MORNING FORKERS

morning gang

Black clouds and a bit of wet but I don't think it will come to much. Got a heap of shredding waiting out there and it gets bigger by the day. Better get it done. Last time it was a real mountain, took me 2 days and then incapacitated with sciatica for weeks. Not helpful but spring failed to materialise so not critical. 

I won't be throwing out any plants. Might do a bit of light pricking out after the shredding.

Gardens And Beyond...........

Glad it's not just me lyn. I'm forever digging plants up as dead, then finding they're not,  or treading on bulbs as they come through, 

Small Wildlife pond

Quite embarrassing really. 

Back after a long slog

If spring is on Saturday I shall just wander around and enjoy it.

I won't though, I'll soon have the fork out or get that heap of sticks through the shredder. 

Small Wildlife pond

If I don't pull some blanket weed off the pond I won't know what is going on in there.

What is this?

I think one or the other will do for me. I'd like to have some garden left for other plants

Hi zampano

G. macrorrhizum is available but often sold as Bevan's variety, bright pink, or Ingwersen's variety, much lighter in colour. Might be because, unlike us, they can't spell macrorrhizum. Or perhaps they think it will put the customers off.

Don't be tempted by 'Album', the white one, it's a really feeble grower.

Back after a long slog

I'd like to think spring had sprung but today large parts of the surrounding Fenland were on the move in the howling gale. All I want is a still, warm dry sunny day. Is that too much to ask?

welcome back BB.

Climbing Ivy

If it looks nice just cut some back from time to time and keep it under control. Ivy is a problem if it takes over the tree and shuts out the light from the tree's leaves, or when it makes a deciduous tree far heavier and stop more wind in the winter, can blow over in extreme cases. But if you keep it controlled, no probs.
