Topbird glad you feel better, it's been a nasty one this bug hasn't it?
Fairy we have tried many times, and in many places but the effort required and the disappointment over the years have not been worthwhile we had two that were doing well in pots in the courtyard but two naughty puppies had fun one day
have a good day

Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” A A Milne
Loved the hare picture Pat! HRH looks just as cute with her new haircut, think I'd be zonked after a grooming session too!
Chicky, hope the talk was interesting, share any pearls of wisdom please!
Fairy, I don't have any Hellebore's in my garden at all! think I'm going to look into getting a couple for next year!
Obelixx and BusyL, glad power has been restored! Kitchen renovations sound as though they are progressing well Obelixx
Have a nice time at tennis Dove, no overdoing it!
Topbird....you too! Dont do too much or this bug comes back!
Lilyp, I'd never grown a camellia before but rescued a no label dead stalk from the range two years ago and have it in a pot in a sheltered spot. It flowered last year and its a lovely buff cream colour they really are lovely flowers aren't they!
Hosta, lucky you with those bargains!
Lirio, well done with the pruning marathon! Not sure I'd like being an exhibition piece whilst at work either! You could have handed out tools to them all!
PPam, hearing about your Labrador reminded me about our old family dog, Boss dog, a soft big black Lab. He was too affectionate to chase anything!
SGL, if we get fish and chips for dinner, you can babysit me anytime and I will sing when I wake if there's chips too!
GWRS, hope you have some nice allotment weather today!
LG, the pergola may try and go up today, I'm going to need to find that Jasmine plant you suggested soon!
Pdoc, you decided between Kylie and OH yet for your island companion? I believe Kylie already has some shorts!
Yvie, lawn mowing!? No chance here it would be more like ploughing with all the rainwe have had!
Beausmum, I'm in for Kew too!
Clari, we haven't forgotten you! If your at work looking in, hope the house renovations are shaping up well and that you and Reggie will be living in the lap of luxury soon!
If your looking in Bushman, hope your well and looking forward to some nice sunshine
Did a marathon kitchen tidy yesterday, bought bits I need to make blind for the bedroom and have gathered sledgehammer and post knocking in thingy...(technical term) and am awaiting papa womble to advise and assist in pergola construction watch this space! And maybe wish me luck!
I've been using my phone too for the last month or so, but treated myself to a new tablet last week. Still getting used to finding my way round and think I might turn off predictive text again lol
Windy, cloudy and hissing down here in Sussex Don't want to wish the months away but getting fed up with this weather now.
Morning Hosta, Dove, Chicky, LilyP, Topbird, Fairy, BM, Wonky, SGL and Punkdoc (phew!) and everyone else yet to come - and hi Pat!
I think that's why it's so difficult to reply to everyone, if you're not one of the first few posting here in the morning. But Fairy's suggestion of opening Forkers again, in a new tab, is BRILLIANT!! Thank you. I've done it and it makes all the difference - I can keep this open, and look back at previous pages on the other tab to my heart's content.
Glad you're both on the mend, LilyP and Topbird. Now don't overdo it!
Dove and SGL - new technology... ...hope you're better at mastering it than I am...
BM, I haven't looked for the Kew thread yet. But I will... haven't been for maybe 45 years, about time I had another visit; and meeting some of you would be a bonus.
Wonky, don't forget the spirit level for constructing your pergola! Looking forward to progress reports in due course...

Hi all.
Windy and wet, I suppose more than 2 gardening days would be too much to ask for.
Seed sowing I think.

Hahaha Beaus Mum...brilliant picture! If that doesn't sort Pdoc's pulse, don't know what will!
Still raining at the moment Lirio
I won't take a picture of that, think we are all only too familiar with what rain looks like by now!
