Son says notice in fishmongers window : All our crab cakes are horse meat free
After popping, which I may do today as well spent a bad night coughing and now have a searing headache - again
Will spend a GH day. Some seedling s to pot on and some little lavenders to pot as well. They have survived winter but now to give them a boost (they were plugs when I had them. Not venturing in garden as such and the fresh air may help clear my head.
Don't think I'd be safe in a white shirt in garden, but could do with some braces as next set of trousers keep falling down
Morning all. Day off from the saltmines. Bad nights sleep with painful hand. Carpal tunnel or something! Sausage sandwich calling. Then going to make lemon curd cake for after lunch. Garden calling for tidy up. Marvelous sunshine, though bit chilly. No white shirt. Jumpers and fleecy called for. Son gone skateboarding. Daughter gone missing since Friday night. Odd text here and there. Will reappear for Sunday lunch no doubt. Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine?
Back in for a midday bacon buttie Making good headway on the border now. All the honeysuckle has been decimated so probally won't get flowers this year. May get some from the Serotina but not from the Dropmore Scarlett . Had to be done though. Just found a million and one nasturstium seeds in the border. To be honest. sorry I planted them - cant get rid of them now.I do like them but they appear to be popping up everywhere. I won't be keeping them. Anyone want them ? All mixed.
Thanks for the portrait Geoff, if ever I meet you I'll be able to recognise you!
I just bought some nasturstium seeds to sow next to the broad beans Jean. I wish my Dropmore Scarlet needed heavy pruning. It shrinks every year and I think it's had it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I need some advice please. I have some dianthus, they were plugs so have brought them on in the GH over winter. They look good but some of them are growing quite long. I remember my M taking cuttings from them, but have not grown them before. Advice please on where I take the cutting s from etc
Hello all. Have done the front border this morning - weeded and things chopped back. Its south facing so its lovely out there in the sun! I found an antirrhinum out there that hasn't died away over winter, and its a lovely dark red when in flower. Must be a tough cookie! I thought they were annuals.
Quick question - what do I do with the dead flowers on the hydrangea? Can I chop them off??
Coffee and ginger cookie now! Lunch will have to wait until later.
