Forcast for next 5 days GREY..........Grey and yet more Grey!!

Wow.... wonderful choice of books :o)

lots of good reading to do for you both dotty,you will be experts by the time you have finished them, :o)

I've found the Will Giles book very useful, especially if read in conjunction with 'Exotic Planting for Adventurous Gardeners' by Christopher Lloyd

I admit I do love my books and you have a smashing selection there Dotty, enjoy them.....

I had my books out last night Dotty, I have the Christopher Lloyd book Andrew mentioned and I love it, even started writing a list.. Great choice of books you have there.. wishing you a Happy Reading weekend X

Smashing books you have there Daisy, the times right to sit indoors and read them :o)

Sandra x

Lots of nice books there. I'm sure you'll enjoy browsing through them. Good luck with your theme.

Enjoy your time reading such a great selection of books Dotty....Monty Don's Ivington Diaries is one I have been thinking about buying too. A few more weeks and we'll be too busy to be reading.....:o)

great books..we have nearly finished our greenhouse and are planning the interior.....the seeds are moving in first but then we are going to build a raised bed each. julian is taking up the shady area at the back for a jungle bed....and im having the south facing window side for a succulent bed. ..so the books are out here too.

Mmmmm, some lovely books there.......enjoy :-)))

Great isn't it..

I prefer grey to white Dottydaisy2! You have a smashing selection of books to read.

Agree...you cannot beat a good read or two.sometimes good to look over old gardening magazines if like us you hoard them.Easy to get engrossed second time round too !

Lovely idea - staying in the warm with a great selection of gardening books.
Ah! Bliss! :-))

Dd ... you will miss summer completely if you get stuck into that lot ....... Do you want us to give you a wake-up call ..LOL......

Looks like some enjoyable evenings ahead. I think you've volunteered for that job, Amy! LOL

LOL .... we'll let them know when it's Christmas again .... :o)

Andrew agree we have C.Ls. book on exotic planting , so nothing to stop us now.....only the climate?
Joanella having something to look at does help when trying to design a jungle....
Lincs YDD thanks we were very pleased with our families collection, and we both love books.
AmbleA, Mavis it is still cold here + the rain so we have to do something, so planning is the answer.
Sandra sounds like you have big plans too? Sandra and Hywel thanks also for your comments.
Janey will let you know about Monty Dons, it did have a an excellent write up.
TT and BB you can never know everything about gardening there is always something new to learn, which is why we love it.
Spritz it is the next best thing to be doing, when conditions are like this....
Amy and Wagger that would be awful to sleep through the spring, dont you worry as soon as the sun shines we will be out there, work to do, new wellies to break in.

Feet up, a regular supply of coffee and a pile of gardening books BLISS :~)))

enjoy reading :)))

I have been to Will Giles garden its open during the summer its jungle heaven in east Anglia ....:o)))

Hey-hey, folks! There's a big round yellow thing in the sky today - does anyone remember what its name is? LOL.

It has not paid Newcastle a visit Spritzhenry.I have just ordered my geranium book can"t wait for it to come.

:-) Mavis.

I hope we all see the SUN this week! It's still shining here. What a difference walking Henry in sunshine tis morning rather than rain, even tho' it's not exactly warm.

Great books enjoy your reading..

Mushy how great, I would love to look around his garden, Clarice Grindle and Pip thanks, made a good start today...
Spritz yes saw it, briefly, but it is still blooming cold, too cold to be out for long, the papers are full of bad weather to come right up until April, I shall be demented by then, shall have to order some plants to stop me going mad lol (good excuse)

Oh, DD! What a great set of books! I'm sure you'll enjoy them...

Uma I am, spent all yesterday reading.........

great set of books dotty,, hope your a fast reader or you wont get to do any gardening lol :o))

Hi Sanbaz, I take them to bed with me now, how sad is that? (some people would say) could do with being your age, some of the plants will have to handed down to our grandchildren, because they will take many years to reach maturity. lol

lol dotty, so thats whats to come is it,, gardening in bed to :o)))

No comment.........lol

heheeheh ;o))
