Oh, Kate I'm disappointed now. Fritillaries do seem to need special conditions though so I can only try.
Geoff, aren't chickens horrible when they catch something alive? One runs arround with it dangling out of it's mouth with the others chasing it. Mine caught a toad and I'm sure they couldn't have ate it. Supposed to taste awful and are poisonous. I managed to rescue the toad but I don't know if it survived, didn't look too happy.
I took down and emptied out a window box this morning. It was full of vine weevil grubs. I'm sure I gave it a dose of provado earlier but must need a couple of doses. Chickens were grateful for the feast.
That's a gorgeous plant, for those who like big plants, and I do. Getting that plant into the car, and through the doorway, must have been interesting challenges.
I tred overwintering a large banana in the living room one year. It seemed a good idea at the time, but it just took up too much room.
Gary !!!
Back now , Kate , same here - sun's out but quite chilly.
Glad you've sorted out your delivery , Becks.
Chris, yes I make leaf cuttings from the African violets and sometimes split them.
Bjay - glad you enjoyed your swim . I could do with going for one now to work off that fry up
Hi, Pam and Flo
Geoff. be sure to post a pic of your chosen attire
The postman has just brought me my dual fuel bill. Super.
Another quick visit while it's quiet in the office (voluntary duty not paying work!).
Jean :- D :- D I had the same picture in my head!
Gary, thanks for the advice about Ivy v Cherry. I was thinking about hacking Ivy back but letting it grow up again to provide flowers rather than trying to remove the whole thing. Cherry was well-established when I came here 24 years ago and only flowers intermittently these days so is quite likely past its sell-by date.
I've got to research fuel prices too. I should have done last month when my current deal came to an end but, once I get on the computer there seem to be more interesting things to do ;- )
Have a look in your cyber locker , Kate. You may find a sausage . The egg may be a bit hard though
Bjay we would all be rich if we didn't have to pay these flippin' bills. Don't like what I've been reading this morning about the price hike - think I may invest in more jumpers.

pottiepam, I think it may be because I am on heavy clay, I have had no success with naturalising bulbs as MD.
bjay I am sure that the swimming is good for you. At least you can have a guilt free cake.
My neighbours noisy gardener has tidied the front of my front garden again.

I don't think that those outfits are suitable for a lady of my age! Maybe I will just wear a onesie!
Lottie - I forgot you
Hello.
Lottie and Geoff maybe you could coordinate your outfits. I am thinking onsies in tiger print.
My cyber locker is overflowing
