    Oh dear KK! :rotfl: Hope you feel better by the end of the day! :D

    Morning Pippi (and everyone else!) Sun's not shining here any more - hope it is for you! :T Out into the garden today, wish I had you closer at hand for a bit of inspiration! Don't really know where to start! :o

    Glad to hear that you are all progressing so well with your sowing!

    Pippi, sounds like the write up is nearly over? Good luck with submitting it.

    I guess I missed what is happening with DD and flying at Easter, but hope it is all sorted now

    I'm waiting til my mp3 player has charged up so I can listen to Harry Potter while I'm doing it :D And I'm going to take my dotty egg timer outside and just start with 15 minutes and do as much as I can :D I'm also going to try and concentrate on one area, so I can really notice a difference! :T

    (of course, what REALLY needs doing is that I need to move the compost bin to the other end of the garden... a big and probably extremely GRIM job that I'm not looking forward to doing on my own, but haven't managed to talk anyone else into help with :rotfl: In reality it'll probably take about 20 minutes :rotfl:) Also need to figure out how to fill the path in and build a fence - not good at things like that! :o

    Will take photos before, and after (although I anticipate they won't look much different :rotfl:)

    All this gardening talk inspired me to get out there & do something. On the basis that a weed is any plant plant growing in the wrong place, I got DS to chop down a 15 foot weed earlier :rotfl:. My garden doesn't get the sun from mid-afternoon, but there is then a shaft of sunlight between us & next door which hits the corner where this big weed was. Am now planning on putting down a few slabs so I can stick a chair there and enjoy what little sun there is. My weed was a maple, possibly Norwegian? Variegated so should have been pretty but was actually v boring & the birds didn't like it.

    Have also started to get rid of a large em..... climbing weed thing :o which was behind it & also brambles. I'll need to move a little em......variegated thingy which gives ground cover and also a Mahonia (you see I do know SOME plants :)). Not sure how easy that will be, it's about 3' tall.

    Also planted some herbs, violas and some little shrubs from the hospital corner at Wilkinsons. So, 1 big thing dead, others on their way, but lots of new stuff :D

    Well done everyone else :)

    Well gardened GallyGirl! :T :T

    I've been gardening too - mostly pulling up things and piling things in a corner :D Repotted my supermarket lettuces, but I fear they may just be too far gone cos I didn't do it the other day :o Let's see if can rescue any. Feeling a little better about the garden now! :T

    Hope your day was cheery Fay! :j
