Morning @Perki , how's your cold, has it cleared up now?

I'm enjoying a housework break, sitting in the garden with hubs, a cuppa and my gardening magazine that's just arrived.....pure bliss!

Lucky you! Glad that the sun has shied away and was taking some pics

Sorry for the blurriness

Along came a buzzing bumble bee

Oh, crumbs. Thought I was quick to take some freebie from Freegle and wanted to beat @Leeski 's record. Offered to take this Omron CompAir NE-C28P Nebuliser, not realising that it's for facilitating drug delivery! OOOooops!

Sent another email straight away to cancel. Curtains anyone??

Still got the Cold @Upsy Daisy thanks for asking almost gone just got a tickly throat and phlegm on the chest.

Hoping to go Harogate Autumn flower show in 2 weeks time, should be loads and loads of bulbs there I have to restrain myself from going to Lidl and raiding the bulbs though so tempting, i did raid all the allium bulbs once felt a bit rotten taking the lot but they have looked great the following years

 

[Leeski]

Could some one please tell me what these are?
Thanks in advance

All I need is to send Perki some postage money! Love to have some pink Crinums! Cold, what an excuse to stay home and enjoy your garden, @Perki ! Are the grapes sweet. You can send me cuttings if it is sweet and seedless! I don't want a lot.

Tryng to sell my Demijohn bottles on Gumtree. Hard work!

The Grapes are Black Hamburg, they are quite nice but have like 4 pips in each grape. I dont really eat many because of the pips. I bought the crinium as a bulb, it must of been going on a foot long, think it only cost about £2.50

I have been given 4! Didn't even know the name. All I knew was Brewing bottles which took up room! Saw this man buying 2 and asked son to check the price! £8! Quids in. Trying to sell some salvia seeds on ebay and hence still typing away here. Put it on Gumtree, but may try to sell them on ebay.
