Glad the cake was a success, Janie.

Evening all. yet another day of April showers and a bit nippy out if truth be told. Possibility of frost tonight so the plants I've had out 24 hrs for a few days have been stuck under cover. Better safe than sorry.

Potted on some onions which doesn't sound like a lot of work but with compost to mix and plants to stake, it takes a fair bit of time. Also potted on a couple of dozen celery plants and hopefully I'll get some on the bench later in the year.

My resident blackbirds cost me three quid as I had to restock their suet with mealworm whatsits. I don't grudge it, it's lovely to see them in the garden.

I cleared a 5" square piece of ground, tiny innit , and planted up the twelve alchemilla mollis plants that had rooted there. There are hundreds of the little blighters. Had a look at fleabay. They are being sold on there for silly money especially since the self propagate like weeds. Not sure if I can be bothered.

time for my evening fly cup

Good evening.
We had a beautiful sunny day again today.
Went out for dinner this evening with our friends and then on to see Roy Orbison, the hologram show.
It was amazing with a fantastic orchestra.

Evening all. I'm off cake for a bit - about a month off running combined with too much food on holiday has made it a necessary sacrifice

Fell asleep on sofa, woke up, remembered I had to make packed lunches, started on that, then youngest fell out of bed! Now sitting with youngest while they go back to sleep.

Nice day, mammoth shop, some seed packets somehow fell into the trolley OH mowed front lawn, and I did a bit of weeding. Pooch off to the vet tomorrow for jabs and a check up.

Night night all....

[Greenleaves]

Morning All

Cold wind and rain this morning 3°

Protected a lot of my seeds yesterday in the greenhouses over the plots so hopefully all will be well. Roll on the second half of the week

Happy Monday all

[Cadalot]

It's been raining and P-ing down all night the wind is up as the windmill in the garden is rotating and the threes are swaying so not a lot of gardening related stuff going to get done today!

Its between 4 - 4.6C in the Space Saver so the tomatoes are not going to be happy and the cucumber and butternut squash sown last week are likely to just sit there not germinating. I'm getting royally peed off with the weather and lack of progress this year.

I may have to bring the Cucumber and Squash in doors and fire up the grow stations again

[Snoop Puss]

Really chilly here last night. I'm pretty sure there was a frost (tell-tale puddles that only occur when we've had frost on the roof), though I got up too late to see it. Brought the tom seedlings in and just as well.

Not much fun to be had today, just work. But never mind: work represents money in the bank eventually.

Hope you all have a jolly day.

[Thelma Sanders]

Yes depressing wind, rain, 5C today and 3C forecast for tonight. All the tender plants that could be moved were brought in yesterday evening and will sit on the dining room table 'til tomorrow when it's forecast to warm up a bit, at least.
Thought I had another tub of milk, but no so reconstituted dried milk today in my tea *sigh* and Coffeemate for guess what?

I'm not going out - I just looked and the footpath is flooded again

Have a good'un whatever you're doing..

Morning, it's a beautiful sunny morning here, sorry guys! Had a look out about 4.30am and it was frosty but that had gone by the time I got up. My little friend is still here, it's nothing to do with lack of food rary as both neighbours still have their feeders filled to the brim. He has a friend and is doing all the right moves but she's just not interested! Don't think I'm the only one being driven crazy by him as I heard next door out clapping their hands about 7am yesterday morning, presumably to give him the hint to get lost!
Anyhoo, off to the supermarket and then more domestics, including some ironing, yuk! Hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are doing and whatever the weather...it's to be warmer for the bank holiday weekend...yay!!

[Nicos]

Mornin n'alln'all
Well...cold and sploshy here...not nice at all
Can't decide between ironing board or chutney...or light the fire, put on a film and start handsewing....
The first 2are more pressing at the moment...the second is more inviting isn't it???

Ah well....might just bob over to a friend's for a quick coffee instead!
See ya later peeps...
those of you with the nice weather...enjoy..
Those who had frosts...hope yr plants/blossom are OK...

* passes snorkels and brollies to everyone else

See ya later peeps....

I am off to the park for a long walk and then back to my garden.
Have a good day all.
Better weather is on the way.
