Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2024

That’s marvellous Mr @PatE I’m sure she’ll manage with a bit of tuition. Have a look at the New Posts and Spy options on the green bar at the top. I’ve found them helpful.

 

Hi all

A lovely sunny day, but gardening time is short, watching the rugby will take up most of my day.

 

I’ve sent you an email Victoria have you seen it ?

 

Yes, will reply later. Vxx

 

Morning everyone

The sky is blue, the sun is out and I have more plants to cut back. It’ll be nearly time to get our order for the mulch mountain in. So exciting to see my old plant friends emerging from their slumber - makes me smile every time.

its a few pages back, but I definitely have “dock envy” @redstar - its absolutely beautiful

 

Good morning all, especially @Victoria, @Flumpy, @redstar and @Upsydaisy. I hope the shock of all us new posters won’t upset your enjoyment of this thread?

And good morning to all the familiar names from GW! Such a relief to find so many of you here. It’s felt very weird for the last couple of days, I’d imagine a bit like having just moved house, and waking up to find everything is different.
However, the lovely welcome, and all the offers of help, have made me feel very positive.
Nothing thrilling planned for the day. Rain expected at intervals, but I’ll try to get out in the garden for a couple of short spells. I think OH will be settling in front of the rugby for the afternoon. I’m sure I’ll be spending a while on here too, finding my way through the new system.
Have a good weekend.

 

Morning all! Is GW just closing temporarily or for good ?

 

I’ve actually started to reclaim my garden this morning, after a year of neglect while I’ve been looking after my badly injured son. I’ve attacked Rosa Bonica and some rampaging honeysuckles with secateurs, and cut some Type 3 clems hard back It feels good … that’s probably enough for today tho’ … got to watch this back … don’t want it to ping again before I go and collect my car ….

 

GW forum is closing for good @Flumpy. Good to see you … a familiar face

 

Morning all . Just popping in while I have a cuppa before getting stuck into the garden, it's a lovely day here!

 

My broad beans are flowering! I sowed them direct in the veg patch in October. Thing is, the wood pigeons are keen on the leaves …, I’d better get something sorted to deter them

 

Good morning folks.

I feel so grateful to have this fabulous forum. As part of mindfulness and my life philosophy, it is important to be grateful and also to relish and cherish the small things in life. What I, and many of us from the GW brigade, have realised this week - is that having a fellowship on a gardening forum is actually quite a big thing.

I hope everyone is doing ok and will have something positive or enjoyable going on this weekend.
