Think I was quite restrained, seventeen plants at one pound each! Katie's garden near Ipswich, all weekend, worth a visit if your not to far away, will post fill confession later
Doh, I meant frost had attacked the tips of the camelias not clematis. Te clematis are fine. Have potted up the pelargoniums and cut back the winter honeysuckle a little as it's gone mad. Need to trim the top of the ivy and the box trees but that will have to wait for another day.
Hubby has had his way (it doesn't happen very often) and the pond now has a pump. I said he could only put one in if he successfully bid for one that was on e-bay at less than half price. I assumed he wouldn't get it but he did. He has been up the garden playing around with the damn thing for about two hours now. I'm just waiting for him to broach the subject of fish and I'll kill him. He will probably persuade Mabel that we need some fishies in the pond and I'm not sure I'll be able to resist her big blue eyes if he tries that tactic.
On a more positive note he has booked a holiday for a week in Turkey at th beginning of June. apparently it was a bargain on the internet.
Will be back later. He has just finished the pump and wants me to admire his handiwork.
Post crossed Hosta, how cute are they. I'm not keen and Canada geese though, they make an awful mess in our local park but they are so adorable when they are babies.

Evening all, it's been....a while, I guess?
Hosta, it's well seeing you live a few hundred miles further south of me, my Hostas are just starting to poke back out of the soil.
I trust everyone has been keeping well?
It's evening already in Dundee, Jimmy??
Good to see you anyway!
There, Kayleigh, I was sure someone on here would know about that jasmine.
Hi all. Bit miffed as it's chilly out plus rain forecast tomorrow. Typical Bank Hol then!
Hosta - I didn't realise you had a Hosta World! Very impressive.
Opened bedroom curtains this morning... Ceanothus in full bloom and reaching up to the upstairs window!

Well done, Wonky. They should make a good display.
Im getting dozy, nearly midnight. Catch you all tomorrow maybe.
162 miles away from me Wonky, unfortunately :-(
Wonky, your pay rise will have paid for the plants so no guilty feelings
There is a really cold wind here now so wont venture into garden.
We've got babies.
