Forgot photo Duh!
Good idea J52 I'm fishing around the back of the drinks cupboard as we speak!
Thanks for that 
They look lovely too Lisagran It's nice to see such a pure white for a change.
Cleared an overgrown area which wasn't on the agenda today. I found a few packets of Lilies I bought from B&Q that I bought in their sell off section. I'd forgotten all about them and now some of them have blue mould on. So I've taken the best ones and planted them directly into the garden.
I'm hoping to cut them for the house, if they survive my miss treatment!
These hyacinths in a pot outside smell amazing!
Well, in trying to keep occupied, I've rather jumped the gun, and planted my Sweet Pea plugs outside.
Just caught the weather forecast, and it's likely going to get colder in the next few days.
Also I may have given the slugs an unexpected feast!
I've put some gravel around the plants and will throw some bubble wrap or the like over them, IF I remember!
I love the end result but I'm really a c**p gardener.....too slapdash!
Still, these are testing times, and I just wanted to work outside until I was tired.
I hoped I would sleep better tonight, if only from exhaustion!
I don't want to spend another night tossing and turning.
But I think I've gone overboard now though, I'm aching rather.

PS I should have written WE, not I.
Nothing would get done around here, without DH!
It does shysal ...once my head is into one job, another follows automatically, and I've forgotten the world temporarily
Just given the lawn its first cut over the last two days.
The mower seemed as if it was giving up the ghost, but just about finished the job! At least it will look tidied if the weather changes and we cant go outside!
Forgot to post my picture. It’s surprisingly busy on house arrest!
I also put in another batch of Gladioli yesterday, but the ground was very wet and sticky. My new long handled bulb planter worked well. I think my eyes were bigger than my belly when I bought the Gladioli, I am running out of space to put them in groups in my cottage garden(ish) bed. I have added some Hollyhock and Foxglove plants too, as the self-sown seedlings that were coming on over winter have all disappeared.
I ordered just 3 blue poppy plants from Ideal World TV channel, but the order was cancelled and refunded due to 'unforseen circumstances'. However, the plants arrived yesterday with an invoice for £0.00! I have emailed customer services.
Also due to arrive from T&M in the next few weeks are plug plants of Nicotiana, Tidal Wave Petunias, large flowered and normal flowered Fuchsias, Buzy Lizzies and some pots of narrow leaved Agapanthus. I had a good show in planters on my patio last year (see pics), so am hoping for a profusion again.
mamsnanny I used nematocides and it always works for my Delphi’s although not so good for the host as. I’m rethinking them this year
