@Upsy Daisy, thanks going to do some more tomorrow. Yes very windy here, too much for the washing. That's a bit worrying about your leg. When have you got to see your doctor?

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Friday, and the clot is no smaller either, might require a hospital app
Are your Wallflowers annuals or perennials! ? I have always sown annuals but have a pkt of perennial seeds.....not sure if I would miss the space for all my summer bedding or not. Decisions, decisions.
Might pinched your method....looks good

@Upsy Daisy Oh dear, do you know what will happen at your hospital appointment? The wallflowers are biennial. Sometimes they will last another year, but i like to plant summer bedding instead. Yes you can use my idea.

Lovely sunny day albeit windy at times.....hope everyone survived the storm yesterday
Picked carrots.....delicious now....spring onions and lettuce....all so sweet and crisp.
Dropped a few more plants off to my nephew....incl salvias Love n Wishes, Amistad and Bulleyana. Plus 2 large potted up containers of dahlia Jamaica (quite a beauty) and some crackling fire trailing begonias.......all with some flowers.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Yesterday ......and today @Verdun !! It's been absolutely awful.......couldn't hardly stand up in winds today, The garden was a wreck, did a lot of staking and tying up but branches were broken and established shrubs uprooted. Lots of chopping down to be done tomorrow

 

[Upsy Daisy]

@Logan , sorry I meant biennial

If I do have to go to the hospital then I expect it will be for an ultra sound, that's what happened last time when they suspected a DVT, thankfully it was only a Bakers Cyst

Surprised that there were no alerts and I had to look back and forth these two pages. I can't believe my eyes - Logan you're already doing next year's plants. I must clear my lean to first. The dry air doesn't help and has killed quite a few repotted streptos. I did sow some bamboo seeds though. It's quite sunny now. Mostly very windy and frightening, but not so bad as the winter storm. Not enough rain though. Still have half empty butts.

@Verdun Love to see those flowers. I think my first dahlia will open tomorrow.

I shielded the sun and the colour comes out much better, using my Samsung.

@Upsy Daisy Please make sure you have your clot checked out, could be dangerous.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

No worries @alp its under supervision , still on the meds that make me feel sick

I am soooooooo very surprised that the one Dahlia that I have in bloom has survived the awful winds today, all three flowers are intact still

 

[alp]

Would love to see you dahlias.. I saw another little bud. Others are still very slow. Tomorrow the weather is going to be fine.

Talk to your doc about the meds to see if she can tweak it a bit.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I only have one plant in bloom, will take a pic tomorrow. The others are no way near blooming yet

 

[Logan]

@alp have to do wallflowers now, so i can plant them end of September.
Lovely pics

I wish I had started a slim diary cataloguing the blooms at various times of the year. There are so many programmes in Spring Watch ... and they are all 60 minutes.. A lot of talking and very boring birds doing nothing much. But I don't want to skip them just in case I miss a precious moment! Too many programmes ..

@Upsy Daisy Once you start taking photos of your flowers, you will love them all the more.

 

[Logan]

@alp yes it's on Monday to Friday.
