Good morning all ,a damp start to the day here as well the wife God be good to her has plans for me today in our dog invested back garden we have four 2 westies and 2 Yorkshires the little fffffffffffffffffffffks
Morning GaryJeanBunny and anyone who's posting as I type
Same fine drizzle as Gary here. Bunny - we could have Jean's rain at night and sun in the daytime - I'd settle for that.
You could just have a few veg to see if you enjoy growing them but, as you say, next year if you've a lot to do now. I shall be almost veg-less this year
We used to sing the Frog song at school (when I was a teacher not a pupil). It's not bad as ear-worms go.
Missed yesterday so hope you will update me with any major developments
It's a drizzly morning here as well, but mild. Meeting some friends for lunch today for a catch up, will no doubt be talking about all our ailments, we have all got to that age.
No frogs chorus here, a bit early for us, but frogs have been sighted in the pond, so hopeful.
I've spotted slugs in the borders, hiding under the dead leaves, which have now been cleared, so hopefully the birds will get a few of the little blighters that are left. no doubt they will be back with a vengence.
Morning all. I've been wanting to sow my broad beans, but huge wind 2 days ago, rain yesterday, sunny and warm today, but drop in temp forecast for next week with light snow on Monday. Should I sow them or not? Plants are hardy (but not hardy enough for winters here) but will the seeds rot if they get cold? The later you leave it the worse the blackfly.
Will be out this evening , helping organise charity quiz, with meal for cancer support and homeless. France may be a socialist state with bigger benefits than the UK. but if your paperwork isn't in order and you don't have an address you get nothing. Beggers in Périgueux.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
We always grow some runner beans in a large pot as well as a row in the garden so you should have a good result from them, also carrots as we seem to always get carrot root fly and if you grow them in a pot at least 18" off the ground this can help the problem, so I'm told We have had good results in the past. Best of luck anyway.
Hate to say this but the weather is set to get colder over the weekend. - 4c forecast here at night.

Baking sounds good Bunny.

Yes, there is a very severe weather deterioration in the forecast. I may have to rewrap all the plants that I've just unwrapped.
