Rainy day today, but got a lot done yesterday - planted up shrubs in the new border, took out the second pond and started backfilling it, got the new long planter my H made for me nearly ready for planting up (ran out of compost!)
Today I'm picking up my order from Dorset Perennials, getting more compost to finish filling the planter (and if the weather improves, will plant up my climbing rose and honeysuckle in there). If it's all rained off, I'll be doing some armchair gardening instead, on the computer
HI Steve - great minds think alike - I did that, but not quite enough obviously, as I still ran out! It's a really big planter (1.8 metres long) so I'm too lazy to take it out and do it again...
Good morning everyone. Bit achey this morning but worth it
I like the sound of all your new plants liri and hope you had a trolley for transporting them on the train! The peach Saxi sounds really lovely and I may have to look it up as seem to have a peach theme going in my front garden
this morning with the newly dug bed it is like a scene from the film birds! Hope they leave me some worms do their work

Morning all.
Have to go out this morning, but rain isn't forecast so should be able to do some gardening this afternoon.
Morning everyone!

If you're short of potting compost, KBG, why not put a layer of sieved soil in the bottom where the weeds won't germinate? (Much).

just having cup of tea and then will get cracking
Morning all.
What a stupid time to be awake when I've no need.
Grey and dreech out and I was hoping to carry on my new project. Maybe it'll brighten up later, otherwise it's the polytunnel for me.
Sorry keen forgot to say hope you are not aching too much today as you did fab by the sounds of it yesterday and can't wait to see pics
Hosta it's perfect time to wake up! You have full day of pottering to do today and then you will sleep well tonight
What is your new project?
I'd rather have slept well LAST night, than the prospect of to-night. tee hee.
Bird in the hand and all that eh?
I wish I did like waking up early, but I just feel cheated of more sleep.
