Good morning to all you gardening fanatics.....Sunshine all the way they said.. a weekend crammed full of the glorious stuff...I wonder who writes their script.as I must be in a narrow alleyway of dull clouds and rain....I know its good for the plants and ducks for that matter but please give me a break..... ....Have a nice day folks... Happy Gardening

Same here. I must be living in a thin strip of dry and hot zone even though rain was predicted. And I always says to myself, "Which idiot authorise the £1m bonus? I want a refund!"

@alp lovely pics especially the rose.
@BigC Red rock isn't a soap opera, it's a Crime Drama.

Just watched last night's GW, did a bit about clematis and how to propergate it.

 

[Verdun]

Enjoyed GW last night.......Monty's trick of dividing perennials in summer? Its what I do esp with lupins, sanguisorbas, delphiniums and the rest
Oh! Good morning everybody....sun coming out now and you can feel the warmth

 

[Logan]

Yes i did that after i saw that with aquelligia, there was a dark purple one i had. It does work.

I've done a small video with Berry on the your pets thread. Had to get hubby to put it on this forum. You have to double tap to start it.

Just back from shopping....I think these tablets are having a big effect on me as I'm very drowsy and tired..
Anyhow today I bought all the ingredients to make a simple Hot Chilli Sauce (including the small Tesco's blender £12).. I have tried to cut down the process as much as possible and will post again when this zonked out feeling dissipates....The whole procedure took about half an hour to prepare from start to finish (chopping, cooking, bottling) as will be explained in a subsequent post....I'm off for a kip now but will duly return later..Hope you all had a great day OH and BTW.. the sun is shining hahahahaha pity I'm too tired to sit outside.

Tesco's own branded sml Personal Blender/Liquidiser £12

I look forward to watching the video, @Logan

Sad that Mo didn't win the 5000m...

@BigC I used to be a big fan of juicer and blender, not any more. Just eat them for various meals - encourage my son to eat 5 fruits and vegs a day. Besides, I'm too lazy to watch the gadget.

@Verdun I will take some cuttings from my delphiniums.. I really like them.

Been out and have the following snaps in a park

Loads of echinops in the park

Some grass

Lovely conifer

Wonder how old this tree was. It might be there when Wilfred Owen came to the area to train as a cadet for WWI ..

A couple was having their wedding photo taken by a drone with the help of an ipod. They won't look good as the groom looked like a ghost - so pale and the bride had her face plastered with make-up .. I know I'm cheeky!

Doves - I should be a nicer person.. but I couldn't help but thinking ..

These geese have been naturalised - very good at queuing ...

I wonder where their lovely offspring have gone .. The male was very protective of her partner .. hissed like a snake when I went near to take photos..

 

[Logan]

@alp Yes shame about mo, his last race as well. He shouldn't have got boxed in. The video was too large to just upload as a photo, so hubby had to do a few things to get it on. I haven't got a clue what he did.Lovely pics as always.

 

[alp]

Hehe! The video was quite good quality and I want to ask you, why are your dogs prettier than your pretty flowers??!

So he condensed it. I see. He said sit, stand and something else.. The dog obliged - better behaved than my son!

 

[Logan]

@alp
It was me who was giving the commands.
I said down sit and stand
Their prettier because their goldies

 

[alp]

. I would toe the line if you gave me those orders. The commands are so firm and clear. No messing about!

 

[Logan]

@alp Have to be firm
