Good Evening FORKERS

Hollie - they soon bulk up though. Not sure quite what I will do with 48 oriental poppies - but somehow it seemed too good a bargain to resist !

So pretty, lovetogarden! I really love the orange tulips, and you have paired them up really well. Hope they survive the gales tonight

I wrote to the website team about the photos a couple of weeks ago. They wrote back that they knew there was a problem and they are trying to fix it (along with the other site problems). I keep hoping, as it was good to just be able to click and enlarge.

garden before we started our garden design 3 years ago..

Chellie - loved reading the post from beginning to end - what a transformation (and what a lot of work !) What is this year's project ??

Hello Everyone - and welcome Rosie.

Matty - have you got your Malvern visit planned yet ? (assuming it has not been blown away - what a nightmare for the organisers and exhibitors - as if its not stressful enough without gale force winds!)

Got home to discover my 48 "free" poppies had arrived - lots of potting up to do on Saturday ! They are fingernail size so might need my magnifying glass. Also arrived were some plants that are new for me - Thalictrum Elin. Spotted them in a garden magazine and am hoping they give me some height at the back of my borders. At the moment I rely on Helianthus Lemon Queen, and I need something else to mix in.

One more day til the weekend !!

BusyLizzie - I have never grown Linaria, but have seen the version known as "fairy toadflax" grown in a Chelsea show garden a couple of years ago. It was the Leeds County Council Garden - the one where they recreated a watermill/lock. It had a large bank that they made into meadow, and the main flower in it was fairy toadflax (I know because I liked it so much I asked). En masse they were breathtaking. They were a range of pastel colours. A bit of googling will probably unearth some pictures ....

MORNING FORKERS

That has reminded me too ! And my chillis !!

Blue skies here now, but gales forecast. Trees have come out enough now that we can no longer see our neighbours (nice neighbours - but still nicer not to see them)

Good day to all
