Mouldy makes classic beginners' mistake No.81...

If you can get that to flower it might sell well!

It's solar-powered...just like the real ones, Sticki and grows into an Xmas tree that pays for itself by Boxing day.
You can recycle it, too! LOL.

nothing for christmas pays for itself ~ you must have planted a miracle!!!

Wow, energy saving plant,that is a new one on me''''' Lol

I was trying to think of an alternative to poinsettias and...presto...it was like a light was switched on. Lol.
Stop groaning this minute, I mean it. x-(

ha ha ha!!!

Just back from Lidl's.
Went to buy a winter Clem & Jas, but the store was sent the wrong ones.
To make matters worse it's trying to snow, so that puts paid to my sunbathing plans.

You will have to go snow bathing instead!!!

what did they send instead of clematis and jasmine?

might call in at Aldi and see what they have on offer!

Clems, Jas & all the other climbers, but all summer flowering culprits, so I got C. Jackmanii (purple) & another Passiflora. Alata, red. £2 each.

definitely worth it, hope you also get the winter ones!

Oh, I will, Sticki.
I'm determined to have colour all year round.
Don't tell my neighbours in the next close, but I plan to expand into their court. They don't know it yet, but they'll be so envious this summer they'll beg me. Lol.
Actually, I've already been sounded out about the idea by a few of them.
None of them want to get their hands dirty, you understand...they just want it to look good.
Told them to wait 'til I've chewed what I've already bitten. Lol.

At least it wont need light!

You could always plant something that creeps all by itself into the next court!??

Russian Vine - today the next court, tomorrow the world

love it Mouldy... maybe they would sell well at my nursery....lol

got any green paint ? problem solved...green bulb :o))

Crikey, Bloomer, I was about to give Sandra a job lot & now she wants green ones instead!
Did you mean green colour, or green colour/ecology, if you see what I mean? Lol.

lol :O) and that is about all these blinking light bulbs are fit for :O) I hate them, they do not give me enough light to sit and do my knitting by. lol. :O) Bring back the old ones. Whoever invented them needs to go back to the drawing board. lol. Rant over ................

Guess I was just talking out of my ozone-friendly aerosole. LOL!

Lol,Mouldy..and don't we all sometimes ? ..:o)
btw..green paint as in colour...at least I think that's what I meant ..vaguely !

Thought you meant the 'green' paint that' eco-friendly & at least double the price of ordinary paint, Bloomer.

well,if you win the lottery... :o)you do realise I'm only joking.don't you ? I have a strange sense of humour..Lol,
..be warned,some of us tend to go off track sometimes..but it's fun...as you will find out,if you stick around :o)

.

My worry is that some don't get MY sense of humour, Bloomer, but I've been lucky on Goy, so far.
Doubtless, I'll have to apologise at sometime to one or more people, but it's not my intention to upset, insult or offend anyone, however, I'm old & ugly enough to know that we share this wee ball of earth, hurtling through space, with some folk that are determined to take offence, where none was intended, lol.
And as for going off on a tangent, like I've just done, I 'm only too happy to wander where a conversation takes us.

GSOH is the key,Mouldy..and it's kept many a blog going on here for a while,about gardening or otherwise..most of us,join in the banter..you don't need to apologise for stating your point of view..it just depends on the wording sometimes,as to how it is received...so carry on being you :o)) Have you got snow up there?we have sleety rain..not good ..especially when the bin didn't get put out last night...guess who looked a sorry sight,going out in a big cagoule over dressing gown this morning ?? Lol..

We're getting a bit of everything, several times a day, bloomer. Something to annoy everyone, lol.
Alas, there's no end in sight.
Was chatting to Bamboo, yesterday, who heard a story that Mt. Etna is spewing out volcanic ash.
If that turns out to be fact we can kiss summer ta-ta & start buying plants that love shade or extra cloud. Lol.
A cagoule? Wot, no wellies to complete the ensemble? :-)

And no flights to warmer climes

What is wrong with the internet tonight?
It's doollally.

Andrew, if I jiggle my touchscreen, I can get you to dance.
It's hilarious.
Well, not actually you, but your photo, you understand.
On a more serious note...I hadn't actually thought about Etna's effect on flights, particularly those around the Med.
And olive oil won't taste nice. (Oo-er). Olive, will you PLEASE stop hitting me. I bruise easily, you beastly girl.
Looks like a bummer-summer!
Still, I can cheer myself up by finding out how many other Goy members I can get to dance.
Why are you all looking at me like that for?

Don't be daft,Mouldy..slippers are the only way to go,with a dressing gown..anyway,my wellies don't match..gotta have some street cred :o) Volcanic ash eh? mmm,we will see..better there than from Iceland...I don't think Mt Etna will pose a problem for us..and hopefully not for the Sicilians..

Mouldy you made me laugh, how could I BASH you!!

Maybe the Scicilians will make it an offer it can't refuse, Bloomer. Lol.
Andrew's right, though...new surcharge, as flights get detoured for those booking late, cancelled flights & so on.
Hasn't stopped you before, Olive.
Oo-ow!!...no pinching allowed or I'm not playing! Lol.

Due to inclement weather I'm armchair gardening again, playing catchup on pics, tickled pink by the comments on here..
Olive you are so right these bulbs are CARP and thats an anagram......

lol :O) most definitely carp Lincs.

Is that like an angina thingummy, Lincs? =-O
