The hellebore was already here when we moved here - all been a bit of a journey of discovery over the year but I do intend to plan it all from now on. At least that is the idea!
I have a pink trug and love it! I don't need to replace my wheelbarrow yet but a pink one would be lovely. Bjay, where did you buy it?
Oh dear...remember seeing the Dambusters when it first came out. Did you know about the manmade lake where they practised?
Geoff - good news that it is 4 minutes a day. Don't ask me to do the maths as never was any good at that!
Did you plan not to go anywhere today, Geoff? I didn't either and love home days! Mind you I think I shall have to get supper on the move soon as I can feel a few aches and pains starting up from my exertions today!
Thanks for reminding me of weed suppresant name too
Just finished watching Geoff Hamilton Paradise Gardens and had an idea front garden wise.
It's on news showing Dunelly where Doves family lived. How frightening.
Any way front garden, on the window side bright colours - red/yellow/orange under window - but in centre a large round bed full of grass for year round colour but with wild type flowers, a central interest 0belisk? standard holly or something, On caravan parking. plain wall side shrubs - low maintenance but also reflecting the other side with big bold colours, Opinions please?
I have a large box of wild flower mix bought by mistake so could use that.
That idea would also make it quirky. i like quirky

it is 4 minutes a day-2 minutes each end-if it was a minute a week it would still be dark at 5.30 in June-you do the math.
The word/phrase you were looking for is weed suppressant membrane
I haven't been anywhere-again-today

Sasha, only because they were in the sales and I like a bargain.
Dambusters practised on a few different reservoirs including Derwent. Interesting entyr on WIkipedia with lots of info.

I1973 - perhaps I should have worded that differently. The exertions were gardening ones....nothing else
