I've eaten, walked Mum and gone for a coffee. I should be doing loadfs of things but can't be bothered.

decorating.......must go :(

 

That's what we should be doing. It's the getting started that's so hard. Sue

It's the having to keep on until it's finished that bothers me.

Going to get my Mum's tablets ready - and make sure she takes the right ones.

I'm sorry to hear about your Mum's problems, Meg. At least she is happy and in good hands.

O.K. Pam, I'm getting to the'what should you be doing' bit now.

I should be out in the garden, splitting and replanting perennials......we keep soldiering on but it is a race between our puny

efforts and the great force of Nature. The weeds and the plants are all growing far far too quickly!

I grow lots of weeds - the slugs and snai9ls don't eat them and some are very pretty.

And you can even buy packets of weed seeds nowadays ! I still prefer real (?) flowers. Cultivated is the word I was looking for.

My weeds are very real.

Some weedsare actually more prettier than real Flowers arn't they! :wub: .Its such a sahme to still call them weeds!I love gardening, Bri leaves it to me as my fingers are greener than his :lol: .We love this time of year too,actually Spring is my Fav season along with Autumn :D

 

I should be putting the kettle on and making cuppa's now ........anyone fancy a brew?? :lol:

I have a hot drink by my side. The garden is lovely now. The white and pink apple and pear blossem are out, the yellow nobly flowers, the beautiful dandelions and a sea of bluebells with white dead nettles and yellow flowers that look the same as they do (only yellow) . Beautiful

Your garden is more advanced than ours. Our pear trees are just swelling buds and the apple trees are still dormant. But the

daffodils are in flower, as are the muscaries and chionodoxas - lovely swathes of blue, and the tulips are nearly open. The rhododendrons and almond trees are clad in pink, but the bluebells will be a week or two yet. The winter pansies are in full glory. I'm digging out some of the bluebells....they multiply so rapidly. And I'm splitting and replanting the snowdrops (Sam Arnot) and crocosmias (Lucifer red, Jenny Bloom yellow, Spitfire orange etc) and the perennials.

Hard work now, but the results will be worth it. But why does the garden seem to get bigger each year!!!!

Ours gardens itself -apart from mowing the lawn, no problem. We rebuilt the luizards wall in Autumn so I'm hoping some come back and we've added to the piles of logs for the stag beatles.

Watch out for the adders.......they are said to have become more abundant!

I should be in the garden but it is raining.

It's only the bulbs out in our garden yet and the winter pansies, must be the colder weather here. The bluebells have started to come through and the buds on the camelia are almost ready to open. I was going to go out and pot some more pansies but it's started to rain. Good excuse to come on here though! ;) Sue

It seems odd that the climate can make such a difference within such a small country (as compared to the USA for example)

Oops, sorry Pam.

I should be thinking what I need to buy tomorrow........probably rack of lamb.

Daffodils, tulips and cameilia are completely finished. No rain here again - it's a couple of weeks since we've had any even though the bbc keeps threatening us with it.

 

I must go and finish cooking dinner. I should be doing that now.

The sun has just come out, so if the soil isn't too sticky I should be gardening.

Went to the garden store, but it's poured with rain all afternoon, so that's as far as it got. Sue

I should be going to bed. I'm going to try sleeping upstairs tonight as Mum seems a little better. I'll be on pins but I wasn't sleeping well on the living room floor.

I should be digging out bluebells but I'm sick of it........ I've already dug out hundreds. Years ago, before the controversy, I planted

white, pink and blue ones, not realising the Spanish ones are far more rampant than the English ones. I have left lots in one section

of the garden to enjoy. The pink and white ones seem to have disappeared.

Hope you had a better night's sleep, Meg.
