Had a lovely day pottering around the garden, planting my tulip bulbs, sweetpeas sown, and general tidying up. Found some tomatos on the floor at the foot of the pots. Would they drop off on their own? They're not fully grown ones, but have spotted magpies flying off from the same vicinity in the last few days.
Been trying to do the best I could with a carrier bag of grape vine cuttings my sister bought round. There were no proper sturdy branches in there. I think she just cut off the nearest things to her as she doesn't 'do' gardening, or likes getting her hands dirty.
Puzzled at why the jelly isn't coming off the tomato seeds I saved. I've fermented them twice now, but it's not budging. Any tips??
Talking of bananas, I bought some seeds off ebay earlier this year. Sown a couple, but they still haven't germinated. Info said it could take up to 12 months. I have a couple left. Might sow them later and stick them in the airing cupboard. Light not needed for germination apparantly. They were Musa Acuminata Dwarf Banana.
Anyways, off to do battle with Jess's room in a min. That should be fun.
Saturday already Bjay and I haven't caught up with last weeks Montalbano yet.
Just cut some sedums that had fallen over, they look pretty in a vase and often root so get an extra plant into the bargain. Got some clematis coming into flower, can't remember which variety but will take a photo when they are out. Sure someone will tell me.
Geoff, talking of XF I flicked the TV on last night, and the American one was on . I thought,'Go on, watch a bit. Geoff loves it, can't be that bad' and was then highly disturbed by a little chubby girl with hair in bunches singing, well, if it was that, her version of 'Annie'! The TV went off again just as quick.
Geoff I would pay to see Lucy, I think that she would be funny.
Becks I have tried with banana seeds and no joy, I think with certain plants it is better to buy a small plant and take cuttings. What type of grape vine, my decorative one roots very easily.
I haven't a clue Kate to be honest, and neither does she. I asked if they were edible and she didn't know. She has just moved house, and they were from her old house she moved from. I don't even know what colour they will be. I did them all in compost pots. Do you think I should put a few in water as well?

Afternoon lovelies.

Hollie watches Montablo but she only pops in here now and again
Chris -Susan Boyle was BGT not XF-schoolgirl error-perhaps Pam can lend your her horseys to cut the grass
Kate -would not pay to see any of them but would love to go to a live show can you get me a ticket?
Still can't give apples away

Chris do you have any spare pie?

Kate I do but OH has to have own way sometimes. (sigh)
Wow! a load of Montalbano lovers. It's just.... so..... not scandinavian
Also, does anyone know what this flower/plant is? They are growing at the bottom of my tree which is fenced off, so nothing I've sown/planted.
I'm not sure what leaves belong to it, as it is just a weedfest in that area.
Becks they look bit like cyclamen to me but I'm probally wrong - usually am on these matters. They are very pretty though.
