I hope you all had a good weekend, enjoy today. Springwatch starts tonight -
Surprise, surprise? Fab, Cilla and I hope you enjoy yourself!! How exciting! Hope the sun shines for you

Morning clickers
very breezy here and a lot of cloud but it should be a nice day. Watering in the g/hs to do and a lot of pottering around, I expect. Possibly a snooze – up until just after 1a.m. – most unlike me 
Have a good day, everyone -
Morning Jane. I couldn’t stay up so read the results this morning
Definitely a snoozette for you but no outside watering enjoy your monday -
thank you, Cilla …

This is the first year I feel organised and ahead of myself in the garden. Beans, butternut squash, tomatoes, cabbage, courgette, parsnips, carrots. You name it, its growing in my garden. I’ve even planted two pots with flowers can you believe it.
-
Good to see you back Teen, I feel as I’m just about on top of things, lots growing and I shall be planting out next weekend as we are away for a few days this week. Like you I could do with some rain, garden is looking very dry.
-
Good morning Teen, good to see you came back to see us
You are growing a lot, that’s great I hope you back problems are in the past now. Would love to see some photos of your veggies. -
Morning, Teen

Nice to see you well, have not seen that activar since the first GC it always makes me smile.

You win some
After a week in the Glassroom, a Rhondda Black & Pollinator are peeping through … with x2 more black beans to come in this pot -
well done Anne.
-
Well done the beans Lynn
-
Morning Anne and Lynn. My beans are just peeping through in their toilet roll middles in the g/h
-
That’s an idea for transplanting I’d forgotten about Cilla …. thanks
My toilet rolls are all shredded for the composter 
-
BTW these are much bigger this morning

It’s a small comfort at least, that many of these fungal threats are only specific to one plant type!!

Thank you Jane
… what a lot of ‘nasties’ are lurking out there, ready to pounce on our garden plants!!!… glad my instinct to take off affected parts is approved at least…wonder what’s coming next

Well I don’t need to go out ongarden visits…have visited two very different gardens this morning from my Den …. one glorious with colour, the other mouthwateringly promising with food!
Good morning Garden Peops Have a lovely day wherever you go and whatever you are doing, rain or shine -
Morning clickers. No gardening for me as we are off to ComicCon in a mo’ which is at the Excel centre in my old stomping ground of East London but I have been gardening over the past couple of days and I bought some plants yesterday
The fire bowl came on Friday and that has spurred us on to dig over the patch of ground where it is all…[Read more]-
Have a fun time Jenn
-
Morning Jenn. No idea what ComicCo is but I hope you enjoyed it. Look forward to seeing the fire pit when it is done.

Morning Jenn
Have a great Bank Holiday Monday, too

Must be getting keener on gardening again,just planted runner beans out in the rain.
-
Nice one Johnmichael
[ may I call you JM ?]
it’s dry and sunny here in CP; most un-Bank-Holiday-like!!
HAGD -
So little time so much to do. I rigged up a cover for my cabbages in the drizzle you aren’t alone. Dare I say I need more rain because my waterbutt is now on a trickle.
-
Hi Teen, lovely to ‘see ‘ you … rain is good … we had only a few spits and spots this dull afternoon
Hope your back is all good now HAGE

Yes thats fine Gertie.

Morning clickers
tipping it down here but not unexpected – saves me watering outside Have a lovely day, everyone!-
Jane…good morning!
Jane, I found rust on one of my Bellis last night, and I took off the affected leaves and stems, decimating the shape of the plant. Good job I did as the advice [when I looked it up later] said to do just that. It also said not to spray water over the leaves
Even in a tiny space like the GGTardis , I don’t fancy…[Read more] -
I’m not sure I’m the right one to ask, Anne – I only water the veg in the raised beds, the tomatoes in the green house, and the perennials and blueberries I have in a few pots. The rest of the garden doesn’t get watered at all except by the rain – this means the plants just have to make longer roots to reach moisture and if they don’t…
-
Ah
… Longer roots
Isn’t it interesting how different all our gardens and methods are
Thanks Jane

Morning clickers. My friends in Herefordshire requested some photos of the garden so I thought I’d share them with you while it is looking good.-
OH’s “pinetum” coming on nicely
-
This border comes into its own later with Lemon Queen, eupatorium, salvia, helianthemum, veronicastrum, sedums and aster frickartii monch.
-
You can hardly see any water now that everything has grown!
-
3 courgettes were planted in that bare patch yesterday.
-
Beautiful, Cilla! I love the different heights of everything
-
Lovely
-
Definitely coming on nicely
-
Nice
-
Another picture later then but I can imagine…
-
Yes, but its wonderful
-
All your own work then
-
Just perfect, Cilla
-
Now how did pussy cat sneak in
-
The best front garden ever
-
As I was saying
-
Lovely pictures the garden looks lovely and am quite envious of some of your plants but nice to see them in your garden. What is the pink shrub in the first picture please. You are lucky to have an OH to mow the lawn!!!!!!! I am being tempted to make a border a bit bigger and put an acer in which is in a pot.
-
Did you see the fir nursery on Chelsea programme I think it was in Scotland some lovely things!
-
…such softness and colour
-
Happy Cat!
and how do you keep the space under the Bird feeders so clean and clear It must need hoovering every day! -
… and I love the deep blue Ceanothus
-
So peaceful
-
…and that’s a pretty Clematis [?] I see in the corner? What is the plant being allowed to live in the bottom right corner of the photo?
-
It certainly is
… absolutely glorious use of grasses -
WOW!
-
Another lovely blend of colours
-
-
So pretty …what’s the cage for?
-
Am running out of adjectives!
It’s sopretty -
A glorious Canvas Cilla
I love it all, having toured through backwards so to speak -
It is a ground feeder for the smaller birds A nne to keep cats and pigeons etc out
-
Some of those are self sown.
-
Lovely clem in the wrong place Anne and chives, parsley and rocket in the corner.
-
OH moves the bird feeder every other day as the suet balls make a mess but the pjgeons clear up too.
-
Thank tou girls. After looking tatty and sparse all winter it has suddenly burgeoned with self sown field poppies, ox eye daisies and loads of other stuff…I love it.
-
Thank you Tubs. The pink shrub is Rosa chinensis mutabilis and smells beautiful. The petals turn different muted colours. If OH wasn’t here to mow the lawn, it would be gravel
-
No we missed that one.
-
I have someone to mow the front lawn it awkward shape but it takes me a few sitdowns to do the back but I do like grass,
-
Thank you just looked it up looks good
-
Oh! That’s an idea…do you have many birds using it?

Morning Anne. How lovely. There seem to be loads of bees around this year
Enjoy your sunday. -
Nice one, Anne and good morning
-
Good morning Cilla
GGTardis has had a variety of Bees all through the year and at the moment they are loving the tiny pink flowers on this variegated Whateverit’scalled -
Good morning Jane
Granddaughter noticed them too as she came past the garden gate. They are amazing -
I think it is a cotoneaster Anne.

Oh Cilla…I should have asked you sooner
Thank you

Beautiful. You have so much SPACE Vashte ! I am deeply in awe of it
Nightnight -
You have some lovely flowers Vashte and your veg must keep you going through winter. I don’t know how you fit it all in.
-
All very lovely, Vashte!
-
These lilies are perfect Vashte.
Downstair’s front garden has just a few just beginning to bloom -
this is so organised and tidy Vashte and those hedges at the back!!
-
Do you water under every plant daily?
-
They are amazing Vashte
-
No Anne, we are only watering the peas.
-
Hmmm, I have a lot to learn about crops, but you’ll be pleased to hear that the Teddies are growing, even tho’ I inadvertently credited their provenance to Tubs at first
Will post pics again when there is more to show … and thank you Vashte. -
That’s ok, we are all friends and prise to one is prise to all. Looking at mines today and they are growing well. Just wish we get some rain.
-
Thank you Vashte
Am hoping for some rain tonight, we had so little this afternoon, but there was a pretty pink/blue/grey sky here earlier, which presages a nice day tomorrow so who knows? HANE

Here are two happy Teddies …. more to come I hope
I have already planted them out, one behind some new plants on Blue Hill from another Garden friend, and one in a pot with Myosotis, also from yet another garden friend.
GGTardis reminds me of so many friends as well as my happy childhood and Granddad with his scented, tiny, p…-
They should be good Anne
-
Fingers crossed they have the effect you want, Anne
-
I am being dim this morning what are teddies? other than bears!
-
Tubs!!! They are the Sunflowers from the seeds you sent me
Let’s hope that are happy where I have put them … more to come I hope -
Not seeds from me, I have not sent anyone seeds
-
Oh dear, my humblest apologies Tubs
My memory is playing tricks on me. I am sorry. -
No need to apologise am flattered that you thought I could save seeds!!
-
Other than beans!
-
Bless you Tubs
… as if you couldn’t anyway Thanks
