hi guys its been a good fews days of sunshine while ive been working so was looking forward to finishing work at 12 today but as we had one of our staff off ill i stayed till 1.30, then had to see my parents on my way home which made its about 2.30, anyway we had some lunch and finally got in the garden,
then i needed some composs so went to nursery round the corner where joe works and couldnt leave with buying a couple of plants, i do try not to but i just cant do it lol
so i got 3 primular vialii which ive always fancied but never got round to buying, and also got ipomea hybrid (sweet purple heart) which i got for the almost black foilage, and another plant which didnt have a tag but liked the green with pinkish leaves,
so sneaked them in without baz noticing and got to work,
half way through and my step granchildren arrived, i said we would have them for a couple of hours while mum and dad went to bolton to pick something up,
anyway planting seeing to baby and 5 year old james was certainly an experience,, amazing how you get out of it isnt it,
wouldnt want it every day again thats for sure,
love em to bits though,
so two walks around the block later ryan finally fell asleep and i felt like joining him,
even though a busy day i enjoyed it all, so watered the garden and just got our dinner on, took a few pics of the plants and the fish


the bananna plant is what joe got me after half killing mine while i was away bless him, i love it


my fish have settled in now and coming up a bit more , also eating better, guess its strange for them at first, felt like joining them for a swim today was so warm


hope your days been good to, rain forcast tomorrow ;o(( should be going to a classic car show near by but will have to see what the weather brings

Busy day San but the pics look wonderful. Love the Vialli and if the green and pink foliage plant is the one in the 8th pic I think it is Houttonyia. Don't know whether I have spelled it correctly.. If it is the foliage may have a slight scent of oranges

5 Jun, 2010

 

thankyou pip i will check the scent out tomoz ;o)

5 Jun, 2010

 

love the frog san brill pic hope u feeling refreshed now lol

5 Jun, 2010

5 Jun, 2010

 

lol cristina thanx and yes had my soak and feel alot better ;o))

5 Jun, 2010

 

I think you were brilliant to look after two little ones that age, Sandra. I'd be flattened if it was me!

If that's a Houttuynia, be careful where you plant it - it can be a thug - a pretty one, but still a thug!

5 Jun, 2010

 

thanx barbara i had forgotten how hard two young ones were lol, just read up on plant and noticed that barbara, so will have to think carefully if it is that ;o))

5 Jun, 2010

Really enjoyed your day San......crikey, you were flat out and it's been so hot......we had a full on day, Ian installed a new door.....I planted all my fuchsias then weeded and watered, as you do, but just the two of us, all day, it was smashing...:o)

5 Jun, 2010

 

It's nice to be busy Sandra :o) I 'm glad you're enjoying the weather. I hope it lasts for ever lol

6 Jun, 2010

 

What a busy day San, hope you've recovered enough to enjoy your day at the classic car show today. It's raining here, but maybe you'll be having better weather on the coast.

6 Jun, 2010

 

We've now had our forecast changed here in Essex to rain all day to NO rain just white cloud and 19°C. Mind you had hell of a thunderstorm at 2am this morning. Fingers crossed you get no rain or not to much for the show today Sandra!

6 Jun, 2010

 

Hope you have recovered from such a hectic day. I love having my grand children coming. The two youngest live in Edinborough and i love it when they come down to stay but my... i get shattered by the end of day one. Only gardening job i can do while they are here is water the garden with the help of the 4 year old. Think she will take to gardening too. She has her own watering can here, All other garden jobs have to be put on hold until they go back. No rain here in Birmingham as yet but temperature much more comfortable. Enjoy your day at the car show San,you deserve it after yesterday.

6 Jun, 2010

 

Lovely blog and pics Sandra, isn't it lovely being outdoors at the moment, by the way, it doesn't look like houttuynia to me. why is it impossible not to buy plants lol? I'm off to Gardeners World Live At the NEC very soon, hope I can carry everything :-)

6 Jun, 2010

 

cheers janey glad you and ian enjoyed your day pottering together ;o))

silverbelle its raing here to so may not get to car show, i just went past where it is and not alot going on, so looks like they arent going to show, its such a shame , so looks like housework for me lol ;o)
hi steve glad you havent got rain yet, its stopping and starting here but that awfull fine stuff, have a good day ;o))
thankyou Rohima its lovely having the kids even though it tiers us out lol, i did sleep well i must say ;o))
cheers bornagain lol, i just nipped in nursery to check for plant name and came out with two more plants lol, the plant is Ipomoea which i have one called marguerite, but the new one is a varigated one which they werent sure of name, ive looked it up and may be pink frost, at least i know its family, its a trailing one and ground cover so will have to watch out cause it runs under ground so quite a thug ;o))

6 Jun, 2010

glad your well flori, hard work for you juggling everything with your course at moment, nice to see you even for a short visit and dont worry about catching up on pics, think its hard for most at this busy time , joe started exams today , took two and felt good about them, so im pleased ;o))

14 Jun, 2010

 

Am so pleased to hear Joe is doing ok with his exams, it's a tough time getting through these, but he sounds like he is handling it really well, San. I can't put as much time into Goy as I would like to at the moment, as cramming and writing like mad for my coursework, it will all be over by the 30th!!

15 Jun, 2010

 

thanx flori, he is off today and working at the nursery, he loves it to, not long for you to go then,, then its a good rest and relax in your garden i hope ;o)) x

15 Jun, 2010

 

I wish! Got to concentrate on my Home Study Course after this one, on Garden Design, but at least I have two years to complete it, so not quite as bad!lol! :~))x
