Morning!!
How strange to have a disappearing like button, glad to see it's been returned

Lovely pics @alp, you've provided all of us that haven't been with a great visual walkthrough of Wisley, thank you so much

Have you found the felt tip....hope the cap is on !!

Have a good day with all those footballers @Leeski

I preparing my vocal chords for later, going into town this morning and meeting up with my sis for a coffee before hitting the cinema.

Have a brilliant day everyone

Think the cap is on. Quite a few used in the bootsale ended up being chucked because of this bad habit. I must drill the message that I HAVE NO MONEY to waste on my brain to stop this wanton and gross act of negligence.

Nice trip to look forward to. I need to buy materials to insulate the roof and get the measurements. By the way, who is/was Alan Ball? Which football club was he with please? Sorry Alan, I am a bit disorientated ..

Going to have breakfast .. and find that felt tip

Think I will post the photo during the winter when we would definitely be counting our fingers ..

Flat bread today!

Topiary is such a time consuming art form. I bought a spiral for £10 and because it is a Thuja instead of Leylandii, this saves me a lot of constant trimming. I have a cone in form of box. I must take more cuttings. Talking about cuttings, wonder where my Sarcococca has gone! Saw tons of them in a big heap yesterday!

Yes it is, monty did Nigel's a few years ago,
his is yew.

Wonder if dead people squabble in the cemetry! Haha!

I wish I could put a dictaphone and hear how parents or grandparents abuse their offspring! Son said one mum hit the son in the swimming pool changing room that he saw blood. He was so traumatised by the experience.

Good morning, Logan .. I did have a very nice day in Wisley. Thank you.

Must get a day with fine weather and not so much wind to go to Bedfordshire Whipsnade Zoo.

I have tried to love agastache, but it just looked messy and I put it down. Was

Yes ours is like that, might get rid of it or it probably won't last the winter here and i can't be bothered with cuttings.

Certainly a much better thread!

What a shame! Quite a painless way to die though! So young. 60 is hardly any age. Saw notification that a little girl was kidnapped from her bed or something. How shocking! Hope she's found asap and safe!

I remember seeing Mark56's Agastache and it was smothered with flowers so obviously his mention made me look out for this plant. Also, heard it from some other previous poster. I just couldn't warm to the plant that I saw. Saw it 3 times, but the last one was a good one as it put me off spending money!

Wonder if I could collects seeds from my own penstemons. My sour grapes is still secretive, sour, sulking ... Must be the heat

Also, heard it from some other previous poster.

I tbink that was me, it doesn't live up to it's expectations, very disappointed.
