@Upsy Daisy The world loves a trier! Don't worry about posting pic.. But I can assure you it is a pure joy. Ask Joysome who's 72 and just mastered uploading the end of last year and now she is having a whale of a time..

Hope you have a nice phyio and that it makes you better .. I was a typist... considering all my typos LOL!

Good afternoon all,planted some kale out, doing dinner, walk barley in 15mns. Alp if your rhubarb is Timperley early, you can start pulling, but you've only got a few to pull. Only pull the longest ones and don't pull to many. Have a nice salad.

Good morning, should be +18C today and cloudy. This means I can get on my bike and not worry about my GH overheating. I think I will head north and west to the highest spot in Calgary. When I was a kid, before moving to the farm, this highest spot was not in the city.
I raked half my front lawn at about 8pm last night, need to complete the job, rain coming on Saturday.

@Logan: Yes, it would be a shame not to use the lettuces! I bake rhub with honey??? No emoji for scratching my head! Shame!

@johnny canoe Thought you said it would be snowing and now 18C. I think I'm having 18c here.. Just lovely.. Cloudy is no good though.. At least it warm and nothing is burnt in the gh .. I wish we were going to have rain..

I have some sunflower seeds in my hanging basket.. How I cheated! Haha!

They looked better than those I sowed in the lean to! LOL!

The pansy looks even better today and I can see all the golden edges..

Don't flowers love the sun.. Fully open!

Nice to see the tulips so clean inside.. Soon after this, it will be fully of pollen and be very messy. Now it's just pristine!

Now this white looks so pure and pretty!

I was so excited to see the blue inside this red tulip.. Totally mesmerising..

Good morning Johnny, sounds lovely.
Alp, yes cook rhubarb in the oven, cut into pieces.It all depends on how many sticks you use. If it's just a few, just drizzle a bit of honey on top. Cover with foil. Cook until tender.

My electric oven has got a main oven and a top oven, which combines as a grill. I do it in the top oven on 70c. I don't know how long, just do it till it's tender. If you've got a gas oven, do it on the lowest temperature.

@Logan Will give it a go.. Haven't done much today.. it's like I'm suffering from depression... just couldn't get going..

Hi Alp, living up against the Rocky Mountains it could snow here any day of the year. But it is a warm one today.

Lovely photos as usual - I particularly like those tulip close ups alp.
This is the best I can do today - nothing to do with my garden I'm afraid

Sorry, I am still cackling see what @Grey Parrot has uploaded. Ah, it's good that you have a warm day. 18C is a perfect temperature.. I always want that 18 to 25 range.. More than that or less than that is no good.. for gardening..

 

[alp]

@Grey Parrot I was feeling very dejected until I saw your photo .. I am laughing so much that I've got tears in my eyes... You naughty woman!

I really have been feeling low.. bubbling tummy, nausea induced smells from next door and to cap it all, a sting from stinging nettle this morning and my left arm is still tinkling... How are you? You could send me a CONVERSATION... LOL!

But hey, you see, you can upload your pics TO THE RIGHT PLACE! lol!

 

[Logan]

Hope you feel better soon.LOL!
