When you first started at the FB, Sheila, I looked for where they are in Lincs and I’ve just checked again. Unfortunately they’re miles away from me. The lunch club idea is good – I’ll ask at the shop.

He sprays his crop, as you would expect, Anne, but doesn’t cut the wild stuff near my house nor his huge trees on his side of the ditch alongside my garden, for which I’m grateful.

Hello Cilla
better to have your feet done than your hair in this weather! I can’t remember your leylandii at the front – is it between houses?-
It is Jane. Us and the one below.

Morning Sheila
my language was at least the same as yours! Never had greengages before moving here and very nice they are, too. Three or four huge trees on the lane, in the sunniest spot, just waiting for me… Hope yesterday went well for you.-
you lucky, lucky gal …. mmm greengages
-
Could I entreat you to pick a large quantity and donate them to the nearest foodbank or lunch club? We are all struggling at the moment with increased demand and smaller donations – and a couple of foodbanks up here have closed because they have no food to give out. But anybody eating the stuff we give out must long for some fresh food. I’ve…[Read more]

Oh, no, Karen – you need to sit down and think about that while drinking a very big cup of coffee! If you’re not going out, you don’t need to iron
-
Morning again Karen.,I would come and do it but they may cancel the flights due to high winds.
-
-
Harrumph, feeble excuse Cilla.
-
-
Good plan Jane, I’ll go and get another coffee immediately.
Not even my clothes! Bloomin OH’s shirts. 
-
OH’s shorts
Dom won’t let me iron his and the pocket flaps get all wrinkled and tucked up if I don’t ,which frankly looks a mess so I do them anyway 
-
I definitely draw the line at shorts Anne.

Lovely walk, Anne
Teasels are magnificent! The farmer’s field has always had a couple on the edge since I first planted one in my garden -

Morning Cilla
they’d be welcome to my sedum as it never stands up straight Must water all the pots this morning after that wind yesterday and more today. Does nothing for my hair either Is Maureen B still surviving?-
Mauren B at the front had fallen over but is unharmed and now wedged in with a geranium pot. Maureen in the greenhouse is taking over but I can see seed pods emerging
-
If you give your sedum the Chelsea chop in May, it should stay upright.

Morning clickers
very breezy again already – hope you’ll all be safe today Planted my winter lettuce seedlings in an empty tomato bed in the g/h yesterday – pleased with them. Will do the other leaves today, I think – pak choi, rocket, mizuna and such like. Determined not to have to buy leaves over the winter. My neighbours’ greengages are…[Read more]-
Morning Jane.,I must plant some more leaves too. Bought rocket is always so tough
Greengages are yummy, you will enjoy those You will have to go on slug patrol with your torch. I found two snails…..would you believe they eat the tough leaves of a sedum? They didn’t get a flying lesson last night, I put them in the compost heap to get…[Read more]-
Oh Cilla!!won’t they lay eggs into the compost and grow babies to eat your seedlings when you next put out the compost around the garden??

Morning Jane, well done on the “leaf” sowing, you’ve encouraged me to do the same – might find some room shortly.
And wowser on the greengages, imagine not wanting them! 
Bummer on the PSB though. 
Have a lovely sowing day. -

Sorry to hear about your Purple Sprouting,what a pity You have inspired me however and now the clearing and re-vamping of the cold frame is a MUST. I want to try Winter leaves for salads myself…never done it before

Probably Anne, but I don’t worry about it

Bugga that slug! Got no respect for that solitary seedling, doesn’t appreciate that it has struggled onwards when fellow seedlings have faltered and died – hope the d*mned slug choked on it.
Think your neighbour with the unwanted greengages must be mad – but it will enable you to eat them in various recipes every day after the courgette lasagne.…[Read more]-
