    At least they're not like my Cats who make me reach for my Gas Mask after they've "visited" their Cat Litter trays

        We did the same at the weekend. I asked the wife to get some spring greens from the greengrocers and she came back with a lettuce. Never again.

          On driving back from Manchester today, I decided to drop in at the local B&Q to pick up the 500 litres of general purpose compost I need for the buckets which I use for the Green House Tomatoes. I always buy the 125 litre sacks, even though they weigh around 97lbs, as they're less "fiddly". But, on looking around, found that they'd just had a huge delivery of the 50 litre bags but the 125 litre sacks were nowhere to be seen:wallbanging::gaah:. I eventually found 4 of the large sacks "hidden" to one side of an alleyway and realised they had had a few rips in them that had been repaired with black tape even though no compost was missing or leaking out. Anyway, when I got the trolley to the cash desk I queried the damage and asked if there was a discount on them. The Assistant took one look and marked all the bags down on the price. So I paid £9 for 500 litres of compost instead of the nearly £28 I would have paid.:hapydancsmil::yes::snorky:

            It's one of those days when I just have to keep doing jobs:dunno::heehee: So, now at 9pm, I've just finished spraying and cleaning the 15 buckets that I'm using for the Green House Tomatoes with Jeyes Fluid so I can, tomorrow night, plant them up with the Tomatoes.:dunno::snorky:

                I have the same type @Spacemunkey mine are going out this weekend :)

                Went up the plot and made up 2 hanging baskets. Potted on marigolds for in the tunnel next to toms, planted out antirrhinum, a dahlia, a few glad corms and anemone coronaria. Planted celery, weeded and pulled a few radish up.

                Went back home and done 2 baskets and 3 pots with cherry toms in. Planted a poppy and a primula that should of been done weeks ago..still got 2 of each to put somewhere, more glad corms, more anemone coronaria and one of 5 ricinus communis/castor oil plant. No idea where I'll put the others. Filled up bird feeders and came in for a read.

                    Mine have been planted outside some 4 weeks ago. Mergoles for me
                    Been staking dahlias and heleniums....growing very fast now
                    Potted up crinum bulbs. Drilled drainage holes in recently bought containers and planted up.
                    Still pretty hot out there :dig:

                      I was there yesterday, M6, M56, and back along A34 via Wilmslow, Holmes Chapel to M6 again, didn't have time for B&Q.

                      Been shifting everything from the greenhouse at home to my plot, only a few plants left to go tomorrow.

                            Earthed up the spuds I had forgotten about in the one raised bed, I had 3 left after I planted up my spud bags, so just threw them in the raised bed. Planted out chard, beetroot. Sowed a couple of rows of carrots and radish. Pricked out some lupins and moved courgettes into bigger pots.

                                Morning all. I'm mostly going round and either staking or ( if past their best) pulling up some very rain battered plants. Also I have begun planting out in more sheltered spots......will be glad to regain some workable space in the greenhouse:dbgrtmb:
