And Didnt It Rain oh Chillun.....

I'm on the computer too, have put the heating on as well!!!!! Naught else to do but browse, but I enjoy that, sounds as if you do to!

Well I do..but OH not so keen...I end up buying more plants. God knows where I will put them all..have to try this new hydroponics thingy where they start growing stuff upwards...

going to be really cold down the east side this week I see, Grandmage..no wonder you putting on the heating...

Wont be cold for anyone !!! By the way browsing means looking not shopping Lol.!!

since when??? no one told me that..and its too late now, got the habit lol!

Brilliant, dont lets tell Oh's !

I haven't got the online purchasing bug as yet.....but there's always a first time! lol Hubby is starting to sigh when I talk "garden", "plants", "fencing".....I'll have to keep this to myself and see what I can find online...hehe

I'm with you Grandmage.....don't lets tell Oh's.

Very wet here too but with the bursts of sun that get to peek through once in awhile the trees are looking really nice....autumn colours slowly coming to the fore.

We have had lots of rain, I'm so glad we mowed the lawn yesterday, now will it be the last time this year, says she hopefully??

thats one thing about gravel and slabs..dont have to mow..
I have to be careful when ordering on line..we have 2 puters in the office..mine is on internet and OH's is just for him playing scrabble..he's doing it now..shhhhh...

Funny my oh plays solitaire !! they dont know what they are missing. shhhhh Lol!

Stopped raining here and still fairly warm, have been to the GC only for boring things like compost, feed, etc, but........managed to slip in some snazzy bulb markers, 2 small plants, and one expensive bulb, I wait until he is about to pay then slip them on the counter......what can he say? he is starting to cotton on now, he keeps me very close to his side lol

I wondered whether you would get those expensive markers daisy..brilliant maneouvres!

He loves you, thats why Dd !!

That's what I'm doing wrong....gotta slip the things on the counter just as OH brings out his wallet! Got it!

Ta-dah! Best gardening tip all day!!

I really love it, brilliant, LOL.

Bye the way, did anyone bother to look at the "Avant Garde" clematis..it really is a good one..
Not as good as Daisy's tip admittedly...

http://www.clematis-nursery.co.uk/page313.html I couldn't locate a photo on the RHS site but did find this one on another nursery site. It looks very bold in colour.

......not advertising the nursery....just to show a photo! :)

try the Guernsey nursery, I think they bred it. Trouble is Im running out of places to put clematis. I love the Viticella Purpurea flora plena Elegans and this one...oh decisions, decisions....

I don't hide things from anyone :o)) I couldn't be bothered lol. Do your own thing is what I always say. If I want to buy something I buy it and that's that... ! Any moaning is totally ignored.

Clematis is a real beauty.......by the way.!!

I think Taylors sell Avant Garde...not my bag, but very striking! yeah, I checked, they do have it....http://www.taylorsclematis.co.uk/search.php?mode=search&page=1

Just had a look at Avante Garde, isn't it pretty. Havn't got space for any more clematis (always say that) but have got to have one. It is a beauty.

Ha ha Rohima! You are showing the early signs of an infectious disease knows as Chronic Clemitis ...you have two choices. You can either give in and become a blethering idiot like me; or you can put the catalogue down, close down the browser and focus on your Acer collection for at least half an hour a day. Sometimes complete abstinence for at least a year can get rid of the infection, but I have to tell you....I think you might be too late! Good news is, this disease, unlike many others (of which i know you have experience!) doesn't give any pain at all except to the wallet (which has no feelings) and brings much joy...sometimes all year round if you can find a sheltered spot for a Clematis Cirrhosa!! Best wishes, Karen x

Love it Karen just bought 4 more clematis, OH says you do not need any more!! what does he know lol

Zey know nosink!
