Morning all

Oh i do take pics of all my plants @alp , loads and loads, but only upload them once a month

@Upsy Daisy How about 3 times a month.. Nice to see them from times to times, rather than being flooded with them! Haha!

Good morning to a cool and breezy day!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Morning all, sunny but still quite a breeze whipping everything about.

@alp it's too much faffing about to upload several times as it would ' mess' up my online diary.I'm not that good at anything computer related, despite being shown things several times over by all my men folk....I always try to do things myself now as they tend to get a bit niggly with me constantly asking ' how do I do this' when they told me the week before
I will continue as I have always done but ration you all.....a few each week......how does that sound.

I have a prehistoric mobile phone, which I love, so no fancy new iPhone to quickly take and upload pics with.
Hate to cause a major flood!!

Hopefully a Windless Wednesday is in store for everyone today

 

[alp]

@Upsy Daisy Very cruel of you, rationing us and then bingeing us!

@Upsy Daisy, I know how you feel. I've got a iPhone and use it for pics and on the forums. But i have to ask OH when i have to update the security on it. Because have to do so many things and then reverse it, i just can't remember what to do. Been in the garden doing some weeding and to make space for the bedding. I had to do it with my legs straight, so it was a bit more difficult, but i did it. Was out there for 1 hour and a half.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Good to know there is someone on my side @Logan .....thanks

Well done...an hour and a half is a good long stint for someone in recovery mode. but don't get over keen and overdo it

 

[Logan]

@Upsy Daisy, thanks. Yes i didn't do any more, had a rest. Just had a problem with this forum, i had to sign back in.

 

[alp]

Same here. I had to sign back in as well. Thank heavens all the details are still there.
I have been out from 1 to 3 also on straight legs as they are swollen around the knees.

campanula pink octopus

streptocarpus

Just love my trollius chinensis

 

[Logan]

@alp Oh dear, have you been taking your medication? I like that campanula.

 

[alp]

@Logan same medicine three times a day. Can't really bend my knees, so stand and bend to do my weeding or planting. It seems to me I have lost some galanthus.. Sad, mad and bad me!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling too good today @alp , hope things improve soon for you.

Strange isn't it, I've had to sign back in each time today......had a bit of trouble remembering my password

Not done too much today as had a friend visiting, but did have another look at all the damage done by the wind. Loads of broken and badly battered plants.......including one of my Dahlia blooms....thought it had survived

 

[alp]

@Upsy Daisy Only the same ailment. But that's the only way to work in the garden. Tidied up a path, but the big slab is giving me a headache. too heavy to shift.

When you sign in, make sure you tick KEEP ME LOG IN. It also happened to me. But I quickly went up and tick that box.

I had a torn dahlia as well. If your dahlias were damaged, there is every chance they will come back. I snapped up the broken bit and was trying my luck at propagating it. I have so much to get rid of in my garden that it's like a nightmare. I planted some more coriander, heart cabbage and planted out some scabius. I hope they are not going to be slugs' dinner. I was hunting for my expensive galanthus and was horrified to see one pot with nothing inside. I don't even know where they are now. I had to use a sieve to find out where they are. I'm so useless. I buried some too deep last year and there have been no flower. They might have been fried by the hot sun and now become dust. How mad, sad and bad I have been!

@alp
I'm sorry that you're sick now.
I like your Trollius. In general, I love them for their unpretentiousness. It's suitable for my garden. I brought the yellow from the forest.

Orange also grow in the wild in Russia, but too far from me. So I just bought them.
Recently, I have grown and blossomed a new Trollius. It is not yellow and not orange. Probably 2 bush pollinated.
