Daydream thread continues.....

Hopefully we will get some rain overnight - we really need it as had nothing serious since the snow melted. Windy right now but not as strong as with you down south - expected to increase tomorrow.

Am amazed by the apple trees - gone from bud to blossom in a very short time; first couple on the Egremont opened on 7 May which is less than a week late. The blackthorn, plum, cherry and some pears are also coming out; all very late.

Rain rain and more rain

I am so over the whole endless rain thing! No work done in the garden today as the soil is saturated. What I did do however was contact a heather nursery to find out what plants would suit the conditions in my front garden. I just want the area covered in something low, fast growing and low maintenance.

We got the rain in the end! Gave up in the polytunnel when I couldn't hear the radio any more. :eek:

The wind predicted was the reason I shopped yesterday. I don't fancy some of the routes I take when it's like this, especially after that big branch fell in front of me near Winkleigh.

Before the rain, I got a few irises planted by the stream. I smiled, because in the early 90s we holidayed down here and bought some water plants from a little specialist nursery at Wembworthy. They went into our pond at the last house, and now some of them are back again, only a few miles from where they started!

Galium odoratum, Sweet Woodruff?

Not all over, 'cos it disappears in winter, but it copes with damp very well and pops up early. Used it in a difficult shady area in my last garden and grew stuff through it.

Here, it is coping with full sun, but I shall steal a bit soon and take it down to the stream, just in case we have a hot, dry summer.....:rotfl:

Hope it goes ok CTC. If youre up to it I think (!) viewing is until 7, but I'd give them a ring just in case

Alf, have pmd you.

Cold here, it's nearly mid May and the veg beds still look almost bare . The seeds sown indoors have been a near total failure, really not sure what has gone wrong. Will have to buy young plants at the car boot/local fair.

Lots of stuff in blossom, no insects about though.

It never ceases to amaze me what people will pay for secondhand goods. I'm afraid I take a very hard nosed view as my parents had secondhand and "antiques" shops when I was growing up and they wouldn't have dreamed of paying more than a quarter or less of the items "new" price, especially considering they would then have to turn a profit on it. However, you see people paying more for something secondhand which they then have to transport, which has no warranty more than you might buy one new in a sale! Beggars belief. Rant over
