Now two MORE Beasts are on their way from the East bringing more snow and -9C chills in icy blasts from Scandinavia and Russia

• Forecast models predicting two cold fronts headed for Britain over next month
• Cold air from the Atlantic is set to hit the country at Easter with snow predicted
• While a second chilly snap is expected next month before we enter May

! I can fill the whole page and it's now COLD!

Put another hellebore to ground and come in for a permanent pen (no such thing! Everything fades!) Now I sound bitter, boring, negative and nagging! LOL! Got to find the expensive Pental. Don't even know if it stays on forever. But at that price, it'd better be! Sharpies are useless!

Think if you could invent a permanent label with ink intact for 10 years and it would stay with the plant, we would be millionaire. Better get on with it ..

Even the labels that come the plants fade in time.

I make my own labels from milk containers and use a chinagraph pencil....seems to work well

Happy belated Birthday @Logan , for some unknown reason I thought Alp were pulling your leg .

Dry and chilly today, warm when the sun pokes through the clouds

 

[Logan]

Thank you @Perki

Been doing some of my seedlings, these are pot marigolds called apricot daisy. They are about 8inc tall to go underneath the roses.

I've done 135 altogether. About 30 today. I did plant them a bit deeper than they were.

Where can I get a chinograph pen please? My labels are totally bereft of ink!

Come on! End the suspense. When is your birthday? For me, every week I have a birthday as I buy something, always plants, every week. I don't spend money on clothes and no holiday last year, so every week, I buy something for myself and my son encourages it as he knows one day they will bring him some dough!
