Crikey...I do despair of these quote boxes at times. I've never even read the first one included in my last message, let alone clicking on it to quote it.

I do hope that David is right my joints (bones) are aching like crazy for some heat,  it's cold and wet outside 7.2c in the garden,  went to post a letter and by the time I got back I was frozen,  need to put big winter coat on when I go out its stupid at this time of year.

Yes, It's much the same here in the Midlands, Rain.....dark cloud, cold & miserable.

I think we are to go sub-tropical about Wednesday.

David  !

Could do with some real sun - anything but this grey, grey, grey. 

(btw my SPs are doing well - they seem to like this weather, are putting on growth and look pretty healthy.  Whether or not this will compromise the flowering - who knows?)

[Except you, of course, master of the SPs that you are )

Well, as you mention it, SV...me old mate Derek Heathcote (boss of Eagle SPs) was on regional TV yesterday, saying that he was struggling to find enough blooms for his Chelsea display this year, because of the cr*p weather.

Take heart Derek, next week's heatwave will set you up nicely for Hampton Court!

May In Your Garden

Hi, Pam...it must be so difficult for you when you have deadlines to meet!

I started my runner bean seed off in the greenhouse yesterday. They should be able to be sown in the open at this time of year, but the soil is just so cold; they would probably just rot in the ground. 

Anyway, after yesterday's mixed-bag of hail, thunderstorms & heavy rain, I think we are expected to have something more moderate today.

You are definitely glitched!

I just wonder how you could do that, even if you wanted to...Wintersong's first message wasn't even from this board, it was from 'Site feedback'.

@David K, I am experiencing exactly same issues as you, including no cursor outside quote boxes

I tend to agree with a reply submitted by 'Anonymous' at the beginning of this thread....continuity is everything.  I've never got over Geoff Hamilton dying ( although I'm sure he didn't do it to spite us, bless him ) and Gardener's World has never been the same since.  I didn't much appreciate Alan Titchmarsh, although he's an excellent presenter with a sound background in horticulture and knows his stuff; but there was always a bit too much 'titillation' for the ladies and that Yorkshire charm doesn't do anything for me.  Rachel de Thame is a pretty lass, Sarah Raven lives at Sissinghurst and bosses plants into growing, Alys was a passing fancy and Toby likewise.  It seems that we, the viewers, must be constantly stimulated by 'new' or 'fresh' presenters wearing weirder and more eccentric 'costumes' in order to keep the viewing figures up - maybe it's a case of touting for new viewers rather than giving the loyal gardening public a reliable and familiar programme they can continue to appreciate?

Monty Don drives me mad with his manic digging and every time I see him wielding a trowel I cringe; but he's back, so can we keep him, please, and not have to put up with this constant stream of unfamiliar faces? Keep Joe, keep Carol, ditch the rest and maybe introduce one newcomer with whom we can familiarise ourselves and who will, perhaps, one day, provide the programme with it's 'new' front man or woman.

My cherry blossom has brown rot blight but can't find treatment and wondered if it would affect my other trees such as apple plum etc. Do I need to chop the cherry tree down or can
