Morning all, GL your polka dot dress is going to be bang on trend according to some fashion blurb I was reading over the weekend.
Bright, but still a tad windy here today.
Off to the charity shop for a bit of fun and exercise this morning.
Still pulling up lovely carrots, which is lovely cause there's nothing else. The caterpillars have decimated my sprouts. That's what happens when you go on holiday for a week .....
Have a lovely day everyone

We have blue skies and breezy, not been out yet to look for any damage.

Good morning, have you ever heard it said that the sunlight is too bright its going to rain, if so that's how it is here at present, nice and bright but there are big black clouds in the distance, so no doubt we will get rain shortly, no matter enjoy you day whatever the weather, keep safe and if driving be courteous, pass on that smile

Good morning everyone. Lovely sunny day here a bit cold but I just put on a thicker coat .
I got my new job yesterday . So I have put my notice in at my present job and have started the security checks on my new job. That takes for ages to come through.
So a busy day for me. Can't make it to the allotment today but it will give it chance to dry out a bit more. I am determined to sort my second bed out tomorrow. Kids have said they will plant the onion set at the weekend with me.
Have a good day every one

Morning all. Just back from pet assembly at school after dropping friends tortoise back at their house. Dog was mobbed by usual crowd of admirers, with the phrase "sooooo fluffyyyyy" heard quite a lot. She laps up the adoration as she's a natural celebrity.

Anyhoo, cup of tea and a change then off for a curtailed work day....

Congratulations, NVG. And yes, NS, a week's holiday is disastrous for the veg patch. I went away for a week and came back to a huge infestation of grey mealy aphids that's spreading despite all my best efforts.

As for here, the time warp has ended. Bright skies, so at least we have electricity if not rain, and the job I was struggling with is now over. Got another one now...

Have a good day, everyone.

Artnoon all.
Congrats NVG Really pleased for you.
I'm waiting for the treemen to arrive, they were coming on Thursday but are hoping to start here today. Oak tree looks very sad with its dangling branches
Must take a photo before they arrive ..............

Good afternoon, rain started about half an hour after my last post, dry now but overcast, got some wood delivered this is for making raised beds for the flowers, now I am wondering why I started the flower beds at the same time as the veg. beds Ah, now remember, OH mentioned cleaning the carpets, some day I will just do as she asks and make life easy for myself,,, no not the same fun in that plus it's never a good idea to do jobs that wives want done strait away, as they then start to think they are the boss, even if they are, no man should ever admit that, need to go boys want Fed, see you later

Here's the broken oak - hope you can see the 2 damaged branches.



Six tree men came, and working in pairs, they "pruned" 2 oaks and an ash, removing all the dead and damaged wood. Feels a lot safer in the garden now
They'll be back sometime to do some thinning of the crown and taking down an ash tree that looks a bit dodgy. On the bright side, there'll be a lot more light in the garden - and a stack of wood for the fire - and wood chippings for the paths.

Hope you're all having a good day

[veggiechicken]

You know how I keep having crazy gardening ideas?
Here's the latest - a Moplanter



All you need is a squeegee mop, leave it outside for many months, and plants will grow on it without any help!! Just think how attractive it could look seeded with flowers!!

[rary]

If I tried growing anything in a mop like that, I think it would be aimed at my head
Good evening I was out in the garage for a time this evening and I have to admit OH is right it is a bit of a mess (if anyone tries to contact my OH to show her that last statement, I will come down the telephone line to you) so tomorrow I will start clearing it out (maybe) I also have had carpet cleaning mentioned so good chance I will be in the garage and the best of it is I dont rely need to do anything she just needs to think I am when I came back in the house there was something on the TV about the Pembroke-shire coast and a group of crazy swimmers called the Bluetits for the women and Bluebells for the men I can't work out why they used those names nether one is a sea bird nor shore plant Then I have been hunting for a power supplier as I am at the end of my contract, and the difference in prices is unbelievable Well off to catch the news then have a read. Enjoy tomorrow and keep safe try and help a stranger ( I will give you my address if you want to help clean my garage) and pass on a smile Goodnight
