PANSY SURPRISE

And very pretty ones too Ba! I love this colour, they must be well sheltered, I have an old bread pansion planted with Pansies, and they've all gone to sleep till spring now....:((

What a lovely sight Ba. Yes, very windy here too, and it's just started to snow!

is it still freezing there BA?

snow sheila?

That wind is a nightmare isn't it!!!
They have lovely markings on the petals - a nice wee surprise for you :)

Little rays of sunshine , aren't they ,Ba ?
Windy here too , and snow , Sticki !

Turned to sleet now, but a bitter wind. Winter can't last TOO much longer :))

the wind is biting today! brrrrrrrrrr

Soon be spring Janey:-) I didn't think they were sheltered, but they must be:-)

Hi Sheila and Sticki, its bitterly cold here again today and everywhere's sodden and squelchy:-(

Hi Scottish and Driad, let's just hope for a nice spring and summer, if it's anything like last year I'm turning my garden into a bog garden:-(

Same here BA, fed up now with it now :o((( lovely pansies, at least i can see mine now in the hanging basket on the fence. :o))

They really are lovely aren't they. I've got to get someone in to power wash my slabs, they look horrendous. I'm amazed how putting bird food out seems to stain them too. I did order a new bird table and when it arrived (without instructions) I thought I would have a go at putting it together. Unfortunately it hadn't been pre drilled in all the places where it should and my drill has gone walkies, but I wouldn't have been able to manage it even if I could find it.. I was so fed up. The company, Capital Gardens in London were most unhelpful saying the table parts weren't supposed to be pre drilled! and I could send it back for £30! The table cost £59 and is lying in the garage:-( I don't seem to have any redress:-( Moan over:-))

Oh blimey! some company's are really unhelpful, don't you know anyone with a drill, that would do it for you. Too expensive to be lying in the garage, can't understand the logic behind not pre drilling, if you've got to put screws in DUH !!

I just went on a review site which I wish I had seen before I bought from them. They have terrible reviews.... and one new one too lol. They were lying about the drilling and instructions, they just didn't care once they had the money. I will eventually ask someone for help with it:-)

I hope you put a review on BA for other gardeners to be aware of!

Yes I did:-)

What a shame , Ba !
Sometimes the local press advertise people who will put up "flat-packs "; what about the local allotment organisers ? They would surely know someone to help you .
Nil desperandum .
(OH has tapped into YouTube this pm and he's just got Shenia Twain on , absolutely bril .)

Lol Driad, did you have a little dance?:-) I have a feeling that when it is all drilled and screwed, it will not be very stable as the base seems a bit small for the heavy top .... I'll have to use sand bags lol, very pretty:-))

Yes , and he also found Tina Turner , Chuck Berry to name a few , we did enjoy . ( His music clock has not progressed much beyond the '70's , I'm afraid !)
The sand bags will stop the floods anyway , Ba .
