Have you been lazy or Buzy in this Gloriouse Weather ?

well done Dee no wonder your so tired all that work, love your pots and choice of plants to :o) and the wasp pic is fab, he matches the colour of the flower, very good, enjoy chinese

Wow, you've been busy. All I've done is re-potted my bulbs sat in the garden!

after a hectic week at work i have tried to pull out grass from the conifer bed. though i did plant some bulbs and pots up before doing the bed. i have conifer needles in places where they have no right to be !

Well done you .. love the cyclamen give such long displays and wasnt that tree fern a bargain ideal for your back garden .

Truth ? Did nothing in the garden as been hedge cutting all week and just about lift a cup of tea ...

Thanks guys..
Know what you mean BB, gardening is HARD Work but satisfying, we all Love it..
Those Conifer needles SB worse than spelks :)) yeah its hard to Do It All but it wont be long untill we have a rest from gardening..
So Sal, youv'e had a lazy day Then.. Good for you :)
And Sandra the Chinese was Delish, Prawns and Cashew Nuts Mmmm.. Im stuffed now hehe..

Looks great YDD!
The chinese sound great too!
I've been busy today too! A glorious day in Perth today! Got my path dug out at last! And got some planting done (all the yummy plants I was given on Sunday!) and even did my washing! No pics yet, it was nearly dark when I finished for the day!

now spelks, that is a word i've not heard of in a long time. good old home language.

oh Dee dont i cant eat chinese at the min with my damn gallstone lol

They're Skelfs here!

we call them splinters here, funny how differant places differant expressions

I say splinter if I'm not sure I'll be understood!

Lovely job Daisy !! Amazing what a spot of Mr. Sun can do isn't it ?? lol :-)))

Dee i've been in my garden most of the week, trimming the hedges, cutting the lawn, tidying pots etc, i'm waiting for the tomatoe plants to finish then i'm going to clean my greenhouse out, and bubble wrap inside ready for planting seeds etc, looking forward to that as some seeds need doing in February :o)))

quiet tonight on here mari, everyone must have nodded off after a hard day in gardens with sunshine, well i wouldnt have known your saying for them mari

Yes its a wierd one! I'm bushed, but if it wasnt so late I'd get some more done!

I think its been quite on here for a few nights, so you could be right everyone tired after workink in garden all week. Can't beleive Sandra that we are getting nice weather up here.

We're even getting it in the frozen North, Carol! I was roasting today!

Looking forward to your pics Mari, I love seeing other gardeners gardens and projects..
Phew Clarice, Youv'e never stopped, I was thinking of Bubble Wrapping my Ghouse, or even half of it for my Tender plants, Hmmm c what hub thinks..
Spelks, Skelfs, Splinters! I thought everyone called them Spelks :)) I wonder what there called down south, or Ireland, or America even :)))
Aww Sandra bet you could just eat a chinese, mine really was Delicious hehe..
I know Sue, it was summer here today, The neighbours were out cutting grass,washing cars, I could hear music and my next door neighbour was out Drinking with his mates, and there still there :)))) Love them to bits..

Hope they've sent you one over the fence Daisy, you deserve it after all the hard work that you've done !! :-)))

It is worth doing as it stops the greenhouse going below freezing, and i have'nt got an heater in mine, and its so cheap to do think the last lot i got was 80pmtr but it was 6ft wide, and i've saved all my bubble wrap from last winter, Marie you know why its come nice, its because i covered my patio table up last weekend.

I'll take some pics tomorrow, tho I havent got the gravel or whatever it ends up with,at the moment its weed membrane & sand! unless I take the gravel from out front, & put the topsoil I dug out in there! Oh dear! You've set me off Daisy!!

Iv'e been invited Sue, he really is a great neighbour, Good fun and No bother as we say :) I just couldn't be bothered..
Im seriously thinking about it Clarice, how do you Attatch it ? and Pleeeeease keep your table covered hahaha

Yes, please keep it covered!
Try double-sided sticky tape Daisy!

Where i can i peg it to the silver trims and then just selotape the pieces together, its not perfect but as long as all the sides are covered, and the door way i like overlap two pieces so i can get in and out and keep most of the heat in.

sorry carol went for a bath lol,its been beautifull here, we well i mean baz cut the grass, well i am ill lol, i potted some plants and johnny my olderson came and we brushed the leaves up, then i had to rest inbetween making a chicken roast mashed potatoes and carrots, oh and stuffing, then a cake yummy, shouldnt have though :o)

Good idea Marie, Clarice, ill have a go.. why not eh..
Aww Sandra its awfull not being well, your Baz and family are looking after you well (and the garden) i know its not the same, you just want to get stuck in.. Sis had the op you need (keyhole) and recovery was quick, I hope they can do the same for you X

thanx Dee so do i , cant be sat around , im on the go all the time

Great blog YDD and the last pic is awesome of the wasp!!

Nice work so rest now eh....

Sorry Marie missed your gravel or sand post.. Decisions!
hard work tho moveing gravel from front to back, Why not buy a bag or 2 a week, save it up untill there's enough.. I once asked for a ton of gravel for my Birthday.. and i got it :))) had to barrow it myself tho..

Thats one thing i dont have to do sweep up leaves, as dont get any thank goodness, sounds like the sun as got us all at it this week as'nt it, Dee you'll be supprised how much warmer you greenhouse will be.

cheaper loose though Dee,,ok in bags if you dont need to much i think anyway, :o)

i havent got my winter plants in just cant get going, so i might get a few tomoz to pop in my pots

Talking of gravel for your birthday one of my lads every xmas comes round with 4 big bags of compost with a ribbon round them,he always says he knows i'm going to ask him to get me some in new year so he decided to add it to my xmas list, at least it one pressy i'll always use.

I wont be keeping it as sand, Daisy, too messy! I'd have to wait til March if I asked for gravel for my birthday, & I dont have a wheelbarrow! I've moved all the soil, sand, compost & stuff in a wee bucket!
We'll see! I'll come up with something! The gravel could do with coming out of the front, cant grow much in it!

nice one carol lol

That's a great gift, Carol!

Its one of the best pressy's i get:o)))

like you say it what you use better than getting you something you will just put away and never look at again

I'm getting my passport paid for me this year!

I done one pot last year, it was facing my back window and i saw it every time i washed the dishes and it flowered all winter sandra, only twice they drooped and that was with heavy snow but they soon bounced back, Winter Pansies they were, and they were there untill May, Amazing plants, so if you just buy one lot of winter flowers get the pansie's, and there only £4 for 24 at B&Q, they will cheer you up...
A couple of Degree's extra warmth will do me Clarice.. Thanks..

thats good mari, so expensive now, its a damn cheek keep having to pay to update
thanx Dee will call there tomoz and get some :o)

Ooooh where you going Marie..
Great pressi Clarice, I allways hint for gardening stuff for Xmas.. Propergaters etc...

I'm hoping to go & visit my wee brother in San Jose in March.

Great blog Dee we call the splinters 'damn painful' :o))
I have been doing some preparation for winter by doing some general repairs, like a spot of painting, brick renovation and waterproofing to the side of the house, and I cleaned and re-pointed all the front paving, the only gardening I have done is cut the lawn and deadheading and a bit of weeding.

Youve been working hard..... your new winter pots look great.. ive done some like these 4 my front garden........all my summer bedding plants are still flowering so not going to take them out of their pots just yet..........
