doing this you actually create two differing micro climates! How true this is? I'll let you know how it goes! and if we decide to heat the greenhouse in winter, then with the door shut we only have the cost of heating that particular area! 

    And at long last! I have been able to start planting out!! Was beggining to think it was never gunna get there with this ghastly weather we have been having!
