Popped back for a warm. It's quite chilly even though the sun is out. Think I 'll have to put another layer on.
Pam , that is a lovely pic. Mine didn't do well at all this year so may re-think baskets next year. I've read about the weather next week - doesn't look good at all so I'm going to do as much as I can today. Not that there's much to do but I've noticed some more seed heads on the cosmos so I'm going to see what I can find.
P.Pam , You are making me think of Danish pastries now. I think I am developing a serious problem.
Have just come back from a stroll to the shops-in the sun it is rather nice-saw loads of police cars outside a flat then in they went with one of those things for battering down doors-didn't hang around too see what happened next but it was like something from the Bill-probably a druggie thing
Where does the morning go? -have done nothing again and it is nearly lunch-time
Weird goings on here, builders did not turn up till 10am and they left after 5 mins. So nice to get half hours peace in the garden. I have managed to catch up on a lot of dead heading. A couple of plants are really struggling I always find it difficult to decide when they are ready to retire.
Afternoon all, sunny here and looks like it might be a while before we get another sunny day. We're going to make the most of it and head off to the allotment, we've been digging a large bed all week (about 9m x 2m), it's taken ages and I ache in places I didn't know could ache, but there's nothing quite like looking back at all the hard work when it's finished.
I'm waiting to put in seeds, winter lettuce and broad beans are top of the list for me, OH is waiting a few more days (maybe weeks) before starting on the many packets of sweetpeas he's amassed from the great big Wyevale 50p seed sell off.
Hope everyone has a great day and not too many of you have to put up with horrid soup for tea.
Afties, Just come in now. Done all what I wanted to in the garden and have collected some more seeds. Cosmos and Astrantia . Potted up some more bulbs and generally had a good weed and tidy up.
Glad you had some respite from the builders , Kate.
I could do with sorting my freezer out as well Don't know what's lurking around .
Geoff, you need to spy. Do you think you could be an ''extra'' in a film ?
Make the most of the sunshine everyone - look what I've been reading :
A sunny day but hosting the family today, just fed the horde, now all that is left are crumbs and biscuit wrappers. Won't manage to get out in the garden despite the sunshine.
Gary, 2-3 weeks behind. I still have crocosmia in flower. Was at Harlow Carr last week and plenty still looking good.

Seeds make my fingers itchy too.

@ Kate, are the struggling plants annuals?
@figrat, Some are annuals some perennials. I have done that with soup too
