I know - but I don't like it when the evenings get so dark - it's getting that way now, let alone when we put the clocks back!

 

I reckon so, yes! I don't grow them, but my friend does, and she double-fleeces hers with straw in the top as well as inside the fleece.

On question - Tree Fern

 

Oh, you are sooooo right, Dd!!

 

We are at our wits' end at how to keep them out. They've dug under a strong fence; we blocked up the hole - they just pushed the heavy blocks aside.

We are seriously considering an electric fence, as used by farmers to keep their animals IN!!

On question - Badger trouble

 

Did you see the white ones, Dd??

 

We'll probably get ours tomorrow, then. I hope I don't get 'teenage boy' again!

 

Well, you have the PERFECT excuse to go back there! :-))

 

The leaves in one of the other photos look like begonia leaves.

It can be grown indoors, as you are doing, but be aware that it probably is an annual plant - so it won't last for ever! :-(

Welcome to GOY, by the way.

 

Yes, we do the shoe boxes, as well. We get told what age the child is, and whether it's a boy or a girl. Is this the same group doing them round the country, do you think?

 

Of course it's sad to lose a friend. I'm so sorry to hear that.

On blog - A sad week..

 

Oooh! Lovely time of year to be on the move! Have a great time. Looking forward to seeing the autumn colours!

On blog - A week away

 

That's a BIG rose bush! Amazing! And that deep blue sky...:-))

 

I shall just sigh over those beautiful Alstroemerias again, Louise....wonderful!

Bscott, Catananche are sooooo easy to grow from seed! I had so many that I was giving plants away to neighbours and planting them all over the place! You won't need crossed fingers! :-))

 

I used to watch it, but no longer, as I find it too 'bitty' now. Such a shame. We need a really good gardening programme with time for projects/procedures to be shown clearly.

I do moan about the names of plants not being shown for long, as well. If you wanted to make a note of one - hard luck! Gone!

 

No, I don't think they are, Sbg/Sandra. I seem to remember looking them up when I got my first one. I bought three more at Beth Chatto's on Thursday! :-))

On photo - my new babies

 

Happy birthday from me, too! :-))

On blog - thank you Hywel

 

Good luck, Leigh! :-)

On question - Buddleia pruning

 

Looking good, Ian! :-))

Ditto, Sbg!! I need to do mine ASAP.
