Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Morning all, on back to bladdy work again day *sigh *

Thanks for the info folks :) Right, yacky bits have been cut off me tree. It’s made a mess of the shape mind but needs must. I don’t think it’s affected anything near it, the useless plum and honeysuckle look unaffected, and the rose on the other side has its own problems (namely everything but that). That’s next on the list.

Is that one fewer sheep than before Dusty..? 🧐😆

Woohoo for runnerbeans and dahlias Farway the Cobra ones will be next, they’re just waiting to see what everyone else is doing before going for it *nodding *

Taff’s back! I can see now why you’ve been away - that bed looks fab 😃 That is one stuffed greenhouse, have you room for everything or do you sell some at your garden gate? Colour of your tulips too, mine all came yellow this year for some reason. 🤞🏻your foot is alright now..?

I predict your runners will come good 2p after all the bug removal work you’ve done. Karma innit. What will you do about your apricot? Are pill bugs bad..?

Cool to the point of almost being cold here. 6’ but feels like 4, and that’s not a warm breeze either. Sun’s out though, sort of, but it’s clouding up and it’ll be gone soon. As long as it stays out while I walk to work it’ll be alright.
Oh and I text Adored Grandson to see what my tatties are, he says he’ll ask the turf coal man next time he sees him.

Sun's out at last, dull start but I went off to Home B's first thing for compost & flower pots

Compost, only carp Levington Essential was available, but any port in a storm so grabbed it while is was there. And two square tubs for my round courgettes, or maybe my Cafe plate dahlias, plan B, the dahlias are looking very sturdy and have all the signs of needing a good hefty base if they are not to topple over. If I had flower borders they'd go in them

Still not secured the tree lily, a job for the sunshine. And another one here with tomato seedlings popping up now the soil has warmed up a bit, I'll leave them and see how they go. There is talk of Super El Nino, which means hot dry summer allegedly, ideal for outdoor toms,and grapes if I had any 🤨

Pill bugs? look up Scale Insect If it is then it's a systemic insecticide or if CBA and not zillions, dab with cotton bud dipped in meths

Hard work Taff, but looking good, love the tile bed

Continuing to harden off the runners, toms next. Whisper, shhh 🤫, but I think I spy flower buds on Paul Robeson, and Bajaja is sprouting from it's armpits, as it should being it's a baby bush one

OT, but cheery pic, DD has new puppy, IMO she needs her head testing but I think with DGDs curly sausage dog DD went soft. This one is a young relative of DGDs one, same mum, just a generation or so later. Takes after me, gets up about 0300 for a wee, then back to sleep, and sleeps a lot during the day 😁

All together now, Ahhhhhh

Oooooh that's gorgeous 😍😍😍

I rarely have a yen for a baby (I'd like them to come ready at 5yrs old) but puppies and kittens - I want one!

So have you got babysitting duties sorted out yet 😉
