MORNING FORKERS

Posted: 12/05/2013 at 09:04

Nut - yes we are in the sunny south east - but at the bottom of a steep valley - it's finally dawned on me (after 7 years) that we are probably in a "frost pocket" - at the very least we have our own micro-climate.  Now I feel special!!

Morning

Happy hols Ali

Rain forecast here this pm so postponing my visit to the GC til later and will try and get something done outside this morning.

Nut - my peonies are not even close to flowering, although the camellia is getting dangerously close! We seem to be about a fortnight behind the rest of the world (including the bit up the hill about a mile away). But I can see nice fat buds on my irises  - ooh the anticipation!

Good Evening FORKERS

Thanks gfkqwegf  egfwc kjgf (thats some name !!)  It helps to have this put into context. Maybe next year the BBC will schedule a spot for it - they have previously highlighted Hampton Court Gardens put together by schools.

Potted up all my seedlings - they take up so much more space in their own pots that I am running out of room !

Been grotty all day, but lovely and sunny now

Although with the smelly feet comment, I think I am happy to just enjoy the picures.  How can something so pretty smell nasty ??

Shropshire Lad is lovely - but more of a peachy colour than a strong pink.

Geranium sanguineum lancastriense

I love them too Jim.  I always think they look like someone has painted on the markings with a pen.  And they just flower, and flower, and flower ... Would not be without them - and that goes for many other geraniums too
