Afternoon n'all.
Am back from food shopping -most things are unpacked and sprayed with dettol or washed in soapy water. Feels good to have a decent stock in for the next couple of weeks.
its been lovely and warm here too -be nice to have a few more days like this now we've had all that rain.

Good afternoon, again coffee break just now, then I will be finishing of preparing a tub for growing peas, I started with a thin layer of compost then scrunched up 5 newspapers which I have now soaked with a seaweed solution and covered with another layer of compost I think I will put in more scrunched up newspaper then top up by emptying all the tubs and baskets that I need to clean out, right break over time to get back out and Snoop I have tried sending you a message to find out what the wee speach box to the right of avitar is for

^ Thanks, Rary. In theory, I've replied. Hope you got my message.

Edited to say: Wowee, Rary! I'm positively jealous. According to those little orange bars below your avatar, you are currently "a glorious beacon of light".

Rary , what does the newspapers do ?


Well I have done most things , yet to do pricking out/potting on though. Maybe that will be tomorrow now.

I have taken some flower pics to see how it works.

[Containergardener]

Well that works well.

I am still pricking out!!
Do you think I can call my lawns meadows? The daisies and dandelions are reaching for the sky and I just don't know when I will get the chance to mow them, it does look pretty and the Bees are happy....Mother Nature is romping away and I am still pottering and pootling and pricking out!!!! Grrrrr lol

My bars are telling me I am a jewel in the rough - never has a description of me been so very accurate, I do hope it stays saying this.

Definitely a meadow peanut.
I was watching a pair of gold finches the other day feeding on dandelions. Worth keeping for that alone , love to see bees and insects on what tend to be known as weeds.

Oh my goodness! I watched a Goldfinch pluck up a dandelion clock, stand on the geen bit (calyx?) and pluck out each seed head and eat the teeny seed, it was lovely to see. That's it, I shall only mow a path through and let the rest stay, at least for a while. Thank you Containergardener.

Where am I, oh dear .....

Yes that's exactly what I watched them do . Didnt realise they did that.

As the tub is going to be used for growing peas I have put the newspapers in to help hold moisture and the stuff that's printed in them will save some manure I really don't know how or if it will work but if you don't try you don't know

Hang on in there, FF. It's surprisingly easy to get the hang of once you get used to the new look. Loads of people sharing tips and advice. Still the same friendly folk. Big hug.
