Why dont u pot up some Brought Bulbs San? Iv done that lots in the past & its much cheaper ;)

5 Oct, 2009

 

i do have a few pots done jacque, but your right think i will do some more and save some money, thanx :o))

You have lots of colour for October San, including a late Lupin. I recon the general consensus is to hang on to everything even if it only seed heads, Winter's long enough. I leave Astilbe, Echinacea, Hydrangea ect. better than just soil to look at.

thanx heron, your right, i hate it when no flowers left i have plenty of lupin seeds this year to, so im happy, one of my favourite flowers :o)

Lovely Sandra. You have so many plants still in flower. It's nice to see them. I'm looking forward to the bulbs aswell. Spring and autumn are my best seasons

6 Oct, 2009

 

Good old Baz - less of the old Dan!!

Ali has gone in this morning for her 6-monthly check up so I have an idea of your anxiety as she always goes quiet the day before.

Chin up and you'll be out feeling stronger within weeks, I'm sure.

Thinking of you both. Cup of tea while you're home Baz!!!!

6 Oct, 2009

 

thankyou hywel glad you like them, yes i love spring everything is so fresh and colourfull :o)
Dan, i do unerstand what Ali is feeling, im the same even though my checks are 4 year gaps now, its just that little niggling feeling in your head when the time comes, im sure she will be fine, but it is a releaf when that check is over,
your a good man and know you care about Ali sooo much
take care good wishes to Ali from myself and baz xx

6 Oct, 2009

 

I'm sure it will still be in colour when you return home. Hope you won't be away from GoY for too long. Look forward to seeing your pics again.
