    Oh that's pretty! It looks a bit like a strawflower?


    I should have a bundle of seeds arriving today. Lots of wildflowers, then some veggies to get in the ground at the weekend. And of course, I'll need to plant the 4th generation of giant sunflowers, aka "The Children of Gigantor" 😁

    That's really lovely of you both. I bet the hospital really appreciates the crochet work dawnie does! ☺️

    So grateful our gardener has come back from his winter trip to Morocco. The cirnus shrubs are so high and will need a real heavy prune. Last year i was not well enough to do much gardening and so far this year is starting the same but with a different illness!

    Remember, the old farmers always advised not to plant until you could sit bare bottomed on the spil!

    ah we dont have grass back garden is all plants front garden is a few pots and a mostly moss lawn with a bit of grass in it there are 3 rather large trees that when leafed up keep the front in shade all summer the mess he makes is a small price for the enjoyment we get from watching him

    Unfortunately there's a lot of announced posts currently, so we're unable to sticky this one just yet, sorry @michael57 but the two discussions have at least been merged now. 😊

    tip for hanging baskets place an old saucer in the bottom to act as a reservoir for less water loss
