    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 outimage

    Those thermals look to big to meimage

    My thermals have already been put to good use! image 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.

    Becks- hope you & jess get better soon. J.

    Oh dear. image 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. image

    Watering something is not brain surgeryimage

    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 downimage

    Quite easy. No disasters ensued.

    I like strimming wet grass.
