3: Gardening Diaries ...

[Perki]

How come your selling up Alp ? if you don't mind me asking, do you need a big garden to get all these plants in ?

 

[alp]

In my wish, I would like to have Upsy's garden in the same area, with trees around. I have to make a list, but I haven't won the lottery, so I am afraid it could be downsizing.

Didn't do any gardening, it's been raining all day. Good thing that i had to do some marmalade.

Next week it's jam tarts.

Well here at Harrogate it as rained none stop all day but not to worry still a very good spring show here’s a few plant pics

Gosh, the triliums are beautiful What is that pink beauty please - the one near the bottom. Zenj - You must have had a lovely time. I always like the green chrysan. The salmon colour of the daff is stunning.

You're so lucky to have got free tickets.

Cleaned the front door and the gutter. Now onto the porch.

Bought an LG 43UJ630V with 6 year warranty for £325. Going to fast!

Great pictures Zenj, I take it you had a good day out but for the weather.

Looks like you've got enough marmalade to share with the group logan

Been out to the GH and potted on the busy lizzies - trailing petunia which take ages when they start getting tangled up, and one of my tomato plants suncherry premium which is delicious, as good as sungold.
GH staring to fill up but I've got a feeling I am going to have to bring some in for the weekend / week.

Well done, Perki! So productive. What kind of compost do you use?

Stunning pics @Zenj .......lucky you!!!!

Nice full greenhouse @Perki ... I've moved a lot of mine out to the cold frames from my greenhouse.. you're worrying me now saying you're bringing some back in

 

[alp]

I think @Zenj has got a new toy too. What make is your new camera please? Stunning pics it takes. Well, Upsy D: Perki lives much further north than us. Having said that Monday weather is going to be heavens opening all in one go!

So wet and cold this afternoon, just off to pick up baby son then heading straight out to the Carvery......yum that should warm me up.

I am using levington compost at the moment but use westland often, it depends on what the GC has in stock , they sell 4 bags 50litre for £10 so get what ever they have at that price.

It far from full yet, still got lots of plants in the house. this is a picture from another year when it is full

A lot of that to keep your warm. I'm freezing here! And the milk has turned rancid!

Crikey! Such a lovely sight! Satisfaction guaranteed. Soon your gh will look like this. This has been a rotten year. I must turn my eyes away or I will reach out for seed pods whilst trying to clear the lean to in preparation for viewing.

I been out and took some pictures of a tulips called Pink impression and its a beauty. Got some of the crown imperial fritillaria I was on about the other day, it a bit odd have they have grown, one is quite tall nearly 4ft and then 2 others smaller and then another 2 which are barely over a foot tall
