3: Gardening Diaries ...

Morning all, @Leeski sorry to hear about your car. Ours is a Volvo 50 and hubby goes to the Volvo dealer. Lucky this year didn't need anything done. Had the MOT and a service, had the all clear. Sometimes they'll say something will need replacing soon, but no.Doesn't mean to say that nothing will go wrong soon. Had a lot of things replaced.

Been having trouble with berry going out in the mornings with hubby, i had to take him out in the end, that's why I'm late on here.

Raining now so going to do some card making.

@alp don't worry about having to many dahlias, they're very pretty. I have a lot of different rhubarb plants, must have about 6 different ones. 2 varieties can be picked all year round.

Yesterday evening picked blueberries and blackberries before it rained today. Had to watch the wasps.

Lovely pics everyone.

I can murder some of the blackberries and blueberries now. You fed them, @Logan ? How can you cope with all the thorns. Just been kissed by one mossie doing the lawn. Son took over and of course, I didn't complain.

Such a good harvest for you. Full of antioxidants .. Good for you, @Logan ! I was sent 10 alerts saying that you liked my post. Coor! one every second! LOL!

Yesterday, I removed some echinacea seedlings from the patch supposed-to-be-lawn but now is a tomato patch! And 3 cosmos sulphureus. They are orange in colour and very striking.

@alp I can sympathize with you, when i was out walking the boys, it was so humid. Didn't need a jacket on but it's raining so had to.

Was it heavy rain or steady rain, @Logan ? I reckon by the time the rain band is here, it will have lost all the moisture. Always like this. The rain bands always frizzle out near Windsor way and we end up with zilch. Yes, very humid and I had to open the noisy fanlight so as to expel the stagnant air trapped inside my house. Son did a bit of mould killing in the living room yesterday. The noise is just deafening - it's like I'm sitting along a motorway!

@alp thanks, have thornless ones. I put wood ash on the blackberries and a ereacatious for the blueberries.

I'm just catching up with last night's posts.
Your son is good.
Good luck with your seedlings.

@alp no it's light to moderate rain. it's still raining.
The guttering at the back of the house is blocked, but the blueberries are in the way. Can't move them until I've picked all the fruit.

Hubby will clear it when I've picked them.

Some usual suspects. As it's going to rain, I hope they are not battered after the rain

Morning!

We now have steady rain and a breeze is blowing up, hopefully it will pass over by early afternoon. I raced around collecting more blackberries and seedheads before this rain set in last night, our blackberries are a thornless variety too, makes the job of fruit harvesting a lot more pleasant

Only some apps to attend to in town @alp , nothing too interesting but did manage to persuade hubs to call into the big branch of Inexcess, had a walk around their outdoor garden centre , but nothing caught my eye or shouted out ' buy me!'

Have a good day everyone

Morning Upsy, my posts are ok.

I have never seen your posts repeated. Sometimes, photos are repeated because of my own mistake. But it's tricky when you think you have made a mistake and reload another photo. Most of the times, the photo will go to the top of the post. Any way, nobody would mind. What I was referring to was the alerts. They have 4 or 5 or even 10 alerts for liking a certain post .. Kind of maniac!

See these alert for the same post

Morning .Yes I know mine is now ,but earlier @alp's and my posts were showing up as repeats...most strange.

 

[alp]

See what I mean! For the same post ..

Sorry, @Logan !

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Strange happenings lately...I've had alerts from people I don't know on threads I don't read!

Let me go back and have a look. @Leeski had her posts repeated 3 times last night. I think it could be the site. Not our fault. That happened to @Zenj as well!

@Leeski How are you this morning and any grand projet which doesn't involve spending money? That was a terrible hit.
