I`m so pleased that Conker is home and looking really well after his surgery, I`ve been thinking of him all day. Your garden looks lovely and is just the place for Conker to spend his time recovering. I hope you too feel better now that all is well. Take care Terra. :o)

Hi Megan..
This is a pretty time of year for gardens isn't it..
Conker seems fine so far, thanks.
Getting over the anaesthetic.
But I'll probably get up in the night to check on him... :o)

The garden is looking delightful and so are the lovely pooches! your bird shot reminded me of the starling who comes in every morning and tries with all his might to remove leaves and twigs from my plants for his nest! I've put out some small twigs for him and cut off some dead leaves and he got really excited today and tried to carry them all of at once! Funny!

Lol KS63... I award you a special crest...
"Supplier of twigs and leaves to the Starlings" x

Yes, indeed! Thank you kindly, I feel I fully deserve this accolade! ;)

That is great news,Terra,and so happy for you all.Conker looks well,and contented.He must feel better already now he is free of that abcess.Truffle looks very laid back too.Your garden is beautiful,what a lovely riot of colours.You must be very pleased and proud of it.Isn't life wonderful,especially with the sunny weather we are having....xxx

fantastic news~a whole wave of love and best wishes is causing a warm front heading towards East Anglia~should definitely be sunny tomorrow TT!

What a happy blog, TT :) I am rather late catching up with the news but will go to bed now with a big smile on my face. I hope Conker recovers from the op very quickly and that you will all enjoy time in your lovely garden this weekend.

What wonderful news to wake up to TT !!!

I'm SO happy for you - now just sit back and try to enjoy that gorgeous garden of yours and your little friends - like you say, KEEP GRINNING !!!

You do have a beautiful spring garden TT....no wonder Conker is smiling. He looks so relaxed and laid back on his bed there. Truffles looks happy too, and I'm sure Crocus is; do budgies smile? never thought about that before..lol
I heard (felt) the sigh of relief from everyone at your wonderful news; you must be on "cloud 9" thismorning, now you are over the worst and can start getting back to normal.....Hope that is "proper" custard you are feeding our hero....lol
Hugs and scratches behind the ears xxxxxxxxxxxxx

That's great news ... what a relief! I wish him a speedy recovery now he's home. Your garden is looking so beautiful ... so much terrific colour.

Morning Neellan, Pottygardener, Pepperpot, Sh, Skillen, Sbg, Arlene, Gee, Terry60, Alice and Bernieh...
Thanks for all your good wishes.
Conker had a restful night.
He just needs to get his digestive system back to normal.

Crocus the budgie is chirping and smiling.
The sun is shining and I'm hoping to complete lots of gardening jobs this weekend.
I hope you enjoy your gardens in this lovely bright weather :o)

Beautiful garden & beautiful dogs! Lovely weather this weekend too, have fun in the garden.

Back to the malt crispies, Terra - should get his appetite going again. So enjoyed seeing this blog - your boys (and your garden) are a real credit to you. Enjoy your weekend in the sun. xxx

Thank you Hamster4 and Wagger...
I hope you are also enjoying your sunny gardens.
Conker has very little appetite today, but he will probably perk up soon... :o) xxx

Ooooooooooh ...... ravishing !

Wonderful news TT! I'm sure Conker will enjoy convalescing in your beautiful garden. Hope he gets his appetite back soon xx

Hello Gurth and Dylandog...
We've been gardening all day in the sunshine...lovely !
Conker is very exhausted, but I hope will perk up soon :o) xxx

Just catched up on how Conker as been today, his appitite should come back soon, we would'nt be eating much i dont think when we've just had an opp, each day i can see him getting getting back to himself, give him a hug again for me. Carol xx.

what a lovely blog TT, and so glad Conker is doing well all these tail waggings and good vibes are working TT!!! Your garden is a picture too.

an big hug fro me to -oh yes, an luvely colors-

Thanks for checking in on Conker, Carol.... You know exactly how I worry, having been through so much yourself with lovely Smokey. I'll give Conker your <<hug>> xxx

Hi Skilla.... How is Toffee ? Conker has been relaxing in the garden.
The discharge from his cheek is more watery, so that must be good.. :o)
Glad you like my gardens. x

Hi Derek... Thanks for the << big hug>> I guess that's for Conker and not for me. LOL.
Glad you like the colours :o) x

Pleased you have all had a good day, we have had such wonderful sunshine today...it makes everything seem better!
I'm sure Conker will improve day by day, once he is over the anaesthetic and the op....I guess his mouth is sore at the moment? Puts him off eating.....Benny had 2 teeth out last year and was the same for a couple of days.
<<hugs to all>> x x

Thanks for your thoughts Pottygardener...
It's good to know that Benny bounced back a couple of days after having his teeth out..
Yes, Conker needs to rest. Poor Truffle didn't understand ...kept inviting him to play ... Lol.
Have you been busy ?
I got lots done in my gardens... pruning, planting, etc. :o) xxx

Lovely TT, great colour in your garden and Truffle and Conker looking well. Do hope Conker makes a good recovery. Love to you all.
XXXX

Your garden really looks stupendous! I love it! :-)

So happy for you both at the good news, just hope Conker's mouth heals up very quickly & that he has no recurrence of his problem.

Hi Bob ...
Thanks. Conker ate some dunked biscuits at bedtime, so here's hoping he'll be perkier tomorrow :o)
Love to you and Sylvia.. xxxxxxx

Hello Balcony... Thank you...
The molar removed was the only dodgy tooth in Conker's mouth. Vet said Conker's other teeth are white and wonderful.... that's because I clean them often...
By the way ... managed to install dictionary.

Ha ha Derek.... yes... cuddling the dog is different...
not easy cuddling "Crocus" my budgie either. ! :o)

Thanks Volval.... Grins... :o)
...my garden has a lot of colour in spring, but I look on GoY for inspiration for colourful perennials for my borders June onwards... All suggestions welcome please !

Conker just ate LOTS of breakfast... Yay !

Thank you Pam. Yes, sunny here... and another busy day in the garden coming up. Enjoy :o)

Hello Grindle...
Conker says thank you....

Some of my aubrieta on my raised bed at the back has the petals chewed... not leaves... just petals chewed around the edges... any ideas could be doing this please ? Thanks.

i think WOW is the word

Thank you Cristina :o)

Sorry TT, Been missing in action for a while, so catching up on young Conker. Brilliant news on the check up, and getting the dental abscess sorted. He's been so brave, so loads of hugs for him and for Truffle who has been supportive in his doggie way! Hugs and smiles to you too - been such a stressful time.
Your garden is lovely, so colourful and pretty, no wonder the lads love being out there :o)

Hi Katnip...
These warmer days none of us are on GoY as much as in the winter, but thanks for looking in on Conker... He's getting more perky. Taking six little Ceporex antibiotics each day, and has a check-up at the vet this Friday. Thank you for your kind comments about my garden. :o)

Apologies for being late with this message TT but haven`t been on for a few days looking after father-in-law. It was wonderful to see your beautiful garden and Truffle enjoying the sunshine. Glad to see Conker looking good after all the trauma he`s been through. Hope Crocus is keeping his pecker up and keeping you smiling for you certainly need support after all you`ve been through. Luv to you all.

Hi Stroller...
I hope your father-in-law is well... Thanks for your kind messages for Conker, Truffle and Crocus... I'm having great trouble getting on the internet today, so this might be my only message this evening. !

Love & hugs. T, C, T & C. xxx

Hi TT, sorry I havent been on before to say what good news!
I hope Conker is really going to make a terrific recovery this and get back to normal. Ps the garden looks great too!

Hi Rachelsmum...
I hope all is well with you..
Have you been busy in the garden ?
Conker is doing well thanks...
has another week of antibiotics...
that's about another 40 little tablets..LOL.
but it is nice to see him looking more furry and perky.. :o)

I love this time of year in the gardens...

So glad Conker ate his breakfast yesterday and is improving daily I'm sure with your TLC
You say something has eaten your Aubretia petals it may be birds when they peck at insects they do it on primulas too
I had loads of bumble bees in my Aubretia and when they had finished the flowers looked crumpled!

Thanks for that info. about the aubrieta petals, Neellan.
I do see sparrows pecking around that area of the raised bed, so could be the reason !

Conker is doing well thanks. Even more hairy. Lol. Had his leg shaved for the operation, but that fur will soon grow back. :o)

terra if this is wot a garden can look like when u wear ya slippser thern im gonna try dissing me sling backs and donning me slippers.

ps you still shouting at the moon lol

cheers davey

Hi Davey...
Yes, getting all the help I can ...
from the moon, the sun, planets... Lol.

I very much recommend bedroom slippers for gardening..
I've just done some concreting wearing my slippers and I'm now scrubbing pavings in the same footwear. ..

...not a pair of slippers I wear indoors, I hasten to add... :o)

och terra u wear concrete slippers how ermmmmmmmmmmm different tis why i like you you have same nutter likes as me hahahaha

cheers davey

Love to Conker and positive thoughts for his well being. xxx

Thanks Linda...
Conker is making his way through 66 antibiotic tablets, ...6 per day...
He's much perkier now. xxx

just catching up with your blog and news about Conker. I am so happy he is doing ok...as I told you I started new job last week - and as everybody knows gardening is a great excersise - after 2 years of basically sitting behind the desk my body's forgotten how it feels to work hard.... weeding, digging, carrying bags with soil - hard, hard, hard - but so fantastic... so a bit of moaning, but I am all singing and dancing... working most of the time listening to noise of M25, listening and talking to robins and other creatures - it feels fantastic. Still a bit of work for my college - just finished plant sketchbook, now working at garden history journal... still not to much time for GOY...
So sending a little kiss for Concer and the rest of the team as well:)

Just checking after a few days absence and am thrilled to read that Conker is going from strength to strength - hope you are too. Lots of hugs xx

Hi Terry60... I hope you are well...

I noticed you had been missing.....
... please get my permission before you take several days' abscence....LOL.

Yes, thanks... Conker is doing well and only 24 antibiotics tablets left to take...

St Francis was watching.... you were right. <<< hugs >>> :o) xxx

I'm always right you know, even when I'm wrong, I'm still right !! (Mum used to jokingly say that to us when we were little !!).

Seriously tho', St Francis is a grand chap and will never abandon his little friends if we ask for his help.. xxx

My absence was not self inflicted and it was very remiss of me for not getting your prior permission - - - - am I forgiven ????

A big big hug for Conker - he seems to be very good with his tablets - how do you give them to him?? We ALL know the palaver trying to give tablets to cats ... there was a very humorous blog that someone has sent ages ago and I thought it was so true ... !!!

Yes, you are forgiven.... I was going to contact you today to check if you were okay..

With Conker's tablets... I place a big blob of plain yogurt in a dish.. I put some yogurt on the end of my finger and the dog licks it.... then the next blob of yogurt has a tablet in, then the next blog is just yogurt. etc.. When tablets are all taken, Conker gets to lick up the remainder of the yogurt. You could do the same with cream, or custard... :o)

Wonderful news and he looks as though he is enjoying the sun bless, big hug from Benchcat and me. Lovely photo of Truffles too lapping all that sun up.
What a wonderful display of your garden and the effect of the tiny flowers with a big display gorgeous.

Hello 6d...
What a wonderfully written paragraph for my garden and dogs...
Thank you so much. xxx
<< hug >> for Benchcat. :o)

Your welcom Terratoonie, I will tell benchcat as she is a she not a he lol, which my grandchildren found out the other day. lol silly me thinking all this time it was a he.

Lol.
Conker growing lots of fur back, is beginning to look too pretty to be a boy.
Lol...

Hi Kasia...
Sorry ~ I got out of sequence with answering the comments !

That's good to know you are back outside working on gardens and seeing lots of plants and wildlife... and learning some plant history at other times...

I hope you don't have too many aches and pains from the hard work outdoors. !

<<hugs>> from T,C,T & C xxx

Lol

Conker's looking good Terra. Garden's looking good too. Fabulously colourful. Hope your spring clean has left you feeling revitalised too. Such a relief to get things done.

Hi Dorjac... Thanks.
I've been doing yet more scrubbing and digging today...
very satisfying to see the pavings and rocks clean...
... but now I'm cream crackered.... lovely sunshine though :o)

That's how I feel after a few hours on the allotment! It's the first physical work I've done in 14 months I've been out of work!

Glad to hear Conker is taking his antibiotics without fuss. Do dogs, in general, like yoghurt, or is it just Conker? We used to have a lot of trouble giving our dogs the two tablets they had to take 3 time a day. If it is true of most dogs I wish I'd known before! Would have saved a lot of trouble trying to get them to take them!

Hello Balcony...
I definitely overworked on tasks in the garden yesterday.. but nice to look out of the window at the jobs done.. Lol..

I give my dogs the plain yogurt.... not fruit ones... and they love it. The natural "live" yogurt is good for their digestion.
Antibiotics can upset the stomach, so to give those with yogurt helps keep the system healthy.

...I think you missed my comment above, on 17th April re. dictionary..... thanks for your help :o) x

Yes, you are quite right, TT, I did miss your comment on the 17th! Glad you were able to install the dictionary, only too happy to be of help if I can!

Happy to know Conker had only one tooth he needed removing. I hope the antibiotics finally put an end to the problem of abscesses in his mouth.

My daughter had two wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday but the operation to remove them caused her a great deal of pain. She is also on antibiotics as she had an infection again. After her experience she says she won't have the other side done.

I watched Gardeners World from last week tonight & Carol planted a very nice Aubretia!

I'm VERY pleased to report that Conker's check-up at the vets was fine ! :o)

I am so relieved, but can't quite take in the fact that, provided Conker seems well, he has no further vet appointments till a check-up at the vet clinic around October time-frame, to see whether the cancer has returned.

Conker still has only the one-in-ten chance of the lymphoma NOT coming back... but doing well so far :o)

Balcony ~ I hope your daughter is recovering well from her dental treatment.

Conker is on my lap at the moment. He knows we are all very happy, and wants to use the keyboard with his front paws to send this special message for all our GoY friends, which means thanks so VERY MUCH to all of you for your support over the past year of vet visits and difficult days...

.kbkijgjkgjkl;;['/@vl;. ;'vfclfgl,fgvkj;l,\, p;[erp[e3ot';[reo43preklclvc;v

We're going out into the sunshine to do gardening now :o)

Such a lovely colourful garden Tt :-))
Enjoy the sunshine both of you, it's too good to miss by being anywhere other than our gardens :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Tt - that news must have cheered you up ! (Megley !) Hey, this font is huge, have you been to Specsavers ? lol

Thanks Louise and Megley...
I am having a wonderful afternoon working far too hard in my gardens while my dogs are sunbathing... I hope you are able to get out into your gardens too..xxx

Large size font for those who can't find their specs..LOL.

I'm getting messages that you didn't see a report yesterday about Conker, so I've included it at the end of my blog above... Thanks to everyone for your support for Conker over the past year.....it has been more help than I can explain... xxx

That's wonderful news TT. You'll be able to enjoy the summer now :o)) xxx
Thanks for the great message Conker. :o)

Grand news for all four of you - Conker's typing is improving too!!! I hope you've finished scrubbing. Time to relax in the garden now, Terra and join Conker and Truffle sunbathing some of the time. Lots of hugs to you all xxx

Thanks Hywel and Wagger...
I hope my gardens will be peaceful ...
... and we'll all be able to relax, as well as enjoying some gardening work.

Conker's keyboard skills have definitely improved..LOL

Have a nice weekend.... xxx

Terra,am so happy to read that all is well with precious Conker,and it's great to catch up with all the updates and comments posted~this has been such a long and difficult road for you both,and I am over the moon that a time of peace is coming to you now. May the sun continue to shine down on you my friend, and your garden and beloved Conker continue to flourish........... :~)))))X

Terra, am I missing something? Have you set us a new puzzle? Are we to break the code? Is there a prize? If so count me in:-)))

Hi Flori ...
Thanks for your kind and thoughtful comments.
Today it was lovely to be able to tell Conker...
.... no imminent vet appointments and no tablets left to take....
:~))))))) xxx

Hello Bornagain..
Conker is in charge of that puzzle...
... a secret Sheltie code . Lol. :o)))

Phew, just relieved it's not the FPP again Terra;-) How lovely that the weather and your garden seem seem to be celebrating Conkers remission, we haven't stopped wagging since the good news:-)

Thanks Bornagain...
Your support for Conker over the past year has been very much appreciated. ..and Happy Golden Trowel to you for 12th April... sorry... we missed that ! xxx

Hi Flori xxx :~)))

Hi, TT! I'm so glad to hear Conker is well...And your garden is great!

Hi Uma...
Thanks for checking in on Conker.
He is doing well. :o)
My gardens love the springtime. x

Missed this one TT!

So pleased for the lovely Conker and here's hoping for a long time no return of the dreaded C.

Your garden is a mass of colourful splendour to be enjoyed by all.....very nice!

And Conker, I understood every word you typed.....you're welcome:0)

Conker have you never heard of the spell check.?......so pleased all is well at the TT house, (took ages to get to the end of this blog lol) garden looks enchanting, you have all worked very hard, time to enjoy the summer now..xxxxx

Hi Oddbillie ...
... message from Truffle ... gtfukiuuyjeit5yhu..
If you understand that, please let me know..Lol.

Hello Dotty ...
... message from Conker ... 5truyjioo;jhmol[p';
Conker's paws seem to use more punctuation than when Truffle hits the keyboard ! Lol. :o) xxxxxxx

you have an incredibly beautiful garden ~ truly inspirational

Thanks, Stickitoffee...
Have you seen the poetry blog I wrote for Blue Spruce's garden earlier this year ?

... The Conifer King...

he let me choose from his lovely garden photos... :o)))

no but i would like to ~ how do i find it?

Hi again... simplest way would be to click on Gardening Blogs on the green strip near the top of the page...

then click on ALL TIME....

then scroll down and choose the blog ...

If you can't find it, let me know and I'll give different directions !

I found it! ~ no problem with your directions
fabulous garden and brilliant with the poem
clever you!
i loved the garden ~ some of these should be open to the public i think! ~ ive paid to see some far less impressive than these!

In the winter, it's quite fun to look through the older blogs ...
Bluespruce's garden certainly inspired me ... wonderful colour and structure... If you have trouble finding anything else on GoY. let me know, and I'll try to help :o)

many thanks terratoonie! this is certainly THE MOST helpful and friendly web site i have ever visited!
is there a way of finding gardens by their location?

Only if you hover the cursor over an avatar pic, and that gives the county... e.g. hover over Stickitoffee and it says joined 10 Sep, 2010, Worcestershire....

Some members don't wish to be too specific about where they live... maybe they just put East Anglia, or Wales... etc ...

yes i found that bit thanks, but was wondering if it is possible to see gardens in a particular area without going through all the list of members??

Sorry, no I don't think so ...
with GoYpedia ...the alphabet at the base of the GoY pages ... you can click on, e.g. C for clay soil plants, or S for shade plants etc ... that might help you ...

ah, ok ~ thank you, you have been very helpful

:o)))

Aaaaaaaa SPRING....won't be long now. Thanks Stickitoffee for reminding me of this gorgeous blog. Hello Terra:-)

its nice to browse the gardens i think!

Sure is, especially on a dull afternoon like today:-)

Hi Terra, I was just looking at the photo's here taken in April and then your recent one about the stamps Conker has come on in leaps and bounds ( or is that Truffle!) and looks so well now -- wonderful big hugs all round ;o)))

Hi Pam..
Strange, I was thinking exactly the same thing ...
I had been looking at the photos of Conker on his Garden Centre outing blog last autumn, when he had not long completed his chemo ... it's wonderful to have him looking so well these days. :o))) x

they say great minds think alike Terra and it is lovely to see him so well-- maybe some of Truffles energy has rubbed off (wish you could bottle it! )
