They're stunning Petra!
Do you ring the changes each year or have a set pattern?

I believe the trick with bulbs is to continue feeding after they have flowered, taking the spent blooms off first.
The goodness for next year is in the leaves. (I used to live next door to a professional gardener 
)
Yes - but where do you put 16 pots! 
Hello Lobstars!
Thanks for tracing our origins ixion
Such a long time and so supportive all the way.
I have the card from you all, but I think sent by Nortsat, after DH died.
❤️
Back to today. Your flowers are wonderful NotSpag . At least the squirrels leave you some. All my tulip bulbs have been devoured by deer.
My Dsis and BiL are staying and we have been so busy going for walks and catching up.
watching films, drinking wine and reminiscing I haven't had time to come on here.
DD and family were down at the weekend as was DS and DGS but not at the same time. Fifi, my help, has been a delight. Yesterday I let her off to explore Edinburgh but we'll all do something today. We may visit DD in the Highlands because auntie and uncle say they have never seen their niece's newest place.
We had a Very Important meeting with the Music school people yesterday. I hope it all goes ahead.
Fingers crossed 🤞
Some photos from yesterday's walk.
Morning All
It's been a pretty good weekend on the whole considering that my HRT pills are out of stock and I'm having to go cold turkey! (Aching all over and the headache started as I was driving home yesterday.) I'd been thinking of coming off them as I'm on the tiniest dose of just oestrogen, but it apparently helps with my appalling memory and likelihood of developing osteoporosis. A strong possibility as my DM and DGM both suffered. The surgery opens in half an hour and I'll be waiting on the door step!
The photo is of DS kite surfing at Old Hunstanton. One of my favourite places and I'd hoped the strong north wind might help lift my spirits. "Come and take photos" he said. And then stays out to sea on the other side of a large deep pool rather than closer in further along the beach with the others. Even with 30 times telephoto my old SLR couldn't do much! By the time the tide came in enough for him to be closer I was an icicle and Kira definitely wasn't happy!
Petra, advise needed. what do you do with your finished flowering tulips? I have a lot in the garden of the common sort which stay in and make up, but fancier ones flower once and just vanish. Do you lift them and replant? If so when? Help please!
I'm also new to fig growing and had no idea that squirrels ate them. It hadn't occurred to me. And I have figs coming. Lots of them! Should I thin them out? We got the first ones. Six of them, just a few weeks before DH died and it was wonderful to be able to share them fresh from the tree and warm from the sun. A first for both of us and a special moment.
I do hope your Big Meeting went the way you wanted Grammaretto. Fingers crossed and I hope you're not left in suspense too long.
(I just looked to see if the fingers crossed emoji - I hadn't noticed that the Father Christmas' are there. Is it early for C? Or just left over?)
Off to get ready to await the opening of the surgery. I could sit on the phone but after three days closed its going to be manic.
Pots?
Try this - a veritable feast for the eyes .
