My thermals have already been put to good use! By golly t'was nippy out there when putting washing ouit- it's flapping quite well now, good.
So thermal long johns under scruffy jeans, thermal vest under 3 other layers & a coat on top & 2 pairs of socks & 2 pairs of gloves & a hat! Looked like Michellin man & the young heating bloke still in a short sleeevd t-shirt!!
Anyway, set myself the task of clearing the moss off just 1 bed. Have done it properly, all disposed of in wheely bin. Lots of sitting on the wall inbetween. Forked it all over & then as much own compost mulch on top as I could manage. 2 woody heucheras have been re dug in- as per advice from Tatton show exhibitor.
Soil very wet, but at least wasnt frozen. Was itching to do more but knew that would be daft. Muddy clothes are now in the washing machine!
Note made about dealing with the moss that I couldnt remove from beneath a well growing Penstemon, still in flower. When I prune it back next Spring shall do the last bit of moss clearing- I just couldnt winkle it out without causing plant damage. I did though dig up the spindly white penstemon that has never really done werll. I noticed the only stem was split, I've got cuttings, so daft to leave it.
Oh dear. Thats the problem, finding someone who will take proper care of them. The same thing happened to Becks.
Mine have died back a little along with the sundew but the venus has gone to nothing ( which is normal) have to keep putting it outside as hubbie won't let it share his beer fridge.
The 5 charity bags of clothes have not been collected-a van when up and down the road an hour ago without stopping-have phoned charity again -waiting a call back-and they complain that donations are down

Are your pitcher plants still going Geoff ?
Jean-that is a very touchy subject about the pitcher plants
Before I went on holiday I had 2 healthy plants sitting in pots on damp peat-I left them in the kitchen with a note saying -"do not let these dry out"
And they were allowed to dry out
Those thermals look to big to me

Have just strimmed some wet grass.
Quite easy. No disasters ensued.
I like strimming wet grass.
