Non Support of Poor Companies

Yes, there is internet etiquette, which is fine for those of us in the know, but even in 2013 there are people who don't know the etiquette - we wouldn't be rude or ridicule people from different cultures, and on the same basis we won't jump on people who don't know.

It's saddened me when this has been done on here in the past - hopefully it'll not happen any more.  A gentle explanation is all that is needed

Can I suggest the old fashioned trailing nasturtiums  TT - planted in pots around it, they'll scramble over it and hide it quickly, and you can use the leaves in sandwiches and pickle the seeds as capers

 Fabulous day - busy in the garden - absolute bliss 

All day I've been thinking .... this is the last summer that I'll have to fit my gardening into the weekends - next summer I can get up in the morning and go out and garden all day if I want to - I actually got a bit damp around  the gills thinking about it

Oooh it's been luuuuuuuuuverly !!!  OH came home half way through the afternoon and said I had a big grin from ear to ear.

 I've spent most of the day out in the garden, digging and raking the veg patch and planting the strawberries (Mara Bois  as recommended by Mr Don), and I've scrubbed out the bird bath, and mainly wandered around looking at things with a grin on my face.

I sat out on the terrace with a cuppa in the sunshine and watched the birds - a female blackbird getting a beakful of little worms and flying off into the neighbour's hedge - she must have some eggs that have hatched .  The goldfinches and chaffinches in the ashtrees were singing away and the tits were darting about looking busy.  It's been an absolutely bdooly gorgeous day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
