  • Good to hear from you Flumpy especially now you have joined the Union!!!   I do not think the weather is going to be as good next week.  More wind and wet and not quite so warm.

    Wow GWRS that's a lot of vegyour allotment sounds really nice image.

    Marion typical that the weather is changing on the week I'm off, let's hope I get at least two dry days so I can get my jobs done.

  • Colder this morning, grey and dry but rain forecast for about 11 am so must get started soon.  plenty to do in the conservatory still if the rain gets too heavy.

  • Rain came before 10am!   So started on the table in the conservatory.  I gave it a clean cloth and brought in one wicker container which will not last another year.  Roses and salvias still flowering well.imageimageimage

    Marion , window sills looks full of pots 

    Have a good day  everybody image

  • Well done on the spring onions Flumpy.  That's what come of joining the Union(in house joke).  I have done quite a bit in the garden this morning as the drizzle has stopped and. it is quite warm.  Planted ten bulbs of Iris "Katherine Hodgkin" in a nice terra cotta pot and cut up a container full of prunings from one of the mountains to line up by the green wheeliebin waiting for Friday morning.  I managed to squeeze another two tender plants onto one of the conservatory windowsills too GWRS.  Grit is good for covering the tops of tulip pots as it stops them smelling them so they do not know they are planted there.
