Wow! I hope you're going to post photos when they're all up

Here in Norwich there are big patches of mixed blue, pink and white ones on the verges of some of the roads into the city - Norwich was once known as 'the city in a garden' and the tradition of planting up verges has continued

Gorgeous Brumbull - wherever do you put them all?

Edited to say: I mean the baskets are gorgeous, not that you are Gorgeous Brumbull,

although of course you may be!

Discussion - good

Personal attack - bad

Bossing people about - irritating but nothing to get steamed up about

What have I got here?

Chionodoxa - Ma always called them Glory of the Snow One appeared on our Shady Bank this week - I didn't plant it and there weren't any there last year - well, not that could be seen as it was smothered in ivy then - obviously removing the ivy, and turning the bank back into a flower border has woken it up

I don't know the figures, but I have it on very good authority that our local (National) GC had their highest takings ever last Thursday - obviously because we'd been promised a good weekend's weather - gardeners aren't daft

Also, I wonder how many garden centres are busy ordering in alpines because of an upsurge in interest following last week's programme?

Still Very Slow

Well, they ought to be out in their gardens, or soaking their aches and pains in a long hot bath

Good morning all Bright blue skies and sunshine here again today - it got up to 23C in our garden yesterday so the same as Swiss Sue's garden, and only dropped to 10C overnight - a bit more like it

I've got a day off work today, so will be able to get into the garden again (when I've made the bread and rhubarb & custard cake). I will use the Kenwood for the kneading

Yes MMP ((hug)) hope you're feeling better

Today I have potted on my lollipop bay which was desperately potbound, sown my sweetpeas at last and some other seeds that I'm too tired to type out, planted some lilies in pots, started a new compost heap, tidied up a corner of the garden, dug over part of the veg patch (much to the delight of a pair of blackbirds with a family to feed) weeded part of the Shady Bank and supervised the Under Gardener who mowed the lawn.

Oh, and I checked the garden thermometer - it reached 22C in the shade today

Now I'm going to put my feet up and snooze - more gardening to be done tomorrow.

See you tomorrow folks.

I've been out in the garden all day - when we've eaten our roast beef and Yorkies I'll tell you everything we've done - suffice to say at the moment that a bottle of Cotes du Rhone Village is half empty the birds are singing and the doves are cooing and we have the dining room door to the garden open and the scent of hyacinths is wafting in
