LOL! You should have got it quicker then, @Zenji ! I would say this is add insult to injury! LOL!

Off to put some plants inside the tomato tents now! Have a rewarding day! I think Logan is having a day of GREAT EXPECTATION!

For those who may not know.......Dishy Dentist Day!!

Lovely morning outside, divided and move lots of snow drops.
Checked on all the over wintering geraniums in the cold frame, looked over the Sweet Williams and Aubretia that were sown last year. And finally checked on the cuttings that were taken last year....some of my sister's pretty Fuchsia and a multi coloured Buddleia ( pink and blue) , and more geraniums.

Your cold frame is doing good duty! All those geraniums--what do you do with them all?

Another AI that I need to learn!

Just come back an hour ago and boy, I must avoid place offering buffet. I always eat for England in every single place offering buffet and ended up today nearly died for England. I didn't even eat a lot. Just about 13 tiny chicken wings. Pleasure became punishment and I am still bloating with food.

It's a lovely day. Went round libraries to get some books and it turned out that they didn't open not until 1pm. We went around town and bought several trousers for son and a Levi Strauss shirt for £3.50. Then we ended up going to have a buffet miles away as son loved the food there.

Whoa! @Upsy Daisy - my jaw drops seeing all those cuttings and they are doing so well. Brilliant job!.

Thanks @alp .Yes I'm really please that they have all survived the winter, especially as we've had some really cold spells and the greenhouse is unheated. The cold frames are in a corner against the wall of the house, so are quite protected from the elements!

I have also found out that area is best. The sun heats up the workshop and the opposite wall is part of our kitchen. No direct sunlight, but very good as a nursery area. But I have to keep 6 water butts there, so only a shelf is left there for the purpose. I have no protection for them at all, but the results were 1/10 as spectacular as yours.

Today I spent a lot of money on clothes for my son. Imagine how much you spent if we had girls!

If you want a good show, you really need to pack your pots or borders with that many plants. To this date, my gardener is still full of pathetic one here, one there! When will I ever learn?

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Yes , boys are definitely easier ( and cheaper )to shop for.

I still find myself doing that, but this year I am determined to plant in groups of 4 or more........well that's the plan

I have got hold of a Sungold F1 tomatoes. Also saw a dogrose like camellia and asked for the price. The 5 inch stem cost £5. I promptly put it down. I bought an EG Waterhouse for £5.99 with flowers on!
