Back to the patio!

Your chucks have settled in well then! Ian digs.............til Pizzas ready :o)

Lol Neena, Ian digs......... until any food or drink is offered!

Nice to see you`ve got three InsPECKtors on the job Ian, Hope they approved.

Lol Stroller, I think they were more interested in "worming" their way around the boss! Lol

By the way "Boss" is the one with the red face (not me) ;~))

what would you do without all that help from ya chucks ian lol,, is pizza part of your diet ian,,,, i dont think so my friend hahah ;o))

Well, you see it's like this Sandra............ If I see, smell or even here the word pizza then everything gets dropped until I get some! Lol

lol ian, then its carol`s fault for buying it then,, sorry carol, lol

Lol Sandra, it can be any bodies fault but mine! :~)))

hahaha ;o))

Getting there and just be careful not to slab over the chooks!!

Send me your address for those seeds Ian as I have 4 varieties of Aquilegia waiting in mittle envelopes to send to you:o))

OK Dan, PM to follow!

I bet those chickens are the happiest in England Ian. Looks great.

Thanks Doctorbob, they are rather spoilt! Lol

They have their pen to keep them safe when we're not around but spend most of the time running lose in the garden. They're quite good at weeding for me!

Very useful - except when you start planting! I wonder if you could teach them which are plants and which are weeds, Ian?

This has already shown itself to be a problem Spritz, we have to keep an eye on them as, eventually, they make their way to our one and only flower bed and look longingly at the geraniums and platycodons etc.

By the way, we have one white, one blue and one pink platycodon! Lol

Very patriotic Ian (nearly).

Lol Doctorbob! :~))

Don't forget to mark the spot for those Platycodons - they disappear completely over winter, and its really easy to dig the beggars up without realising in the Spring...

Thanks for the advice Bamboo, I nearly threw them on the compost heap this spring as they were in pots and I thought they were dead. It was only because I forgot about them that they survived!

ah, well there you go then - must remember to mark where mine are too, lol!

;~))

Great blog! It's all coming together, Ian, step by step....

I think it's going to take a couple of years to get the whole garden done. Keep watching and I'll keep posting! Lol

You have me hooked, Ian! Don't worry my friend, it took us 12 years to pull our garden together, but at least you will know exactly what's under the soil now~it must be about time someone nurtured that poor garden, only sorry you got stuck with the worst of it!

Lol Flori, Don't say 12 years....... I'll give up now! ! !

No you won't. Knowing you, you'll try to speed up...so just be careful, young Ian!

What's your weather like up there today?

It's raining and cold.......... I know it's good for the garden but I would like to see the sun occasionally! Lol

How is Henry this morning and how are you?

It's kind of half-sun and half-cloudy here.

I'll PM you.

Have you had any rain yet? I know you said you needed some!

Nope. Not a drop!

Back to the hose pipe then?
