3: Gardening Diaries ...

Good morning to all. Glad that you had a rewarding and happy Mother's Day! Surprised that you had so much rain. We are due in for a lot of rain, but so far, the sky is clear with some blue patches. Yesterday, I stripped my lean to of all lace curtains and insulation materials and now it's very bright there. Clearance to be continued.

Same here! Neighbour used to feed crows and they are annoying. Yesterday, I had several starlings making a racket on the bird feeders, scaring the small ones whilst there are 2 other feeding stations for wild birds - a tray and another feeder. I am scared of wild bird food as the seeds go everywhere. Already, I have had numerous oats, millets and wheat growing. One year, I mistook my oat as Golden oat i.e. Stipa gigantea. I only found out it was oats when I looked the sizes of the seeds.

90 is not a bad age! How his suffering had been short!

It's pouring down here. Yesterday i trimmed the old flower stalks off some of the lavenders.Propped up some of the wallflowers that was hanging over the path.

You know, we will have 0 on Sunday! LOL! Too eager too soon. I am going out to reduce the number of pots. See you later! Have fun and hope, everyone!

 

[Logan]

I was expecting deluge. Just drizzles. Group 5 clematis into one big pots and have 2 big pots. Need to group the grapes soon after lunch. Wash more pots and generally reduce the number of pots.

It's still raining here, can't do anything outside. I don't wash my pots, but I'd like to get rid of some big ones. I used to have a lot of daffs in pots until started growing fruit. They don't do well in garden only the tulips and hyhasinths.

I got them free from freecycle and thank heavens as they are big help. I've got some good big and small ones. All for different things. But it's difficult to stack them away neatly as they are ALWAYS a bit different. Quite annoying. Now my hands are warm with blood flowing freely. After lunch will sort out the lean to unless it's not drizzly.

That's great, yes they're difficult to stack. You should take care of your hands. Do you wash your pots with cold water? Got a bit wet walking berry. Hubbys out this afternoon got to do a extra walk and it will still be raining. It's Berry's birthday today he's 4 years old.

Happy 4th Birthday to you, Berry, and many, many happy returns!

Can't find a colour to match the goldie!​

From Berry, thank you @alp
