Cold But not detered i opened my shed door to finalize my latest invention on my planning board. Two ideas really, Pot hanging system and Strawberry cultivation pot. Just old equipment updated to help around the garden and greenhouse.I hope to utilize the pots one throws away into efficient growing sources. On paper at the moment but will disclose when completed. Gardeners world prompted me to try both idea,s. Tiny (our budgie) now quite happy to use his play pen rather than fly around the lounge so have time now to myself. Front lawn full of leaves but my Silver jubilee (Rose) has many open flowers. The latest warm spell seems to have encouraged it to flower but i may trim them to conserve its strenght. Grass appears well beyond what i expected am very pleased at its colour and densety, no Dandylions at the moment . Nice just to look out onto both lawns. Well hope all is fine in your gardens also . Take care Enjoy Tony Elizabeth and i are cultivatng some Acer seeds this week its a 14 week plus project we have our fingers crossed.

Your lawn is like a big carpet, Tony! All that work really was well worth it, it's a picture! Is the gardener still mowing your garden for you? There might be some good bargains in the mower dept soon, with the seasons changing, so, remember to keep a good lookout!! Your projects sound very interesting, Tony, you're always full of good ideas! I'm really looking forward to seeing them completed!
Acer seeds at the ready...standing at my post,...Sir!!
(sound of little boot stamping on the ground, as I stand to attention). Lol! ;0)

Hi Stickie Like most gardening projects its a challenge . Elizabeth and i decided to take the Acer challenge up. Elizabeth more hands on with plants than i but together we appear to be atomic(LoL). Next year we should have results. Take care Tony

Thanks Tony ,didn't mean to get carried away like that ( some people think I should be,lol) but I was already stressed when I kept trying to send the email and it kept coming back.So you and our friends were my sounding board.After good nights sleep I will be trying again.Hope the acer seeds are successful.

i hope today is better rose
if i want to write a lot in an email and ensure that i dont lose it due to computer error [not mine of course] sometimes i write it out first in word and copy it into the email.
6 Oct, 2011
Good idea Stickie, I'll have to do that.I haven't had the time to do the blog again yet as we are still decorating, but sometime very soon.Oh and thanks for the compliment earlier on.

Hi Rose Acer seed,s on track at present Elizabeth and i are still soaking them. Hope your problems also go away. If i can assist with comp probs don,t be afraid to ask Rose. I am not an expert but i manage to get by. Hope the decorating is ok. Take care enjoy Tony
6 Oct, 2011
Thanks Tony, I appreciate that.Decorating all done now and have picked a carpet which is being fitted on Tuesday.Hopefully doing my blog today and the email that keeps coming back apparently its their end and not mine.
7 Oct, 2011

7 Oct, 2011

I couldnt possibly comment Rose!!!
7 Oct, 2011
Whatever do you mean Stickie!
7 Oct, 2011

7 Oct, 2011

7 Oct, 2011
my lips are sealed [was that the jam that did it???]
7 Oct, 2011
Rose please don,t knock your jam like that. I tried it and broke my sledge hammer. Take care Tony
7 Oct, 2011

7 Oct, 2011

If you go putting jam pies out for Santa you wont have anything at all - he will definitely be stuck in the chimney!

Nice rose, looking good. When you say 'Cold' at the top, do you mean the weather wherever you are or that you actually have a cold?
And I'm somewhat disconcerted by your description under the basket hanging on the fence - it says Glechoma, but what's on display is in fact Hedera helix of some variety...
