Do you know the garden/area well? If so you could check the labels on the plants, to see if they prefer sunny or shady spots, how big they will grow, when they’ll flower, if they’re scented, and also if they’re suited to growing in pots. They’ll have displays in the garden centre of stuff that will be ready to flower soon. Just check the labels and you can’t go wrong. You can also look if they’ve got pots already planted up with displays, and copy what they’ve got in
Oh I always close my windows at night as I have a fear of spiders coming in when I'm asleep.This is normally a complaint for the autumn thread but I've had TWO massive spiders in the house in one night!! What is going on!!
One was right next to me on the wall next to my bed as wellDon't know if I can sleep now
AND it's forced me to close the window so I'll be too hot to sleep anyway
My dad is my inspiration to be honest. I kinda just plant what he does. But I have planted two big pots of petunia surfinia for my friend as he has just bought a house so they'll be full of colour for the whole summer once they kick off. Can you get to a garden centre, they're always very helpful and will be happy to advise once you explain what you're looking to do.
Happy easterHappy Easter everyone.
did you get any nice eggs?Same here. I’ve been on annual leave this week and the weather has been awful. It’s either been windy, raining, dull and grey or a mix of all. I was hoping to spend a lot of time outdoors but I’ve pretty much slept the week away and been a hermit because the weather has been so shit. I’m not off again for another few months and by that time it’ll be summerIt’s meant to be really windy where I am today
Yep, do mine twice a year, one in November and one in April. Not a job I like, but I feel better once it's done.
Well firstly get the washing out on the line
then I might go to a garden centre see what plants they have.
Yeah it's gonna be nice all next week too. About 18/19c but sunshine. What are your plans today?Sun's finally out
Thank you so much for this, I’ll have a look!!I would really recommend buying a David Austin rose bush - I’ve got three or four and they are amazing, and seem to be much healthier than other rose plants I’ve bought. Some I’ve had for yearsThey’re a bit more pricey but all the hard work is done for you as they’re established and will flower in abundance that same year. You can get specific climbing ones if that’s what you’re after.
Petrol stations and spars always have themI left it last minute and couldn’t find any in the supermarkets where I live. Shelves were completely empty, I ended up finding some in shop that mostly sold booze
I’m off to Greece! I actually bought beach towels today, I wanted plain striped ones and H&M delivered! Had my current beach towel for about 10 yearsOoo where are you going on holiday. We have booked Spain for august and I can’t wait. I was looking at beach towels this afternoon
Mine have been up for the past 2 weeks. I was given a gorgeous plush standing bunny for Mothers Day and I cannot tell you how happy I was.Has anyone put up out their Easter decor yet or is it a tad early?
It's warm, it's cold, it's boiling, it's cold.Why is it so bloody cold!!!
