Morning all. 0° this morning, sky hazy sometimes that means sunny later.
We're of to England on Tuesday so must get my new bed finished and planted with the homeless impulse buy plants. I think I'm repeaing myself on different threads!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Today some Fuschia plugs came. They are supposed to be climbing ones - Black Lady - has any one any tips about these? It is a long time since I grew any fuschia from plugs but they appealed to me and I have several places they can go
Also going to dig the concrete in shrub bed - I thought I could top dress it with the some of the top soil coming on Tuesday. Is that a good idea
Bjay - pot your plugs into 3" pots and if you want them to be bushy pinch out the growing tip when there are 3 pairs of leaves - I have some Lady Boothby climbing fuchsias that are hardy - they have been in the border for about 4 years now.
When we redid our garden about 9 years ago we didn't have a lot of money to spend on edging so we decided to use brick paviors - they have lasted really well
Pam, didn't know you could get a climbing fuchsia. I really like the sound of that. Used to grow lots of fuchsia, but got bored with them. I still like the delicate ones more than the big blousy ones. Sometimesfucsias look as though they are made of wax.
The sun has got his hat on, hip, hip, hip , hooray
have been outside without my trusty yellow fleece.
Pam I have just potted them up after a good soak and they are now sunning themselves n the GH. I will wrap them up with the other babies tonight though.
I was just wondering how they climb?
Have just evene doff the opposite front border to the big one. This one just goes straight across but is slightly wider than it was. Not such hard work.

Oh full of questions today, sorry.
Hooray - the bride has made decision. She wants a cake with alternate square and round tiers
The bottom tier will be round . Quite a relief because it's the one I preferred
Next is what decoration she wants
Wonderful out there, just hung washing out without a coat
Love the cake
