Hi Hun, no actual date just an apology to say , back log of more urgent cases is being dealt with atm. so l am not forgotten. So happy with that for now. l am glad nothing untoward is going on with you. So please carry on looking after yourself, and feel better soon. Its been wonderful here weather wise 24C yesterday and sunny. Finished planting new plants. I treated the Hydrangea with Cinnamon , Hun l cant believe the change in it. Last year l had only two flower heads , l thought it was the same this year. That is until l treated it ... l now have 12 buds amazing and l am really happy. l popped in a rusty screw couldnt find a nail lol. fingers crossed l might get blue blooms this year insted of normal pink ones. Found another garden hint to keep ants away, Turmeric so l saved the post for next year too late now for ones planted in the pots but will do it at the front of the house as there is more room. Getting right into it again while the weather is good.I dont mind the achy back lol. . Take care sweetie. Love and Hugs Sis xxx

Hi Hun, yes l really enjoy it when its nice, l sleep better too afterwards. Its like therapy working in the warm sunshine and the soil has its benfits too. l did well today and quite quickly compared to planting out before. The new pot looks ceramic but is in fact plastic , it just needs a bit more soil in there which l bought on Saturday l will do that tonight after watering so l know how much l need. I know its dearer buying the small bags but its better quality and easier to manage on the scooter. Yes he does come up with some good ideas at times lol. . The garden pests are just that but l wont use pesticides for two reasons, one l dont believe in killing any creature and two Precious is in my garden more than her own, l would be devastated if she was made ill by it. Cant deter the ants much but l planted mint in some pots as the dont like it , that works and as l said Vaseline for the slugs , shame l forgot to do the barrels , now l can recall what l did with the jar lol. l have a large one upstairs so will use that if l cant find the small one.

Yes its a pain they were eaten but l bought a replacement its the same as the large one l have in there Fuschia so hopefully it will be ok. I have just come in from replanting the mini barrels in the back garden, some in there were eaten so l will Vaseline the rims like l have on the other pots. I am glad you are resting more and taking vitamins, these bugs seem to hit us older folk harder dont they. Oh yes the cupboard doent hold any where near enough linen and towels as before. K likes his bigger bed but tends to nap well on the new recliner sofa lol. . Take care sweetie, l hope you get some nicer weather soon, sunny and warm like it is here its 20C with no breeze.
