    runnybeak my greenhiuse thermometer says 12 degrees outside. I live about half a mile away from Marion image

    my garden and allotment are waterlogged and we've been battling flooding in the chicken run for the last few days image all I have managed to do in my garden recently is cut the dead lower leaves from my big cordyline. All of my cordylines, palms and olive trees are still outside. They should have gone in the greenhouse in October/November time

    Oh Yes I have read it several times.  Be lovely no doubt.  Still dry in Bristol and garden has drained nicely.

    Probably too small to give you any flowers this year,flumpy.  I have not bought anything from T&M for a very long time as the service was so poor - often wrong plants sent or dead ones or died in the post.  My favourite supplier resumes sending offers by email tomorrow after the break - Secret Gardening Club .  They collect remainder plants at end of season from good suppliers up and down the country and they are delivered P&P free at a very low price within five days  Often it is overspill from Chelsea and such like so the plants are topnotch.  Members get an email of offers every week.  Looking forward to tomorrow.

    Now that it's me off, no wonder they are giving them away, think I will give them a miss then, thanks Marion : )

     What a difference a day makes. Dry as anything one day, running down the hill the next.

    Same to you Mollis!  My goodness Pat,  Your picture looks like a recipe for erosion.  Do show us a picture of it with plants growing on the hill.  Bristol has a yellow warning from the Met. office till 12 noon tomorrow for rain.  I have overflowing waterbutts everywhere in the garden.  It is still mild for this time of year though so no heating needed yet in the house.  Fuel bills should be down this year.
