Isn't this fun

I've got 40 toms in 4" pots - they spend their days in the mini greenhouse and a plastic growhouse - or even out on the lawn if the weather is good and OH is at home to tomato-sit - at bedtime we go out and bring them all indoors to spend the night in the studio - talk about being molly-coddled - but it is really much too cold to do anything else at the moment - and at the moment it's raining torrential cats and dogs

If it hasn't got any buds yet it's probably not going to flower this spring. How old is it?

Mmmm, I was thinking more of something that would hug the base of the pillar, to really accentuate it - like a really good euphorbia

Are these leopard slugs?

We have lots of the the orange version of the huge black ones http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_slug They get amorous on our lawn on damp mornings in the summer - we leave them alone as they also eat little slugs - they only vegetable matter when it is decaying. We have no damage on our hostas or on our delphiniums

I'm still crossing my fingers tho'

MORNING FORKERS

Well, the sun's been shining here and I've spent the day in the garden - OH mowed the back lawn, I did the edges, hoed the little weeds out of the veg patch and planted some violets, a white dicentra and a Granny's bonnet. I tied up some clematis stems and everything looks lovely - and I got two loads of washing dry too.

Now it's pouring with rain so we've popped 40 tomato plants back into the little greenhouse until they come back indoors at bedtime. We've got the washing in and folded and now I'm sitting on the sofa with an unaccustomed mug of Earl Grey.

Shall I order a charabang for our holibobs?
