I expect Mrs MacGregor could see his good points

Fairygirl, I think they might not be good when they start, but by the time they've done a bit, and if they've learned to stick at it, then goodness grows, just like everything else

Do you know, it's so good to be able to go to work and not worry about what's going on on this board - last week I was quite anxious about people being hurt and upset, and I kept hiding in the loo with my iPhone Never done that before. Now I think we're all going to be fine and I can get on with my work (for just a little while longer ).

Isn't it great that we can care so much about people we've never met - I think that means there's hope for the future of the world - why don't they put gardeners in charge?

Hmmmmmmmm - probably 'cos we wouldn't have the time, would we?

Perennial project the forum way

Possibly we thought you were a chap because of Leandro Salino, the football player

What gorgeous gardens Salino - and how wonderful to have such precious memories.

Good morning all Yes the site was slow last night wasn't it - I went to bed early.

Figrat - thanks for the reminder - I did remember to go to the GC and get a garden thermometer - I've just been out to check and it got down to +1C last night (well, it's still there) but that's a definate improvement on recent nights I'm sure.

I also got a new pot for my lollipop bay which is in urgent need of repotting, some Blood,Fish & Bone, a big plastic saucer to use as a birdbath at work, some bird food and some wild-type foxglove seeds. I've got a plan - you may remember that I'm retiring later this year? What! You didn't know? I've mentioned it often enough I'm sure .......................... Anyway, where I work has Fox in it's name and is in the middle of some mature slightly unkempt gardens which I've sort of kept an eye on rather than leave it to the random strimming of the chaps who mow the lawns. I'm going to scatter foxglove seeds in sheltered spots under the apple and cherry trees, in the bed by my window and some other little corners - no one will notice anything this year (they're not "gardeners") but next summer, when I'm not there, there will be foxgloves flowering all over the place - and they'll be there for ever - I'll have left an indelible mark

the perils of summer!

Got any 'ose?

I've got to find a bigger pot for my bay tree - it's very cramped indeed - so if I go the the GC at lunchtime I might get myself that thermometer too - if I remember!
