Rainy here, but not as heavy as was forecast.

Blinking cold tho , just about to turn the thermostat on to kick in the heating and have changed from a 3/4 cardi into a full sleeved fleece !!

morning all very wet here again ,seems cold too but only been to the bin so far

Hi ladies~~

It's a bad time of yr for the garden,.... one reason I stick to hardy perennial especially where we live.

Been windy here, recyclable food bin was at the end of the patio , and the main bin tho almost full had moved a few yards :(...... this morning.

Hubby's next 'project' is to knock down the front wall and make another 'drive' to put dau's car on .... so it is off the road.. It could fit on our existing drive ,but they'd have to be swapping them around all the time if there were cos there'd be 3 in a line ! 4 if I bought another one !! No need tho :)
Dau used to use mine, but then needed to use it for work occasionally ..., quite often now she has promotion and my insurers or others wouldn't insure a named driver for work purposes, so we part ex'd mine and bought a new one for her, where I and hubby are named drivers... but the upkeep is now her responsibility :)
If hubby does go ahead with his 'project' that it would probably mean digging out my Siberian Pea Tree, which is pendulous with small yellow flowers and extremely hardy... as the name suggests, I hope I can replant it some where else. It maybe too old now tho:(
Shame your pot has broken Maz., mine is sentimental, being my nan's.It must be over 60yrs old at least .I've had it for 30yrs !.It's extremely heavy when empty, I can't move it when it is planted.
Let's hope it survives.. we've already had a few heavy frosts!.
Rain forecast,so hope it's warmer!

morning all ,one of my pots has broken into little bits which i forgot , i have begun grabbing some weeds as i pass in the garden it all looks so tatty at the moment out there .

Rain, windy and cold here.
My gardens are snow free at last....for how long ..?
Not sure what to do with my nan's ceramic 'pot' , it's like and urn and is 15 inches high, we usually empty it and store it over the winter, in case it cracks, but hubby planted perennials in it, and we somehow forgot and it got left outside , still planted. The plants are flourishing despite 4 inches of snow on them.
I don't know what they are , not really suitable for the pot tho, they don't overhang it and seem to be quite small in height... so they will be transplanted later .
We've had quite a few severe frosts so I think I'll risk it and leave it where it is for now.
Hubby's come a very long way in his knowledge of gardening since we got married.. he didn't know a daisy from a tulip, but veg is his forte.
He also likes to plant the annuals for show in pots, but I sort out the shrubs and perennials.

Heavy frost over night , some sun has cleared it.... where it reaches, but it's gone back behind the clouds now:(
