Gosh you've been busy @alp ......if at all possible then you should get someone in to complete the job You need to give yourself a break, it must be very tiring and heavy work.......look after yourself.

Water features are so relaxing , my dads has two ponds one is very large with a little island in the middle, Both have water falls too,....very soothing

I cry for you now, @BigC You should have gone to Yorkshire - a lovely place.. Shame that we didn't go into Rievaulx ! Very stupid of us. But there were only 8 hours a day and these places didn't open their door not until 11am..

Next week Wales and the week after Up Nort ..ee ba gum lad.....hopefully the weather will be nice

Does anyone know how long it takes for Geranium seed to germinate.....(Fothergills sown about 2wks now and nothing yet) ???

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Usually a couple of weeks @BigC....but once through they are quite slow growing, maybe taking 12 wks or so to flower.

Not worrying about any flowers just yet...I'm always apprehensive about seed germination......

Good Morning all...the Rain has stopped...for now
I'm looking to create a thread cataloging the attempt to grow a hot chilli pepper a personal project with text and pics of success and failure, what is the best way to go about this on the forum..I had a look at the showcase but got confused....is it editable as this would be a work in progress and I would like to add to the page/s as I go along and keep any comments separate so you only read the whole thread...any help appreciated..(hopefully I think I've explained this ok)

Also I started a showcase and saved it as a draft...how and where do I find this again???

@alp be careful, don't do too much. What you need is a spirit level for paths. Try u tube how to lay a path.

Good morning, going to be a scorcher.. Came in after an hour of watering. One butt one. I think I talk about butts so much that some butt companies want to follow me in Twitter..

Thank you for the advice, @Logan

 

[BigC]

Is your path just a garden pathway or will it have to take heavy traffic? @alp

 

[alp]

No, just the weight of a wheelbarrow. @BigC . Will take a pic later.
