Belonging to GOY

Hi Great :) GOY is very addictive isnt it :) have a Brill day what ever u decide to do :)

pleased that you are enjoying goy-- you could introduce your Dad to goy-- its so addictive that he won't have the time to 'help' in the garden :o)

My dad using a computer now that would be funny. He has enough trouble operating the washing machine haha. Like the thought though.
You have a good day to. Think its turning out the compost for me!!

:) Suns out here Great hope itl be nice there 4 u :)

G that lavender bush must have been really expertly pruned over the years to survive so long. They usually end up all leggy. Anyway keep poor Dad away from it. Hope he doesn't join GoY or he'll see your blog. If the compost job is successful, that will be a good job done.

Hi G, warm welcome to GoY from me! Yes, this is way too addictive isn't it, but such a wonderful site,with so much information and support, and no end of humour as well! I joined at the start of the month, and have really enjoyed the friend's you get to meet and chat to. Hope you do too. :~))

Hi welome from me hope you have a good day.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Kept dad away from my lavender! im sure that my bush is thanking me!!!
I ended up turning out the compost all by myself now my back is killing me!!
My dad did install a water butt for me and now its raining and filling up really quickly. The problem is its leaking from the pipe. To be honest it looks like a boched job but at least its half working. I don't mean to sound ungrateful honestly I dont but now its leaking. What do I do???? Its leaking from where the down pipe has been cut into and the fixing pipe has been attached.

My daughter bless her, did her bit, and took the old canes off the raspberry bush. The garden is begining to look loved again.

lol your leaking pipe on butt Great,iknow i shouldnt laugh but been there done it with my o h .happy gardening :o)

Poor you too many ungardeners but I feel sure you will soon be able to tell your Dad that now you have so much knowledge at your fingertips (GOY site) you are full of helpful advice. You have made me giggle even if you didn't mean too and we do all like to be lighthearted some of the time. Your Dad certainly seems to want to help but not quite managing. I think I would have to make some excuse when he comes to "help". Not quite got the answer but maybe you can think of something. Good luck Sue

im glad I made you laugh Grannysue. He even asked me if I needed anything else done. Im sure I heard my garden scream out no!!!!

Don't know why I'm still laughhing as I have to empty my compost bin on the next fine day. Perhaps you could send your D.............. on second thoughts I will get hubby to help. He is bemused at the fact that I have two bins and as he claims we haven't enough garden to warrent ONE!! I love my compost like none gardeners love perfume or a beautiful bunch of flowers.Love Sue x

Grannysue. I can beat that Are you ready for this??? I have 4 wormmeries and 2 compost bins and a compost heap. I looked at my garden just before it got dark and I am happy with my efforts of the day. My garden looks tidy. I just need to get planting now. {lease wave your magic wand if you have one and make the sun come out and stay out tomorrow

Ha! You had your share, Great! It's time we had some sun down here...please??? We've had rain and cloud, drizzle and cloud, one ray of sun, back to rain and cloud. How am I supposed to get my garden sorted out?

Couldn't agree more Spritz, it's been wet and cold over here in Wiltshire too! Wouldn't say it was damp here but some of what little plant life is growing are coming up out of the soil wearing snorkels and inflatable armband!! My hellibores are doing the leaf-stroke and the wallflowers treading water!! Lol! :~))

I hope the sun shone for you :o)

Floribunda oh how you made me laugh just now!!! I just had to check my garden for plants swimming and wearing snorkles!!! I will have that imagine in my head all day ha ha . Wiltshire- country ah bliss not grey concrete London town.

Spritze If I get more sun then I need to dry out the boggy conditions after yesterdays rain(well all week really, did have some sun in the early mornings though) Ill send some to you by DHL

Floribunda oh how you made me laugh just now!!! I just had to check my garden for plants swimming and wearing snorkles!!! I will have that imagine in my head all day ha ha . Wiltshire- country ah bliss not grey concrete London town.

I'll be watching out for the DHL van!

We actually have the sun this morning!!!!
I don't know how long it'll last, mind you, but at the moment it's lovely to see it. :-)))

Hi G, I am from the grey concrete town of good old London Town myself, though moved to Wilts as almost a teenager with my family, ah, but I remember it well lol! Am really proud to be a Londoner, but now my roots are well and truly embedded in this county, and I love it here!! Am so glad you had a chuckle at my comment, it's sad but true, my poor old garden really soggy, so water table must be very high after all the snow we had here. Bout time we had a few days of warm sun, over Easter would be nice, if anyone can have a word with Him upstairs? lol.Am glad to hear Lavender bush still in one piece G, great to hear from you!:~))

Well people you got your wish the sun has gone and left me. Garden is sooooo soggy. Hope you got the sun I sent you Spritzhenry!, Floribunda I sent you some sun to. But seriously Guys if it doesn't stop raining what will we do? I am getting worried now, as I lost most of my crops to rain and the slugs last year; so much money went down the drain. It can't happen again can it. Who ever is talking to him upstairs please ask for the sun to dry the gardens of all of us on GOY. Thank you
