Teacherann sorry you are not feeling good today. If you have a lot of Moss on your drive soap powder is really good for getting rid of it. Just sprinkle it on dry and leave a few days. Won't get rid of weeds though but also does not damage plants.

I have used soda crystal to get rid of moss previously and it was very effective. However, as there are are a lot of weeds mixed up with the moss, I need to get rid of them first!

It only took me two hours to scrape the top layer of moss away and pull up the weeds so I can now put down the soda crystals to work their magic! The run off from them will not harm my lawn so I prefer it to using chemical based moss killer.

I am paying the penalty now though for exerting myself, my knees are really painful and I cannot sleep but I feel happy that I managed to complete the work ready for the next stage.

Slowly but surely is my method of gardening!

Spent some time in the greenhouse, I overwintered some Geraniums but they don’t look very happy, but the Gazinia might make it. I planted some runner beans and peas in seed trays.
It was nice and warm inside the greenhouse, but chilly in the wind in the garden.

I’ve been to the Royal Albert Hall to see The Classical Spectacular. Fabulous concert with lots of loud singing. Tomorrow we’re off to Plumpton in Sussex for a horse racing weekend. Can’t wait.

Been to the beach with DGS and my bloke. Looked lovely but with the wind chill was bitterly cold. He wanted chips afterwards but the queues were too big for me. Had to make do with an ice cream.

Yes, its a beautiful day here in Yorkshire. We are awaiting visitors from Scotland for a few days, so i am really glad its lovely weather because the lambs are in the field opposite, jumping, skipping and running after each other hahaha.

So despite the fact i haven't personally been outside to lap up the vit D, i am so happy that our visitors can enjoy the scenery even more so.

I’ve been for a walk and done some garden tidying, plus have planted out my sweet peas in two very big pots of new compost, with smart bamboo-cane wigwams to climb up, so they’d better be grateful and give me millions of flowers.

Wind is still chilly but I have an outdoor ‘sofa’ in a sheltered corner which gets the last of the sun, so I just sat there with a coffee - first time this year.

Isn't it lovely to see blue skies. I had a walk by the river and the sun was sparkling on the water. I walked further up the hill but the wind was freezing up there but the view was spectacular on this weather.

‘This a chilly wind here in north Wiltshire, I have walked DDog twice and done a few hours gardening. Hyacinths that have gone over from being indoors are now in a newly dug-over bit of border, I have assembled a small shelving unit for in the greenhouse and generally pootled around. Cup of tea then perhaps a bit more outside. It’s lovely in the sun or the greenhouse and several big fat bumblebees enjoying early flowering plants.
Tomorrow’s apparently not so warm so looking forward to the warmer weather midweek.

Having driven home from the NE late last night we thought we would go for a nice walk around the village in the sunshine to stretch our legs. Gosh it is not at all warm despite the blue sky and sunshine. Stopped on the green to watch the young children practising their football skills and my hands were frozen, despite holding a coffee. Having been away all week we are quite happy to potter in the back garden where it's a bit warmer.

Had a lovely day at the seaside day yesterday but it’s very windy here today, so am still indoors. I hung the washing out earlier and nearly got blown away. SE England.

Washing out. Just started off wormery with GD, so exciting, she says. I think we'll have a fun afternoon in the garden.

Beautiful here, sunny with a cloudless sky but windy, perfect for drying the washing. I’m having my coffee in the garden. Hoping to be able to get the grass cut in a couple of days once it’s dried out.

I’ve got to wait until this afternoon though when I will have taken my second set of painkillers.

I was hoping to get outside to scrape moss and weeds off my drive but my knees are very stiff and sore today. I think I will sit outside and repot loads of baby aloe Vera plants ready for a plant sales. If I do it at the front of my house, I can chat to the passers by!

Lovely here too, but a bit windy. Just washed some really thick jumpers of DHs and they are now on the line.
Always gardening to do but I think I will potter in the green house. Pear tree coming into blossom and the broad beans are about 5cm tall. Splendid

* on our marina not in!

We are lucky to live not too far from the coast so making the most of it and having a drive there with our GS. Used to to take him quite often before he started school. It’s about 30 minutes away.
Tomorrow we will go and have a coffee in our local marina just down the road and have an easy day. When the weather is like this mundane jobs can wait.

4 day long weekend here in Ireland and weather lovely. Will be mowing the lawn shortly and then meeting a friend for coffee.

OH will be glued to the rugby. I’m still full of cold and my ear hurts so I’ll be mainly lying on the sofa reading. I took some sausages out of the freezer to defrost so OH can cobble together bangers and mash for dinner. At least I can look out of the window at the blue sky!

Gardening here too. And a bit of 6 Nations I hope.
Pottering about this weekend before a week of G'parent duty next week!

so lets all get out and about this weekend

Unless of course you have covid. Then stay home please.

It's bright and beautiful here today, but with a cold easterly wind. I hope to start sorting out old pots in the garden, ready for new plants soon.
I will go for a walk a some point, well wrapped up, as it's a pity to waste this sunshine.

Yes beautiful here. Have son1 staying for the weekend. Wonderful. We had a very lengthy to riverside walk yesterday and today we're going to a football match to see one of his favourite teams

Off to walk the dog in the hills then back to spend the day gardening. Tomorrow I'm off to Bath for a few days of pottering around in the sun and visiting the Fashion Museum. Spring flowers out everywhere and the blossom coming on the pear tree. It's all such a treat after the winter weather.
