    Morning all.:spinning:

    Up with the lark again.:thud:

    Managed to re-pot about 50 strawberry plants, have done over 120 in all, getting
    them ready to start doing boot sales again. Got my 'Romanesco' cauliflowers in as well.
    Cabbages going in today, and finally getting round to sowing my pumpkin seeds.

    Hope everyone has a good day, keep taking the tablets and rubbing in the gel!

        Aloha everyone,

        I hope you all are feeling well :grphg: - or, at least, better than yesterday :heehee:

        Wow! Yesterday got hot and it topped 77F :phew:

        We got a lot done in the garden, but slower than usual.

        We've been invited to a posh local hotel this morning to see all the info about the new most luxurious cruise ship built to date. We're going with a group of friends and we have no intention of booking to go on her. We're just nosey :lunapic 130165696578242 5: - and it's a very nice posh hotel :snork:

        I have bridge club this afternoon so no gardening today. Well, I might get a little in this evening after bridge. :)

        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

        Aloha!

            Morning all

            Was really hot here too yesterday but should be a bit cooler today so I'll finally get that grass cut

            Enjoy your trip out Shiney, hope there's some nice refreshments provided

            Hmm, a visit to a nursery and Loli won't be buying anything, anyone taking bets? :snork:

            That's some amount of strawberry plants liliana. Hope they sell well

            Good wishes to all, hope everyone is well. Have a great day

                Aloha everyone,

                I've got fed up watching the news so am typing quietly on the computer just by the light of the screen :). Don't want to wake Mrs Shiney :yawn:

                I hope everyone that has been under the weather is feeling better than they have been. :grphg:

                Another busy day today. This morning a group of us are going to pick up the marquee and then erect it in the garden. Normally we do it just a few days before Open Day but the man in charge of it is going on holiday tomorrow :doh:. So it will make it harder for me to mow the lawn once it's up. :phew:

                This afternoon I'm chairing a big AGM in town.
                [​IMG]

                We had to remove a 10ft high ceanothus aand one of our dogwoods yesterday as they had died :cry3: Last year we lost a lovely, very large, Japanese maple and our Phytolacca.

                The tidying of the garden is coming on well and someone has just offered to do half a day of weeding for us. :)

                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                Aloha!

                    Morning all.:spinning:

                    Managed to get quite a bit done yesterday, repotted a few plants, and got some more seeds
                    sown, all done sitting down!:blue thumb:

                    Saw my doctor yesterday, have had a really bad back with Sciatic pain down my left leg
                    for 2 months, now got to have a blood test and x-ray. Had Osteoporosis for quite a few years,
                    I think I am due a review to see what is happening, yet another thing:thud:

                    Well, Lolimac, spill the beans, what did you buy?:th scifD36:

                    Going out to buy some compost today, what excitement:yikes:, a couple of 120 litres
                    should do me, for all my plants for the boot sales. I expect we shall have more,
                    OH is getting our boxes ready for this years tomatoes, and I have 2 large polystyrene
                    boxes for root crops, our soil is too stony for them.

                    Also got an appointment with the nurse in the weight management clinic, see if
                    I have lost any weight the last month, I bet I have put on this month, as I have
                    been eating a lot of naughty things, being fed up with what has happened lately.:nonofinger:
                    Still, che sera,sera. I have lost a stone already, so I am pleased with that.:blue thumb:

                    Hope everyone is aching and paining less today.:)

                    Have a good one peeps.:dbgrtmb:

                      Good morning everyone,

                      Shiney..That's a coincidence re the dogwood ,my Mum has a dog wood which looks like it's going the same way and next to it is a large Forsythia which did flower this year but has now fizzled out completely so they'll need removing,I wonder if there is something about?they've been stalwarts of the garden for years or maybe they've come to the end of their time:dunno:

                      I got so engrossed in the weeding yesterday the time had moved on before I realised:rolleyespink: so didn't get to the nursery but I''m definitely going today...just to look don't forget;)

                      It's beautiful out there in the garden this morning,only one thing to spoil it though,a huge pile of feathers on the lawn,looks like Mrs Hawk has been for breakfast and there's only one young stoggie wandering around now:sad:

                      Have a great day everyone and take care:SUNsmile:

                        Good Morning everyone,

                        Lili, sorry you are still suffering. Loli, that darn hawk needs shooting. I guess it is real life though. Poor wood pidgeons. I am still aching along my shoulders but otherwise ok. I am late taking Amber out this morning so must get my shoes on and get going. I have my eye appointments later this morning which I am not looking forward to.
                        Have a good day all, take care of yourselves, God bless.:wub2:

                            Aloha Woo and everyone,

                            It's quite sunny here at the moment and no sign, yet, of the promised rain. It seems that it will stick around the southern parts of London and counties alongside. That won't please Mrs Shiney as she's off to Savill Gardens today.

                            The marquee is up and I mowed around it. :blue thumb: It was very hot work as the sun shone brightly all day.

                            Another busy admin day today - another AGM. They're just like London buses, they all come along together :heehee:

                            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                            Aloha!

                              Morning all

                              Cloudy here with rain due this afternoon. Was going to plant out lots of bedding today but the forecast gives a very heavy rain warning for late afternoon so I think I'll wait till tomorrow so they don't get battered or washed away

                              How did the eye appointment go Moyra?

                              Did you get to the nursery Loli? Fess up, what did you buy?

                              Hope everyone is well or on the mend

                              Have a great day
