Before Scarlet shouts at me again  (see F) I thought it was time to start another letter!
I've also Stickied the threads so we can add to them more easily.

So, let's go with Flowers beginning with G
Gazania
Geranium
Gerbera
Gypsophila
Grape Hyacinth
 
Any favourites, likes, dislikes??

   

Anyone know what this stuff is, noticed it growing on the trunk and major branches of one of our trees.

The idea is that you list 7 jobs that you want to do during the week and then report back on how you did. 
Complete all the jobs and you get a Gold Star;  Fail and it'll be something unpleasant.

We'll start at the weekend - publish your List on Sunday, start on Monday and complete it by the following Sunday - something like that anyway!!

I may have asked this before but is there a dedicated thread in the right section of the site, rather than one I may have started in the general discussion?

Sorry If I am not making any sense I'm knackered

Torrential rain for the last two days - we've had over 60mm in 24hrs and still have another nine or ten hours of heavy rain to come. It is no wonder we are on Red Alert for rain and flooding, plus avalanches in the mountains.

This has followed two weeks of dry weather and is forcast to be followed by another fortnight of calm weather. 
Is this the new normal?

Sorry, me again  I'm reading up on mint for cut flowers.

Now I've always got peppermint on the go, I've had the furry leaf one? But that died as the pot got neglected...had a few over the years and it's only peppermint that had survived. 
But I would like to try a couple for cut flowers, maybe just start a new one in a pot on my new patio....
Now chocolate mint didn't live for very long, I've never heard of buddlea mint? Any mints you think will grow a reasonable stem?

A bit of a long story but in the autumn I emptied the 2 maybe even 3 yr old kitchen waste compost bin and distributed the contents around and about but mostly on the gh borders.

The sun shined (finally) today so I started digging over the gh borders incorporating the kitchen compost.  There were loads of unrotted teabag casings which leads me to think they may be plastic. Thinking to determine whether the teabags I use these days (typhoo decaf for P if I can find it, Aldi summat for me) I was quite surprised to find that my current Aldi decaf claims  to be 100% biodegradable but Typhoo say nothing  either on the pkt or website.  I've asked Typhoo for clarification,  I wonder what the answer will be.

Hope you’re having a great birthday. Have a slice of cake  

   

Ok, I'm going to try to log everything I do - see how each flower grows and whether it's worth cutting.
I've started a FB page for the same but it's good to have it in a couple of places!

This week I've planted up some of by the ranunculas in my old greenhouse borders. I wrapped with fleece last night and the night before but they are already getting hammered with mice.

I caught 3 last night
2 the night before
Just seen one diving for cover when he saw me!

This came up on my fb . It’s mildly amusing but it’s all wrong   .

   

What would your pie chart look like?
