In for the day now. Husband decided he wanted to go and do the weekly food shop in between tidying the garden up, so we now have food, but he quickly ran out of puff once we got home, and the tip had closed. So, we've still got a bit to get rid off, but it is looking tidier, and is a good starting point.
Pat - Vendée, end of September but 3 day trip tomorrow with a van to take essentials for camping in a couple of weeks while we paint bedrooms and decide what's going where ready for the move.
Joyce - at the rate I'm going I shall need a van for plants but I wanted the bindweed bed cleared so I could put back all the ones I'm not taking that are currently lurking in pots or a nursery bed in the veggie plot. Some roses, clems, shrubs, hostas and agapanthus in pots, the gunnera I've been nurturing along and loads of hemerocallis, hardy geraniums, geums and hardy perennials I haven't found listed on nursery sites near the new garden and a tray of pots of snowdrops to start me off for a winter garden. I've got hamamelis on order and there will be more clems cos I haven't found a supplier for those either.
Time to get showered before dinner now.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
I took hardwood cuttings off of my Rosa filipesx something else, and two seem to have taken. They have flowers on anyhow. I now need to find a safe home for them so that I can have cuttings back if we have to move at the wrong time of year. I distribute my treasures around relative's usually so that I can have some back if I lose mine. Sister in law has moved into an acre of wet Wales. I wonder if she would like the wild look.?
Has anyone got an email for Panda? Bit worried now.
I put more stuff through the shredder. I may need more builders bags. Three full at the moment.
It spotted with rain here for five minutes, but not enough to wet anything. Still hot hot hot.

Obelixx, ask politely if they'd mind if you took "a few treasures" from the garden, dig the whole lot up and leave the bindweed!
...Maybe not the Kiftsgate... Need a helluva van!

evening all.
I have to say, I'm quite taken with the new system on Deliver. Handset / phone, / customer order/ sat nav/scanner/ everything one needs.
Nice to know some upgrades are successful and user friendly.
The heavy drizzle of earlier has been replaces with steady light rain.
Having a cuppa then might head for the tunnels.

Thanks for the gen on Mrs KC Tbird ......I planted them a little further back than planned
successful day of planting and potting on. Noticeably cooler here - about to head out for another walk before dinner. Might need a waterproof
