    Hello PP - what sunshine? Thinking I'm living in the wrong place.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Another thing, you forkers keep talking about having washing on the line in winter. Washing doesn't dry here in the winter even when sunny it stays damp.

    Just a quick visit while OH is out feeding the birds, greenhouse duties, etc, before we go to fetch the eggs.

    I bought some more begonia illumination corms/tubers, never sure what to call them, yesterday from Wilko's. Not very big 2 for £2. I've got some from last year just want to bulk up the baskets.

    I have got the French garden programme to watch sometime today, was watching the 2nd episode of Silent Witness last night so recorded Monty. How can a man look good in that suite with braces, but he gets away with it.Ahhh.

    Lizzie. washing doesn't dry here either, it just as my Mum says  "lightens" it. unless of course you get a gale, then you can't keep it on the lineimage

    Catch you all later, garden and jobs calling.

    Have a good day.

    Lovetogarden. I also need to catch up with that silent witness. My 2 cats going crazy in the sunshine. Just sit there looking at me when I come in. Are highly delighted if I am in the garden. Think also going to start some giant sunflowers. Did small ones last year. Neighbours complained. Said they liked seeing the tall ones. Didnt think anyone noticed my garden. Perhaps they do! image

    image Just remembered I've got to try and fix my plastic greenhouse (Walk in wardrobe, Gary image) That got blown over and damaged in the winds last year. May have to 'fashion' it a little. image

    Morning all.

    Slept through most of the MD prog. image Always record any gardening things, especially where MD involved as guarenteed instant slumber by moi! image

    A tad nippy out there this morning. OH got back ok, then family outing image to a supermarket. Oh am going to be soooo glad when daughter finally moves out......& she's going to get a shock!

    Will go out to greenhouse & shed after lunch. By then the sun should have moved round & it'll be a bit better out there. Intend to add to the tip pile in the hall. OH has already removed a box file from it......... Anyway OH & daugter doing the tip trip later, or tomorrow. I'm not! Their turn.

    Now I'll catch up. J.

    Thanks about begonias - I do set them off in heat but never this early so I get late blooms. Knew I was doing something wrong - an indoor task for later in week I think, Hope I can find enough window sillsimagelittle electric propagator is already busy and I have an onion seedling yahayimage

    Skippety Doo Dah what a lovely day, you can just smell spring. I have already been to the GC and stocked up on compost and vermiculite. A few plants fell into the basket too, I am going to have another go at a Dicentra and I had some lovely Eucomis last year so I have bought some more of them.

    Off to the garden nowimage

    Is there any pizza left for lunch?

    I took a cutting from the dicentra when i bought it last year and is coming along nicely.

    Can't beat a GC trip on a nice day, we are off to the coast for the afternoon. Have a good productive garden day all. image
