Morning all.
Oh dear Klona you definitely have a difficult job on your hands....keep us posted as I'm intrigued to find out how you end up resolving your problem.

I really sympathise with you Logan, but with each new day you're getting nearer to the end of the road to recovery

alp it certainly sounds like you've caught a bug, especially if your feeling cold.......duvet day for you... snuggle down with a good movie.

Verdun your garden sounds beautiful, why not post some pics??
If I can do then anyone can

Good luck with your exams Vishu

Have a good day.

I think the seeds are bad because they're store bought? The look unusually hard compared to the ones in the videos. The shell is sealed on all sides. That was my second attempted yesterday, I have one more mango for a third attempt. Fingers crossed.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Could be Klona.

 

[alp]

Wish I had a mango to share the journey with you, @Klona !

Feeling much better after letting my consciousness drift a few times in 2 hours.. It's so cold out there. I feel sorry for my plants as there is a chill in the air. Had to say goodbye to my strepts as they have all died because of the dryness in the air.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Hey where has everyone gone...............are you all out on the razzle......and did you forget to invite me

 

[Logan]

Morning all, have a good day.

 

[alp]

Haven't done much, but got these

I wonder if these are pansies or violas as they are too small for pansies and too big for violas, love them as they have not been attacked by anything, slugs, weather or other bugs.

Miss Bateman is so happy in my garden

A very common blue iris

Remember my Minerva Amaryllis?

It has 2 huge seedpods and one has splitted open

Here's another one!

So apparently, I tried to upload these last night, but I forgot and went wandering nattering and lo and behold, they are still here this morning. What a fantastic forum, able to store so much information over over several hours! Respect to those running the forum.

Good morning. Woke up 2.57 by a surge of heat.. No need to say why. Didn't want to drag myself out of bed when the alarm went at 6pm. Definitely need to show my seeds. Will give a list when done.

Hope everyone has a good day, albeit grey and cold in the Essex, not that @Daren would know what is going on with the weather .. He's either singing along with @Tetters cherubic singer or crawling his way home.

Morning alp, Logan and all that follow.

Oh dear alp , did you manage to fall back to sleep again?

Logan how are you doing, never broken any bone but was wondering if it's painful while it heals?

Not sure if it's cold outside but we do have the sun peeping through every now and then.

No gardening on the agenda today for me.

Have a good day whatever you are up too.

 

[alp]

@Upsy Daisy Well, you've robbed me of any sunshine, by the look of it. Did you have a lot of rain. I will have a cold and rainless day. But I will crack on.

 

[Verdun]

Morning folks
Another warm glorious day........earlier a walk to the beach was invigorating. Blue calm sea, the smell of gorse and the tranquility
Hope everyone has a good day

 

[alp]

I wish I can say the same. It's freezing and grey in here. Last night, I used my trays to cover all my cosmos as I thought I wouldn't want to be this cold myself, so I gave them exact protection. They were out when they were about 3 inches, not in the 3L pot mentioned by you, @Verdun

Nice to see that someone else has good weather. I'm still waiting for the tank of water, @Mark56 . I don't mind the grey if it came with rain.. but alas .. Have you got any plants to plant today, @Verdun ?

Even my irises are stressed by the lack of water. Fancy how Vishu keeps his plants in flowers..

 

[Verdun]

Busy day in prospect alp but I will be planting but in my nephew's garden. Taking over a honeysuckle, some Regal lilies sharing pots of blue Felicia, salvia elegans in flower (pineapple sage), salvia Embers Wish and Heliotrope Chatsworth. A couple of argyranthemums too. He has a newbuild garden ......I planted it last year and I am growing on more plants for him. Nice to start planting with a clean slate

 

[alp]

Can I adopt you as a very young uncle, @Verdun ?

I am going to seed my last seeds including beans and I'm going to clear up the garden after the supposed rain or drizzle. I moved all my pots out to catch the rain, away from the dwarf wall. But, by the look of it, they only caught the chill!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

No, we have had any rain either alps

Hi there Verdun, your walks sound soooooooo lovely.....very envious of you
