Absolute cracker today. Might have some more sleepers down this afternoon, if I haven't used to much water in the postcrete. -
*Stormforce~beka* That'll be the compost and fertiliser.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Don't give up on that one. Stick it in a pot and see what happens. Just don't it cut back past the old wood, as it's unlikely to shoot from there.
-
*Stormforce~beka* It shouldn't need much watering. They're native to the med, so won't mind that. You could have saved yourself compost and fertiliser too, for the same reason. Have you got any broken oyster shells for the chickens? I don't see why that wouldn't work for drainage instead.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Take a snipping to see if it still has a green stem. If it does, you might be OK. Lavender likes poor soil and hates sitting in the wet. If you've just stuck it in the ground, that's probably why it's struggling. You can mix pea shingle in, or similar to ensure the soil around it drains well. Cloudy start this morning. No sign of any blue sky yet. Correction... Fair bit of blue above now. Off for a walk.

jy A large % of that would've been my Mrs and her mother. Now her tastes have upgraded to Farmer Gracey's , which are £££.
-
jy Haven't got that many. Will do a load for next year, now I know how easy they are. Are these all for your customers? B&B are dearer these days, since the change of ownership.
-
jy I'll sell you some Salvia hot lips. Took some cuttings last autumn. Is this at Baskets and Blooms?
-
*Stormforce~beka* Oh yeah. They'll be back inside shortly. Just try to get them as much light as possible, so they don't get leggy. Apparently, being out in the breeze strengthens the stems, but not sure I believe that. We bought my Mum one of these for Christmas... It's pretty lightweight, but will do for her.

Chillies, tomatoes and coriander are in the sun, as they've germinated. The cayenne chillies from a packet haven't germinated, but the seeds that I saved from last year's crop have. Got some early annual flower seeds on the heated mats in the brew shed window, hopefully for cutting in the summer. Built a cold frame at the weekend, so hoping to make good use of that extra space this year. It's already got perennials in that we've lifted and divided.
-
Beautiful outside. Just put the seedlings out on the patio to soak up the Sun.
-
*Stormforce~beka* Is Facebook still going? Blimey.
-
jy We only have one way out of the village now, by The Stag. Our end is a no go zone, except for the most naive delivery driver.
-
Dorsetbred Count us in too on the Sunshine front, so you'll get yours soon enough.
-
Not funny now. Where did this mess come from?
-
Six years ago today...
-
Absolute sparkler out there today, after a ground frost and misty start.
-
Crazy hail at about 3:30am. No snow, but great to see pics from the North of the region. Keep 'em coming.
-
Might have spoken too soon. Line of showers now heading in from the South West.
-
Decent for outside work now. Sunny and breezy. Fortunately, I was in Wickes, Tesco's and in-excess when the last heavy showers went over. Should get a clear run now until I have to pick the OH up from work at 4pm. Next door's landscapers are back after their two day rain delay, so I'm learning loads of new swear words.
-
Just opened the curtains to a flash of lightning and now a rumble of thunder. Radar has now picked it up...
-
Under the really heavy rain now. But moving through quickly, hopefully.
-
Dorsetbred the Arome goes with later too. I'd prefer it to rattle through overnight, so I can get working outside as early as possible.
