    Morning all.

    Anyone remember the Panorama "Spaghetti Harvest" ?   It was remembered on Radio 4 this morning by the chap who thought it up.

    It was me visiting with firends PapiJo....image

    Morning all/afties Pat - take it easy for a few days and you'll catch up in no time. Glad the toe's on the mend  image

    Welcome Loana - think I posted on that thread where you mentioned your pea loss. Just sow more anyway - you won't regret it when they flower. Put some traps down at the same time.....image

    I spent too much time, in a former life, being involved in a different world of showing, so if I never did it again it would be too soon! Good luck though image

    They mentioned the spaghetti hoax on the news Joyce. Brilliant!

    Nutties were at the feeder earlier - haven't seen them for a few days. Hope they have a nest somewhere nearby. Did a lot yesterday, after it cleared up, including a bit of mortaring of path slabs round the side, so hopefully I'll get more done today if the weather plays ball. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Hopefully  they're cosying up and thinking 'thoughts of spring' Hosta.  Not seen mine either so I'm hoping that's the reason. The nutties had been absent all this week while I've been off and that's unusual, but that one was in there today. Fingers crossed for lots of little (Easter) eggs   image

    Got a heap of compost to shift this weekend - so must focus, no faffing allowed.  Apart from maybe a spot of seed sowing and seedling pricking out....busy, busy.

    Hope you enjoy the show Loana, and your tulip steals the show.

    I want fairies/UFOs in my garden .....is there anything special I need to do to attract them image

    Chicky - have frequent rests while you are moving the tons of compost.  Don't want you doing your back in.  

    Love the purple of the auricula.
