Godness Hostafan. I hope you do rest properly and recover pronto.
Mrs G - good luck. i hope your production goes well.
No gardening here as we're freezing again but my cake experiments were brilliant and so was our Boogie class. More freezing tomorrow so the only gardening I'm likely to get done is feeding the birds and maybe washing seed trays for when I start my chillies and toms next month.

Good luck with the propagation Mrs G - hope all goes well
Take it easy Hostafan - carrying on like a mad b**g*r won't make spring come any sooner you know!
Lovely to see so many flowers today - I'm glad I planted some stuff for winter colour & fragrance - really lifted the spirits to see it in the sunshine today.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Yesterday. I cut down a monster honeysuckle. I still need to dig up the roots. There were so many vines it was like a Harry potter plant. Every time I moved I got wrapped up in it. I was tripped up a few times. I cleared the vines and dead crocosmia from and untouched area of the garden. I discovered a plant which I think could be lads love. (Hint don't do a google image search to double check this) Unfortunatly it was so tangled up in vines. I didn't realise I had broken the stem and taken every thing above ground of it away. Does anyone know if I will grow back?
There were also lots of bulbs struggling under the mass of vines and leaves on top of them. Dug up lots of crocosmia bulbs. They where planted pretty much everywhere, then left to there own devices for over 15 years. The bit I concentrated on yesterday, I will be planting Nerines in. Its right out side my French doors. So I will be able to see a splash of autumn colour from the comfort of my chair.
Just lovely to get outside. Heavy rain so far this morning.
Good luck Mrs G dont forget photos of baby G. Def need to get kneeling pad Hostafan, hope the knees get better.
Gardened this morning for a couple of hours. Reshaped a bed and removed turf, then glysophated a load of b***dy japanese anemones that refuse to go away.

Good luck Mrs G
Hope all goes well, and no further encouragement is needed
Started digging for early potatoes. Cleaned one bed of strawberries and bagged the dead leaves from same. No gardening until Saturday

Yey!
Was able to plant all my 200+ bulbs at the weekend. Only 1 left, a Foxtail Lily.
Ordered myself a heather propagator at the weekend too.
Good work Bubba Ray. I have been eyeing up a fox tail lily myself.
