    They're more likely to steal the sign, Michael, and leave a beer can on the floor.:dunno::snorky:

        Potted on the only solanum laciniatum seedling that germinated.
        Potted on a couple of Washingtonia robusta palms that I grew from seed I collected on holiday a couple of years ago.

          After the heavy rain eased into a thick driving drizzle, I went down to one of my Perspex shelters and repotted some Auriculas. It was not possible to do anything outside ... again !

            Arrived home after a wet and then very gusty day. First thing I saw was the sunshade had been lifted from the patio table - and completed a perfect karate chop on our little Marguerite standard bush :gaah:
            I have put it back together with Duck tape, so should be OK :biggrin:

              It feels very homily sitting in the polytunnel whilst rain pitter pats down, not that I'll be moving in mind unless I'm ordered that is :psnp:

                I cut back the old Geranium that was overflowing the front path and cutting it off. Then I started pruning the 35 year old Pyracantha at the front of the House which was also starting to bar people from getting to the Front Door:hate-shocked:, but I only managed to prune back the path side due to the fact that it's also known as Hotel Pyracantha and although I thought they had stopped nesting it still had birds residing in it, they were actually flying in and out over my shoulder.......so I stopped immediately and just put the pruning into a sack, and went for a :coffee:. It'll be August before I tackle it again.:snorky:

                          Yesterday Mrs Shiney did loads of repotting (about 50 plants), weeding and watering and feeding.

                          I pottered around talking to the runner beans, did a lot of lawn edging, weeded 300sq ft of beds and filled a wheelie bin with weeds.

                              Planted out the rest of the summer bedding, just before the heavens opened, perfect timing!
