On Wednesday I semi cleaned my shed out! lol Had to get room for planting seeds so cleared a lot of things away. Got the seeds planted yesterday with help from Rick. Some were seeds taken from my own plants and some were kindly sent to me from various GOY members. Thanks to all who did :)))))))))

SPent about 2 hours getting it this tidy..still got lots more to sort out, but not yet lol

Pots all ready for panting seeds

Seeds all planted and Rick gives them a good spray of water. Then we covered them with a sheet of perspex incase any mice get in there!

Walking back up to the house found that Loves Knot had a bud on it. Been about a month since any roses were on this one..Quite a few buds there about to come out.

The Rockrose has all of a sudden started blooming


Rick’s Rose is flowering profusely!!!! and the smell is divine.

I have some seeds of anyone wants
Aqualegia
Rudbeckia
Foxglove
Cosmos
Hollyhocks

Not too many of them but anyone is welcome.
The Dark CHocolate coloured Poppy did not give me any seeds I’m afraid Sue

Great job done Pixi and Rick :). Nice that the roses are flowering again for you. I don't have the patience to do seeds, well done.
I tidy my sheds around every 2 weeks but they always get untidy again!
BTW the Brunnera is getting a bit bigger do you want it just now or wait til spring? Either way suits me?
That's the plant that the slugs hate in case you don't remember :)))))))

Every two weeks!!!!!!!!! Have you got OCD? lol
Yes I remeber about the BRunnera..what do you think?
Either way for me, but I dont know when it would be best to put it in? :)))))))

Well done, my shed is never to bad at this time of year, its about end Febuary/March when i have to get in and tidy it up, as in winter all i do is when i have to put something in it,as its so cold i just stick it in and dont bother putting it away proper as its to cold to mess about, then when i do go to tidy it i can hardly get in the door let alone get in the shed itself.

I need to tidy every two weeks Pixi, son, nephew and neices just open the door and dump everything at their backsides!!! They have all been banned from the shed before :))
I'm quite happy to keep them going here til spring - so maybe best. That frost this morning was pretty bad!!

6 Nov, 2011

 

omg lolol! ban them again!
Yeah forsty over here too ..cut down a bit of the tree i couldnt reach..Rick bought me longhandled loppers! :))
