Hosta - your plan for moving the rock sounds dangerous but workable. Get some muscle to help you and keep all sticky-out bits of your body well clear. I like ropes and would use them to hold it where it needs to stay and apply force where necessary.
FGS do not try it on your own, hostafan. I have visions of you trapped underneath with no one around to find you. I am not even allowed up the big ladders when hubby is not here to hold them. It sounds like a three man job to me.
Name and shame, punkdoc. Otherwise, have a lovely trip to North Yorks. Pack your thermal undies, it's nippy out there.
Hosta - we have one of those concrete BBQ things with stand, fire space and chimney all built in. Told OH we were going to move it by rolling it along on 4" round posts and he scoffed. So did the 2 chaps we got to help liftone end up to insert the first couple of rollers.
It worked a treat and the BBQ has been in its new home for years - in a corner of the terrace and backed up against the retaining bottle wall they also all scoffed about but which has been there nearly 20 years now............ and much admired.
Cool and grey out there. Have to shopping with Possum and general admin but definitely gardening tomorrow. Thumb is hugely improved now I've removed the shard.
Have a good one everyone.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Hosta, get someone to move that rock for you. You've only just had your knee done. And as Beaus said, you might enjoy the view
Pdoc, sorry to hear you had such an unpleasant PM. Big hugs.
I sent you a PM last week. Not sure if you got it, as my PMs are still playing up. But it was asking you stay and thanking you for kindness in the past. xx
Have a lovely break with your OH and happy anniversay.

Can anyone identify this morning's visitor?
Muscovy duck. You don't see them very often now. Must be someone's pet.

It's flown off now

Have a good day everyone, TTFN x
Right chaps. I want to the stone moved roughly where the foxglove is , between the variegated shrub and the marsh marigold.
If you click on the photo of the rock then use the little magnifier, you can see a little asplenium fern on the bottom left. ( hopefully)
Beautiful pics Hosta, love your garden.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Hosta DO NOT MOVE that rock!!!! Which is enormous!!
You'll be back in hospital if you do. And we'll get Dove to smack you
That's a big rock.
