@alp those flowers are amazing, see you got the alsroemerias in focus this time. Yes we are and thanks

 

[tbendl]

@tbendl thank you, yes I've got muscles that i didn't think i had. I did some more this morning, but had to stop. I won't be doing any tomorrow, think i give it a rest. Do some more wallflowers and at 1.30 got appointment for physio and have the brase adjusted so i can bend it a bit more.

Well that's good news, being able to bend it further. And yes, resting is important. Hard to do when we have plants to play with but important. I hope your physio goes well.

Ah, thank you, @tbendl I had another blue one last year, but I thought snapping off the top bit would encourage more stems.. How wrong was I. I love NEON blue..

@Logan Good that you've more freedom. I have to book my physio.. We sound like some crippling geriatrics.. @tbendl Hope you don't feel out of place here. Haha!

LOL Not at all, I am a crippling geriatric. At least that's what my daughter says, I keep telling her I'm still 20 but she doesn't buy it.

Had to cover the blueberries with fleese, to stop the black birds from eating the ripening fruit.

Here'ssome of the wallflowers that have come up. Have to keep moving them out of the sun. In garage at moment. Move them back later.

 

[alp]

LOL! Some operation! Will the fleece be too hot for them? Here, there are so many things to eat that my blueberries are pretty safe.

@tbendl I still bet you are the youngest amongst us here! We are all 20 at heart! That I believe!

 

[tbendl]

Be still my heart if that's true. It's been awhile since I was considered the "young 'un" LOL

 

[Logan]

@alp no they won't get too hot, but the rain won't get to them, so have to water them more. Your only young as you feel. I don't feel that old, i could be 20.

 

[tbendl]

So true @Logan. The garden and pond keep me young!

 

[Logan]

So true @Logan. The garden and pond keep me young!

Yes i agree.

@Logan considering the huge amount of berries that you have, it's worth the effort. It was so windy when I went out that the door was blown off my hand. Thank heavens ex said that I should have a in-closing doors in the patio, or else I would have to hold on to another door whenever it is windy. The wind was something. It dispels the foul air, so in a sense, it is a rescue for me.

@tbendl Logan and i are both 60 this year. Logan is younger than me by 3 or 4 months.

 

[Logan]

@alp it's best to have a that opens in. I would have thought a outside door should open inwards.
@tbendl yes i was 60 on 21st march. I get free prescriptions and eye test. No bus pass until I'm 67. Also get a free health check and every 2years a bowel testing kit. Since i was 50 get breast screening every 3years.

 

[tbendl]

You've got me by a few years. But we are all young at heart.

I love those bottom two pictures, you have a beautiful garden

 

[Logan]

Morning all
@Upsy Daisy their beautiful.

 

[alp]

Good morning to all

@Upsy Daisy Lovely lilies - pure white so holy... and the roses are just fab. Agree with @Jan , you have a fantastic mature garden. I wish I had lilies like that. What are they called? I only end up buying starglazers .. if I am lucky

An hour of watering with some homemade stinging nettle juice and now my hands stink. Very nice weather for weeding.. Washed my hands and picked some coriander and my hands now have another odd smell
