Alfie...

Another weird thing I am looking for....

Very ornate cupboard doors...only the doors, and mirrored. I want to use a single width one ...like a big single door cupboard ideally, as a door to our bedroom at the end of the corridor past the bathroom, so , corridor width! But want to use then for all the doors in the master suite. Not matching is perfect.

Where do beautiful cupboards go to die??.[/QUOTE]

MY GARAGE....:rotfl::rotfl:

get measurements for me [dont forget a frame allowance]

actually ,thinking about it it would look cool to have the whole front with door in the middle as the frame......

By all accounts Funeral went ok.. hubby made sure he was in the second row, next to my brother... Hubby asked my brother about half brother, and how I wanted to find him, he was at the funeral, and my brother met him for the first time today... straight after the funeral he was going to Turkey.. so hubby didn't have a chance to see him etc.. so my brother is going to try and find out his contact details... right... off to get some bits and heading up to the ranch... so catch you all later.....

Picked up a star jasmine {Trachelospermum jasminoides}, thinking it would be OK for the new pergola. Oops, H4 so not reliably hardy in Scotland!

So have planted up, am hardening off before putting out and will return to the conservatory over winter. Am fortunate that the previous owners put in the radiator so conservatory never dips below zero.



Note the Morrisons flower-pot (99p for six) is a good fit to the Aldi clay pot...

Beautiful garden, roses & jasmine pics folks.

CTC - you sometimes get when someone leaves your life another person enters it. Sounds like you may get to know your other brother better eventually? Families are funny beasts.......Hope it goes well - what ever the outcome.

Hot day here & managed to move the rayburn & lower it & get it back in the right place - a rather tricky job that involved levers, crow bar, scaffolding poles as rollers, a strong neighbour & some colourful language.

That was all afternoon, plus we caught up with the happenings in a neighbouring township......it's a hot bed don't ya know!

Off to my lair as it's holidoid home swill oot tomorra.

Easily warmest day of the year so far here in Glasgow!

Emptied the conservatory of all the agaves and cacti so they don't cook. Just enjoying watching the bees, won't touch the trowel until it cools off a bit...

I have spoken, I meant to reply about your tulips, have you lifted them yet?

I actually like the funny shape of the seed pod( ?) left after the petal has fallen so I leave that til the stem or leaves yellow then just removes any thing above ground with secateurs. Not sure what you are MEANT to do. Saw a few years ago Monty saying to treat them like annuals but consider returns bonuses. I cannot afford to do that but I haven't lost any yet, infact the patches I like least seem bigger. We're cooler than Alfie but considerably milder than you!

I've lifted the tulips in the beds, replacing with dahlia Bishop of Llandaff.

These are tulip 'Queen of the Night' which I read are likely to repeat, so have potted them up, given them a feed and will leave them to get as much sun as possible over the next few months.

The trouble is I don't have space for a south facing 'cuttings' bed where I could leave all the other tulips. For the sake of £10 for 30 bulbs, I'd rather have certainty of a good display next year by buying afresh...

Anyhow, as threatened here took out the rhododendron which as freed up a decent amount of space in front garden. I have plenty of self-seeded Centaurea montana (perennial cornflower) to go in, a white phlox, spurge and some of the 'over' tulips.
