It is a big rascal so happen you're reet. It's next door's, that's my side of it. I do have a pink rose bush that's showing no sign of springing to life just now.

Just looking at my gran's camellia now - half the size of your neighbour's (she regularly trims her bush) but it's in flower too.

S/he looks rather tired to me, thebish. Probably the bloody paparazzi?

Read “Games we played as children”… It’s quite plain I left my 40s behind looooooong ago.

Well, you saved me saying it !!
The same with the bllx on the "trouble at school thread too". Shame, as I'd got to quite enjoy the Ax.

Oh dear. Well all I can say is you’ve led sheltered lives if you think that those stories are fiction. I have much better tales than that from my past.
Shame, as I’d quite got to trust one or two of you on here, too.

Adieu, I know when I’ve outstayed a welcome.

Good luck with the relegation battle.

Out in the garden today. Got blimming big rats chewing through the nesting box of my chicken house (i saw one - looked more like a small elephant) and black insects eating away at my cherry tree. Went back inside and decided to finish painting the bathroom today in preference to dealing with it all.

There are times when you two really, really worry me.

This is my first year with a garden/yard for ages. Friend gave me a little tomato plant in May, promptly put it in the biggest pot I could find filled with miracle grow compost. Now, it's huge and full of varying sized tomatoes. It's apparently a hybrid of cherry and beef so calling it a cheef.

Been growing some Pak Choi indoors so those little fellas are going outdoors at a friend's house at the weekend.

So you've finally got a garden/yard and you're sending out your pak choi on agistment? :conf:

It's more of a yard than a garden, there's no soil so they're going somewhere to live in the ground. I've kept some in a rectangular container that are indoors at the moment but may well go out in the yard at some point. Clearing the space for the little blighters at my friend's place was terrifying, the most sinister thing being loads of slug eggs under the soil. My plan is to mix compost into the soil, put loads of slug pellets down and cover with horticultural fleece. They're big enough to go outside now, I just have to put my control issues aside and let go! :lol:
