Morning, we are in the lucky side of the country, no rain forecast.
Bought my potting compost, so I will be starting that.
Giving blood this afternoon, wish me luck. If they send out the search party for my veins right now, it might just work
Have a nice day

[Jay22]

Good morning, dull but dry, so far! A quick tidy up this morning then off to the hairdressers this afternoon. Hope you all have a lovely day.

Morning all.

Hope blood donation goes as smoothly as mine did yesterday - in and out of the session within 45mins (including drink and a biccie afterwords) which is some sort of record!

Grey and drizzly here today - one of those when I don't mind being stuck behind the desk.

Have a good day, y'all.

Morning from wet and soggy SW - its a bit sunshiny though, just a teeny weeny bit
Never mind the weather, I have 48 baby lavender plants to pot up. I thought it was only 24 so ordered 42 on another special offer. Looks like 2017 will be my Year of the Lavender instead of the Begonia in 2016.
Hope the sun shines for you all today. It should as I have all the rain!

That's a lot of lavender VC!

90 lavenders are nothing compared to

May magazine Competitions

Are the May competition questions correct? The question is "What crop is on Page 32 of the May issue", its an advert for Kings Seeds featuring 13 different crops!

[veggiechicken]

Hi Ribble Planter and welcome to the Grapevine.
I'll forward your post to the Editorial Staff who will need to amend the competition page.
The Postal entry form (page 111) says its Page 33

How about a lavender forest VC

No idea where I got the idea from...

I'm thinking of an outdoor Physalis Forest - a permanent area where they can run wild..

I want to grow a Kale
They will be tall - a kale forest.

[veggiechicken]

Cheeky but at least you remember my daft ideas
It would be a rather low forest with dwarf lavender - but I'm not very tall so I may get lost in it!
I quite fancy a lavender avenue - that sounds grand - a lavenue. Or a maze for the dogs. Hide a ball in the middle and let them run round the maze until they find it.
By the time these tiddly plants are large enough to plant out I'll have thought of summat else daft!

Evening all

Wow 20 degrees today. It almost felt like summer!

Roller arrived to flatten the greenhouse base out and its been filled with sand ready to get to work soon. Maybe after the weekend as have family coming over to prepare for.

Sat out in the garden and ate dinner today was great.

Lots of onion shoots coming up now and garlic as well. No show on the carrots though after 15 days!

Enjoy the rest of your day.
