Another lovely day so when mother has gone i shall be repotting some nemphiss, i love them never grown them before and they have all took

ive got a lot of lavertry plants lol thats what i call them, they grow fast and have beautiful pink or purple flowers, but a lot of people have lost them to the sever frosts weve had in previous years.

thankfully i can putthese on my charity table i didnt expect them all to take lol

time to get a few more trees for oh to plant i think. xx

hope you all have a nice day in your garden xxxx :-D

ok thanks fred xxx

You may have put them in a little early Puss,but don't worry about it ,leave it a few more days and put some new ones in .
If you have overwatered ,the seedlings will more than likely wilt and go a very light green,,you will get there ,trial and error are a great teacher. :-) :-)

fred, my tomato seedlings are very few and fragile looking, do you think im over watering there in a good compost.

thankyou lesley, i cant wait to see what/if any of my seeds grow,

:-D

oh Merlin, you will know if they shoot, you will hear me all the way to yours, lol

Stray, one thing they have all forgotten to tell you, when you see the first green shoots coming into view, you should play them "Greensleves" as often as possible(Never Sing It) and they will get healthier every day.

Well its quiet here today OH just phoned and told me our 3 yr old rescue dog has dug my potatoes up little monkey xx

Thanks Ann x x :-D

Thank's for that Lesley ,that does make sense in a way ,lol,most of these old sayings have countryside roots ,anyway ,it always stood me well.
I have been out in the greenhouse this morning putting more seeds in ,two different sorts of cabbage ,broccoli,and perpetual spinach.and checked on my Tomatoes in their pots ,two sorts ,money maker ,& sugar plum ,a small tomato of the bush variety. both varieties just showing ,and there is plenty of time to replace any that don't come through.
Nothing i can do in the garden today because it is piddling down ,typical Easter weather ,darned chilly up here too ,but that's to be expected ,i noticed the clouds were being driven down from the north so there is a slight chance of a few snow flurries as well.
Away now to get the dinner started ,a nice leg of lamb for the grandson ,he being sick to death of chicken ,after chewing on it every main meal for six months ,lol,he says the lads out there are spitting feathers before the first two months are out :-). Fred.

They should be OK Puss but don't put them outside yet.

im wondering if my tomatoe seedlings are too fragile yet i mean seeded to soon, they seem to be very few xx

off now be back when charity shop shuts xx :-D

Good for you StrayKitten :-)

I hope you don't ache to much after all your hard work :-)

lololol, iv been threatening to try n grow something since i moved in here, it was about time, lol,

Stray, don't let people teasing put you off lol...

I find some words of encouragement to plants always works, my mum always did it when planting anything, & my friend does it to her house plants and I have never seen anything grow like they do lol. :-D (just make sure the neighbours aren't listening otherwise you will get labelled as 'odd' lolol.)

No Stray don't water them with good wine Lol Water will do.

i dont mind talking to them but im not sharing my wine,

yeah ill do them first thing when i feed the bunnie n piggy ;-)

i could get the hang of this lol,

Thanks K xx good luck xxx

oh do sweetcorn re seed xxxx

:-D

Puss

Good luck with your peach tree. Ours is about 12 years old and beside a west facing wall of a pole barn It really cheap in a sale and I never thought it would fruit and we would be still eating them out of the freezer

I used to sow our sweetcorn straight into the bed and cover with a fleece, but a cold wet spring a few years rotted all but twelve off so I resorted to germinating them inside.

Hi Fred
I've always been led to believe Ne'er cast a clout till May is out means, don't take your jumpers/woollies (clout) of until the May flower is in bloom.

Don't water anything in bright or hot sunshine Stray ,the cold water will scorch the leaves and may kill the seedlings ,you stick to your sensible regime and water early brfore the sun gets up properly,good on yer Fred. :-D

hello k i dont live far from you and have bought a 2 yr old peach tree so i may be lucky, never mind your seeds by the rayburn, i could just stand looking at one, i love em, my dream is a small holding, last year my 2 years ago my sweetcorn just rotted yr before i had lovely big ones.

fred a clout when we lived north east is a smack, i had plenty lol.

thanks Ann will do xxx :-D
