Got a small one in a pot, the brambles coming over from my neghbours garden, tear you to bits.Used to have various cordalines which were a sharp as needles, then you have all the poisonous plants, oh, and I have lots of children grandchildren! and it IS actually raining, the full fat stuff today, desparately need it, BUT was hoping to do some gardening,. Last Sunday we did the South owns, Cuckmere River walk to the sea with the grandkids in t-shirts, bit different, never mind
We used to have one of those HUGE cacti, like you see in the cowboy films, Sister-in-laws Father grew it from a seed, it was about 8 feet high, he gave it to us, because he had no-where to keep it, we had it in a conservatory, outside in the summer, it flowered for the first time, (at night) the flowers were gorgeous like yellow peonies, they only last one day, it never flowered with him,only the once with us, and sadly died.
Not in a singing mood today so no "oo ah's" for Verdun as yesterday. Stockton is dull dour and dark, the three dreadful "D's", one nice thing today my Granddaughter is coming down from Newcastle to see me that brightens everything up.

If you have small children visiting your garden the usual advice is to snip the tips off the yucca leaves and fix a grid over the pond.
Mild and overcast here. Think rains on it's way.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Dull and wet glad I got the greenhouse cleaned yesterday. Oh well more time for planning.

Wet and chilly here in Manchester, should dry up by lunchtime according to BBC weather. Glad I got the grass cut yesterday afternoon
