        Have a good day everyone :spinning:

          Good day everyone
          We are still a bit chilly here but looking forward to days being nicer as the weeks wears on.

          I am very excited as I just found and ordered my new kitchen sink. The fellow across the street is a contractor and has time to install it this coming week. I also have roofers coming around this week to install new shingles and then shortly after that, new siding will be getting installed. Lots of money out but then the house will be looking spiff again. :)

          Have a safe and warm day :)

              Looking forward to the Open Day, Shiney! Just wondering whether you will have any crocosmia/montbretia in the plant sale? :)

                Just been out in the greenhouse (yes in my dressing gown at 6:30am) and had a tray of rudbeckia seeds growing which should have been pricked out aaages ago. Well I've had to break the tray up into clumps and pot on as the roots were all intertwined (no way I could have done them individually). Could I have done anything difference or is this how rudbeckias should be potted on? (It's my first time ever growing flowers from seeds).

                          Good day everyone
                          It went down to 33.1f last night. I did put some plants out in the gardens yesterday but only ones that were going into cold frames and from unheated greenhouses. Basically just a dirt swap. So far they look okay. Time will tell. :heehee:

                          Got a get together with my girlfriends today. We're having a games afternoon. Don't know if it's scrabble or euchre or what but always a good time :)

                          Have a safe and warm day please :)

                            Not a problem @Snorky85 :dbgrtmb:. I'll sort some out after I've put the sprinkler on the bed. The ones that I've got are the big red ones. They were supposed to be Lucifer but aren't quite such a deep red as Lucifer.

                              They look lovely! I'd planted some corms etc but they haven't done well for some reason. Would love some to go in my "hot colours" front border with my kniphofia, geum mrs bradshaw, coreopsis golden joy etc. :spinning::SUNsmile:

                                They can get quite tall so need to be at the back of the border. I'll pot some up and put a reserved sign on it.
