After being grumpy last night that the weather wasn't going to be up to much... I am in the middle of a hat-on lovely day gardening. Just having a break to put antiseptic on some scratches then it's back to the rockery by the pond which is being relieved of ivy, Carex and a an old Hebe.
Had to start my day with a trip to the vet with Cosmos after all as he woke up snuggly but not purry and was favouring his back leg again. No obvious damage so anti-inflamatory jab and meds plus rest for 15 days. Ha! Had a toasted hot crss bun and coffee then headed off to the plant fair later than planned.
Very chilly in teh breeze and lots of tomato and other veg seedlings on offer plus some gorgeous irises - only 10€ - and peonies - 39€ and an acer for 125€. Yikes!
Decided to stick to more reasonably priced perennials which I'd either grown successfully before but not had room or time to bring bits with me, ones that had proved too nesh in Belgium and one or two that just intrigued me.
Just watering them this pm and then staying warm as I have a hurty myself. Right palm blocking up with spasms up my forearm so rest for me too and maybe a doc next week.
Busy - you sound very organised as ever.
Chicky I love carrot cake and have several recipes including ones with cardamom spicing, banana, chocolate.......... Let me know if you're interested.

Pat, I am so sorry to hear about HRH. You will miss her dreadfully but you gave her a wonderful life and I am sure she loved you just as much as you her.

Some good buys Obelixx. Rest definitely required for your arm. We all "go at it" at this time of year and forget to take a break.
I have found that tiarella flowers droop in too much shade but stay upright in semi-shade.
have lots of brunnera Jack frost...in flower just now......great for lighting up shady areas.
Me too
was toasting hot cross buns when it went off hubby tried reset but nothing Scottish power coming out but could b few hours ???
Are the hot cross buns toasted? Priorities! Priorities!
Could you light a little bonfire in the garden and use a border fork as a toasting fork?
Shall I make you some coffee?
