      Bless the little fella FC.

      Well, I had every intention of cutting the grass after work, then trimming up before tending to the baby plants. That all changed when I went to check on the neighbours house (I am house sitting for them), all his pots and containers in the back garden were in desperate need of a drink, so had that to do as well. I then went out my back garden, and one of the units on the temp cold frame had fallen over and smashed, all over the baby plants, so would need to sort that out too.

      Suffice to say, the grass still needs cutting and trimming ! Everything else got done tho' :dbgrtmb:

        Absolutely!!!!! I have no hesitation in admitting, I picked up my shovel, stared at you intently and ... demanded (!) ... "how can I heal my "Just Joey" rose? *wibble* :cry3:
        And like a trusty friend, you stood firmly by my side (metaphorically, of course :heehee:) and fought back with: Water-water-water it! :paladin:

        :love30: It flourishes :love30:

        :phew:

        Picking up a shovel and looking at *you* with serious intent was definitely worthwhile, rewarding and satisfying :heehee: :thumbsup: :pathd:

        Note to self: *think I got out of that one reasonably well* :phew: :whistle: :coffee:

            Planting out peas.

            After cutting sticks, sowing seeds, pushing in sticks, transplanting peas, watering in, we find these in B&M

                Smudge, and no - he is a Jack Russell, Chihuahua cross (either a very brave Chihuahua or a very unfortunate one!), but has more Jack traits than any.

                He is still not right today - vomited a couple of times during the day, but I am wondering if that was what he needed to get himself back to rights? I know myself if I have a bug, sometimes it takes until that point before I start to feel better. He is not otherwise bothered, and bright as a wee button, so I am not heading for the vet just yet.

                        Plant some Geum Mrs Bradshaw and lychnis x arkwrightii vesuvius grown last year from seed.
                        Planted up a couple of planters with trailing geraniums and fuchsias.
                        Left all the plants out tonight temps not dropping below 12'c tonight :hate-shocked:
