GWRS do you have anything to do with the bulb industry in your area? I remember when working at a horticulture based firm here that we sent equipment to Spalding and other Lincs. addresses where growing was quite an important industry.
Guernsey D , simple answer no , lots of bulbs still grown , it looks quiet spectacular to see a field full of daffs & tulips etc . Opium poppies also look special
Raining for all of yesterday and most of today, so sown some seeds in the GH - dianthus, rudbeckia and verbena. I hope to get out tomorrow, but I fear it will still be a bit soggy in the garden.
We actually have a bit of rain after a long dry spell. I've had some late, impulse buy bulbs saokig in water for a few days waiting for frosts to pass and have just planted most up in a small trough and a large square pot - helped by kittens. Just waiting for the last coat of varnish to dry on my new terracotta pot so I can plant the last bulbs - perfumed poeticus daffs and some miniature glads. Not the great blousy Dame Edna sort.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

managed to get out to plant a couple of fruit trees purchased from local supermarket today and noticed my neighbour has appeared to have killed a kerria i had by our joining fence.It has been there for 25 years but has mysteriously died I am very anti the use of chemicals.
Apart from letting his tyres down any other suggestions ?
Did some gardening yesterday afternoon , was hoping to finish the job today but c/h boiler packed in last night so waited in for British Gas this afternoon to fix it , again excellent customer service

Cut out some of the old wood from a gooseberry and blackcurrant bush and a bit of weeding.

Had a walk round, in the sun, to see which bulbs were through and which plants were coming into growth.
