Pyracantha. This is a great plant. It's loaded with berries and very colourful. All of these berries will have been eaten by C******** ....
I received the monthly E-mail from Wyevale this morning. It includes an interesting tip for keeping squirrels away from newly planted bulbs. It's a variation of a method sometimes used with bird feed... "Make a paste using super-hot chilli - throw it into a full watering can and leave to soak overnight. Next day water in all your newly planted bulbs - squirrels will run a mile"
I'm here Geoff. Everyone must be at work or getting ready for the day ahead. We are going to the garden centre today to buy new piping for the garden pond pump, the other is kaput More expense.
Hope it stays fine for you, we have got a cloudy day here at the moment, but hopefully the sun will shine as we go over the Lincolnshire Wolds towards the sea.
Lovely pictures Pam and Gary, is Autumn really here?
The birds are going to have a feast in your garden, Gary. lovely plant.
Have you ever seen the film, 'Saving Grace'? Really funny about a pensioner having to make some money after her husband died and she grew cannabis.
We've got a lot of wild areas in Cornwall covered in gorse and a couple of years ago two chaps made a clearing in the middle of a thicket of gorse and grew some plants. They spent all summer tending them and carrying water over quite a distance. Unbeknown to them the police knew about it from the start and when the plants were ready to harvest the police pounced.
:- D P-Pam. Love the Caryopteris and the pyracantha pics. Recently bought a Caryopteris, just the normal Heavenly Blue as a more exotic one I had a few years ago didn't like me and died. My ceratostigma, another gorgeous blue, does well and is very popular with the insects. My pyracantha only has berries up one side - very odd - and my cotoneaster has far fewer than usual. I'm putting it down to lack of pollination due to appalling weather.
Promising start weather wise, hoping to be out in it soon.
More antics last night with the yob from next door. Police called at 2.30am, in a very noisy car might I add. Police knocked my door this morning asking if I witnesed the assault yesterday morning??? They're coming back later for a statement to what I saw. Why do people seem to seek trouble. I would be horrified if my kids kept causing the police to come to my door.
Anyway, no sun today, but not really cold. Ironing on the agenda for today.
The only good thing about ironing is it keeps you warm ;- ) Glad I don't have your neighbours, Becks, I am VERY grumpy if my sleep is disturbed or curtailed!!!
Morning all , Lovely pics. Been playing catch up with stuff I hadn't done during lurgy. A lot of activity on here last night - mostly about Felix . No way, can't believe someone would even think about doing that . Liked the u.f.o. stories - never seen anything myself but know a few people who claim to have unless of couse they've been growing cannabis as well !
I have never seen the northern lights but have seen the pics. We are nearly at the end of a solar cycle now. Very interested it all of that. In March , plans were put into place to protect some of the electricity grids as there was a large C.M.E. that threatened to cause major disruption of telecommunications. The end of this particular solar cycle is predicted for end of 2012, beginning of 2013. Hmmm anyone seen that film ?

Or possibly still in bed? We're the ones who like getting up in the dark.
I love blue flowers, Pam.
