    choco - stocking

    Just hung washing on line!!!!image

    Hoping to make some more bread rolls, and actually write Christmas cards.

    Fine enough and not so water logged so managed to walk around garden, The plants where it was most water-logged look very sad and not sure if they will survive. If I have time will put a bit more compost on the area. Is this the right thing to do??image

    See you later

    Piling compost on top won't rescuscitate drowned plants. Best let things dry out, though there's not much chance of that happening.

    I wasn't thinking of recusitation, just helping the soil to recover, if the plants live, they do, if they die so be it.

    I htink drying out,  well next rain shower  and we're off againimage

    Mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil. It keeps the rain in. The best thing to help soil recovery might be aeration, or digging. Or you could let the worms do it for you. I guess the worms emigrate when the soil gets waterlogged, or frozen.

  • Morning, just lazing around reading a book.



    Geoff, you have a way with words!



    Enjoy your day.

  • Good afternoon all,

    Very festive table, Geoff. there dosen't seem to be room for all us forkers  image

    I steeped my begonia corms in provado for a few hours then let them dry out. I don't know if that was the right thing to do.

    Afternoon lovelies!! We're finishing Jessies Santa beard and boots today!

    Apologies for not doing results of yesterdays pressie advent, but got back later than expected last night!

    We did have 2 winners though, and they were Dean and Gary with crayons and colouring pictures! Yay! image Bjay came second with just the colouring book! image

    Todays pressie is the same, so you can all have a guessing rest.

    Geoff, choccie - Stocking! And your table looks lovely!! What time are you picking us up again?? image

    Afters all.  FA LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA!!

    Oops, sorry Dean, I'll sing a bit quieter. fa la la la la, la la la la.

    Not quiet enough? Well, you could pay me to stop, of course image

    Had fun singing, would have headed over to So'ton afterwards for the feast if I'd known in time, Geoff!

    Have just discovered I have no spare Christmas cards so can't start mine until I get some from the library tomorrow. And buy stamps. Not from the library.
