Afties, Admiring my nice clean patio after yesterday's efforts but it's gone cold again today. Hard to get motivated at the mo but keep telling myself I'll give it another hour.
Back from cold dog walk and quick visit to GC. Had cup of coffee (and 2 shortbread biscuits that I didn't need ) Bought small bag of vermiculite, resisted several plants, a swing seat and assorted stone dragons. May go in GH after lunch and set up the autopots - at least I'll be out of the wind.
Looking forward to BLT sarnie for lunch when OH gets back.
Saw the planted-up front on the other thread, Bjay. You must be so pleased to have done all that. I'm sure you'll get inspiration for those gaps, might be nice to have some space for other things that take your fancy.
Just been out to pot up a couple of roses,Little White Pet, to have on the patio to find that the compost we bought was the wrong sort We ask the chap at the garden centre to load us a bag of Tree, Shrub and Rose compost and he gave us hanging basket compost, should have checked as he loaded it I suppose, but we bought grow bags and some more stuff and didn't notice.
Will now have to make another journey to GC
Sound as if everyone's been busy today, but it's still too cold to be out for long.
Leftovers for tea then a relaxing evening after having to family over yesterday.
I didn't realise there was a special rose compost Chris! I was planning to fill my front garden with roses WHEN I get round to doing it. That's going to make it expensive. Or is that just for tubs/container roses?
Temp. got up to 10°C today so finally got off my chuff. Potted up my cannas which have been in the cellar and tidied up the front porch which has my overwintering plants. Tomorrow I will cut back and replant my dipladenia Sundaville which is in a hanging basket.
Pizza for dinner tonight then TV and check the Forum during the ads.
Typical Finally got motivated outside and spent a few hours digging and pottering under a grey chilly sky. The minute I get in , the sun's cracking the flags.

Afties,
Admiring my nice clean patio after yesterday's efforts but it's gone cold again today. Hard to get motivated at the mo but keep telling myself I'll give it another hour.
Yesterday was lovely - picked a good day.
Sitting here doing nothing.
I need some inspiration.

Well have spent all this time planting up the frone garden bed. So finally have got around to changing my avatar for April
This is one of the plants I have just put in. It is called Photinia 'Little Red Robin' and is a dwarf variety of the big one
Have found I now have some spaces. I thought I had enough plants but even taking into consideration the spread still have some large gaps
