Morning All

Rather damp outside this morning but not entirely unwelcome, the sun and wind of recent weeks has certainly dried the top of the soil.

I will be sowing the beans, sweetcorn and courgettes today, along with anything else that takes my fancy and generally pottering around in the garden.

have a great day everyone

Morning all - up ridiculously early again. Could not get back to sleep. It's raining, grey and cold. My toms are growing, but ever so slowly. Let's hope that the forecast for tomorrow is accurate and that we will have a nice(r) day. It looks like I shall just be cooking and doing domestic stuff today. Neighbours (friends) coming round for supper tonight because there is no work tomorrow! Yay!

Hi all, I woke up early waiting for promised rain- it is drizzling- I wanted more! Using time to catch up on forums and to follow Sarico's- thank you so much- instructions on photo posting. Hoping to dig new bed later. Will send picture, she says smugly!

Funny you should say that GL...............I'm toying around with making some seed sheets out of folded newspaper so instead of just laying a strip of tape on the bed, I can lay a complete sheet of newspaper........Do you know, I don't know where these ideas come from...............

Mornin all!

Glad it's warmed up a bit, I've some planting out to do.

I accidentally bought some fruit bushes the other day

I don't seem to do well with blackcurrant bushes here...maybe too dry?....so I've bought a few to plant around the place in different aspects....may the best one win!

Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend...nice to know there's another one coming up again soon eh?

...and to follow Sarico's- thank you so much- instructions on photo posting.

It worked for me

Nicos I have about 8 blackcurrant bushes, they are huge and now the boys are older they dont eat much jam. need some recipes to use them up this year.

[Nicos]

How about making your own version of Ribena ?...it'd be great diluted in hot water in winter, poured over ice cream,Icecream ,sorbets etc?

Roitelet makes the most wonderful syrups and sterilises them in little Perrier bottles.

Cor, I wish I had more than about 20 berries from my 2 plants!

Morning all, dry you say, drizzling you say...come to my patch of the country! There has been a howling gale and torrential rain all night and it's still going on!

Have a great day all, whatever your weather!

Afternoon all, still recovering from a great night out. Had four little shorts with four gallons of diet cola.
Yep, didn't dehydrate, yep, was still wide awake at silly o'clock due to caffeine in cola, and when I did fall asleep there were numerous visits to the bathroom lol.
Upshot is, I'm getting too old for all this shenanigans, going to lose a day of my life for a few hours out. Good job it only happens once in a blue
Have a great day all, I may be falling asleep very shortly
