Spritzhenry's Outbox

Oh - we have pouring rain, too. the garden needed it - but pur-lease, I need to walk H. and I am NOT doing it this morning! I do hope it dries up a little this afternoon - in Devon, too!

Hahaha...but thanks!

We accept belated, thanks! :-)) H. was totally unaware of his b'day of course! LOL.

OK, OK. But I am putting off going out at all today - it's pouring! It was all very well needing rain for the garden, but why can't it rain in the night and let me take H. out without us both coming back soaking wet?
Moan, moan.......

Oh no - I remember them! They are grown up with children of their own, now - two of them are teenagers, as well! If H. gets grumpy, I shall remove myself and hide! LOL.

We are all hoping that last winter was a one-off, Janette. It doesn't normally get toooooo cold! Thank goodness!

I read that in my magazine...no, I was going to leave the Dahlias in, Janette - I honestly can't cope with lifting etc. There's so many other things I still haven't done in the garden! I feel as if I'm running to catch up! So - it'll be the easy way, buying another one next spring, I'm afraid.

Thanks for the info, though!

LOL. I'm following you, Docbob! It doesn't feel like 5 years ago.

Thanks, Mp and Docbob. I'll go and see what the question was!

Our groups are talking about that, as well. What difference does it make, Pip??

I might do a blog later on, David. Anyway - you can do it yourself! It's only very new gardeners who need help, isn't it??

NO flowers? What a shame! I have three plants and they all flowered last year - their first year in. I wonder why?

No, I think you didn't see the best of it. When the roses and clematis are out - it's amazing!

I should try to go to Marwood Hill - not THAT far, I suppose! Where's Geoff's garden?

I 'tripped' over it - but I had to have it - so pretty! It's a bit hit and miss with NZ and Australian plants, sadly.

I don't know that one?? - I had S. uliginosa (sp) but that hasn't appeared this year. I suppose it was a casualty of last winter. :-((

I have a good Salvia book - I shall check your 'ex' Salvia out, Wagger!

LOL.....that's really funny, Dd!

My goodness - I'm impressed! I USED to be organised and keep a log of everything I did and planted - I really must start again!

Yeeeessss Sir! I know that really - but I forget when I have to get me ready with H. dancing round me all excited!

LOL. Welcome to the stars! They're still flowering. Not bad, are they??

Not easy to get all the things I need done outside now - the weather is stopping me getting on! Then it's dark....Moan, moan. :-((

Ooops - yes, Dd - I do like it! Nerines aren't usually lifted, Dd. They should be hardy.

:-)
