Good Afternoon all. Welcome to the Potting Shed, the thread that’s opened every Monday for all your off-topic discussions.
This week we’re celebrating the birthdays of:
14 Anneliesje
14 Michelle78
15 Jardack
Happy Birthday all!
A warm welcome to the newbies; Happygardener33 and Claire - it's great to have you both on board and the more the merrier. Also congratulations on first prize Rain! It’s nice to see all your hard work paying off
I caught up on weeding this weekend and harvested lots; on this week’s menu there’s going to be carrots, broccoli, potatoes and lots more courgettes.
Please note, I’m not in the office on Monday so I’m going to leave this thread open a little longer than usual.

This is my first time at being first at anything.
Been weeding myself today, Daisy. Only my rockery which is very difficult as I have to be careful not to tumble otherwise I would fall in the pond. That would kill the rest of the fish off!
Eldest son's ex-partner has just phoned to say her results from the removal of a carotid tumour are negative. Another hurdle over. Still something wrong but could be due to having a weak immune system. More tests. -

Hi Kit.
Weeding, what's that?! I'm terrible & only do it when it's blindingly obvious that I need to! I do let loads of stuff self-seed everywhere, so need to recognise things first, otherwise it could be valuable!
The sun now keeps trying but there are a lot of very black clouds around. Drove back from work through more rain & then 100yds on, none! It actually feels quite warm out there so I may risk putting out the washing I did earlier to save on tumbling time.
It's nice that your son's ex still in touch with you & that the results are -ve. J. -

Have been fiddling about on laptop all afternoon, apart from when I had a looooong conversation with a friend. I have a horrible little weed everywhere which had reddish leaves and little yellow flowers and I cannot get rid of it. I can kill it off with Pathclear where it pops up in the path and where all the stones are but have to physically get it out from rockery. Visualise a chunky old girl perilously balancing on rockery stones, bending down with little fork digging silly little weed out!
I do have a good relationship with son's ex-partner because of my grandson. Both he and my son lived with me for 5/6 years. Had to get on with ex for his sake. However, saying that son and ex have a fantastic relationship in that they are the best of friends. When she married, she said to new husband, 'you do realise I come with baggage'. No, not her son, but mine! It has made things so much easier. -

That sounds like oxalis Kit. It will be with you forever so you'll have to learn to love it! At least it looks fairly pretty. I've got it all over the place and have learnt to live with it.
I'm glad the results were negative. Hope the news continues to be hopeful in that quarter.
They've promised us rain tomorrow but I will believe it when I see it. They said it would rain last Friday and we ended up with 1mm.
They are doing Monty Don on tonight's Who Do You Think You Are so I am about to turn the telly on. -

Evening all, I'm spending much of this week welldressing with my mum. She lives in the village where Florence Nightingale spent much of her life (Holloway, Derbyshire), so lots of events to commemorate the centenary of her death. Including a welldressing. This morning puddling clay for my dad to spread on to the boards, and transporting boards to church. Tomorrow more exciting stuff - pricking out the design and doing the outlines with seeds etc. In some ways I'm hoping for a rainy week so I can go and do that rather than go to work! It's lovely how people can just drop in and do a bit and have a chat when they fancy it.
Glad to hear your ex-DIL's news Kit. I do hope my anagram didn't seriously disturb your sleep!!! -

Hi all. Need to book a slot for Tesco delivery, but nipped in first whilst have a well earned coffee.
Had a good morning at work & did a bit of shopping on way back meeting neighbours, a friend & someone from work at a local retail park on the way home. Also realised that neighbours had parked their car next to mine when I returned to it. Now considering the size of car parks there quite a coincidence or what?
MDE, OH now works in Derbyshire & wanted to know if I could go down to see some of the well-dressing tomorrow night & stay in the hotel that he uses, but am working an extra on Thurs, when OH comes home, so we'll miss the one we wanted to go to. Wouldnt be surprised if he goes anyway as people from work are involved.
Drat, was hoping to be out when the phone call came, but have just wriggled out of definitely making a booking for car service. Yes I know due, but GP appointment greater priority so cant commit to anything till that sorted. J. -

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all well and enjoying gardening.
More tidying than gardening for me. When my blessed house is sold I hope to visit gardens and well-dressing and the sea-side and generally swan around having a good time.
Looked at some lovely cottages in Yorkshire but only one of my children is up there and the rest are nearer to me here. My work is down here too and it takes time to establish in a new place. Having lived on the Lancashire side of the moors for my first 25 years I feel quite a pull to the hills, though.
I know that I am lucky to have choices so must not make too much of it. Happiness is not about where you are but about well-being. OH always said, "What is meant to happen will happen." So shall just get on with the weeding again tomorrow.
hey-ho.

Summerchild - I totally agree with your OH. I have always thought that what was meant to be will be. Hope you find somewhere nice to live.
MDE - I’ve vaguely heard of welldressing but have never seen it "in the flesh". Sounds fun.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but it is actually raining here today! By the time I got home from work there was a whole 9mm recorded on my rain monitor. Only one water butt has filled up so far, but I am hoping that a wet night will fill the others up (they are all connected). This is the first evening I haven’t been out with the watering can for weeks.
Funnily enough, I was in a water efficiency meeting for two hours this afternoon whilst it rained outside! -

Evening. You beat me to it Summer.
I had to look up welldressing MDE as I didn't want to appear ignorant. You learn something new every day. Looks extremely difficult.
Jo, you seem to do an awful lot of driving. Is it to do with your work?
At the risk of boring you, my pond is back to normal. No more high Ammonia levels. What a relief.
As it has been raining most of the day, I have been really good and started sorting out my son's expenses ready to input on the spreadsheets. The problem is, he just gives me a tin containing months and months of receipts, many of which are non-work related, all screwed up. I even had old Lottery tickets included this time! I also do the same for my SIL who presents them all in nice little envelopes sorted monthly. My son has always been away with the fairies.
Just got bridesmaid dress for GD. Oh I wish I was 8 again. It's a real fairy princess dress, if you know what I mean. She is coming tomorrow to try it on. I can't wait. -

OMG have just screamed & worried neighbour who came round to check!! Was in garage, which we access via a door in the porch, putting vegetables into rack when heard a lot of scrabbling noises from veg rack & out flew an ENORMOUS moth, straight at me!! Must have been in there & with me putting the light on..... Door now shut & light off!
Right, having taken ages to get Tesco sorted (why did they change their web site?), am going to clear up in kitchen before daughter gets back.
Car booked in at local place that does services to manufacturer's standards. It means that I can drop car off, walk the mile back, have the Tesco delivery & still do things in/around house/garden. Otherwise a long bus ride back from main dealership & back again much later as no courtesy cars available for that day. I also know that the local people are cheaper! J. -

Well dressing is done in many villages around here where I live. Probably the finest example is at a little place called Tissington:

David, thanks for the picture. That is so beautiful and how lovely that so many people are involved. The Flower Parade in Spalding, with the decorated floats is the nearest thing we have in this area to that decorative tradition. Of course there is no element of religion in that, but many people do get involved in pinning the tulip heads onto the frames.
Jo, don't you just get weary of all the faff connected with cars? I know I do.
Kit, I was widowed three years ago and now that my youngest is living in London it is time to downsize. It is as hard for her as it is for me to leave the family home but I shall make sure that I have plenty of room for her and her piano, as well as for other visitors.

Jo you or your OH welcome to come and look, but only 9 to 5ish in Holloway Parish Church! What does he do, I'm intrigued.
To be honest things not gone very well today. My mum is masterminding the thing and getting a bit het up with people not doing a good enough job. Very embarrassing - she's not the most tactful of people!

Hi Summerchild, know what you mean about cars.
Decide in the end on the local option as didnt like being 'nagged' by dealership. Also know them of old, past problems with old car, so when OH found out about this local set up doing 'to manufacturers standards' etc I thought I'd nothing to lose. With the problems with Dad likely to increase I couldnt face more hassle with the dealership.

Am off to see if any more black clouds around before I try putting the washing out again! Did all my errands this morning & have had an early lunch.
No point in even bothering to get mower out, everywhere so wet, so one less job.

I'll put your washing out for you Jo. It's a lovely drying day here. Don't you just love the smell of the clothes when you bring them in. My favourite perfume. There is one called "White Linen" but it is nothing near.
Rain, I expect these weeks will feel the longest, but when you are free you can "Play hell with a big stick," as my Granny used to say. (Hope that word does not offend anyone).

Yes I've been making notes about what I want/need to do this Autumn. Bulbwise, I only need some tulips really, but expect I'll end up with more.
Have abandoned all hope of drying washing outside, even though it's reasonable at the mo. I just cant be bothered to keep checking & then having to dash out etc so have tumbled things. Have sorted the airing cupboard out & put things away/on daughter's bed so ready for the next lot once tumbler finished.
Need to do a 'quick' clean up & then will make a start on the paperwork as planning to visit Dad again this w/end- just as weather supposed to improve for us! At least the seedlings in the cold-frame are still with us. J. -

Jo - It sounds as if you have really been suffering with the weather. Isn't it strange that two bits of the same country can be so different?
Summer - I also love the smell of washing that has been on the line. There has been lots of nice drying weather in Sussex this year. I like to wash the sheets in the morning and then put them back on the bed that same evening to make the most of the outdoors smell.
David - That was a lovely welldressing photo.
I've just been watering the pumpkins. This is my first pumpkin year and I am obsessed. There are now 3 good sized ones and 1 huge one. I am looking forward to roast pumpkin and will definitely be doing this again next year.
I'm not so sure that I will be growing courgettes again. It occurred to me today that I never usually buy courgettes in the supermarket and they don't actually taste of anything. I always have to add things to the courgettes (lots of garlic mainly) whereas my other veg (french beans, tomatoes, potatoes, etc) are nice just on their own. It is a bit of a waste to expend all this TLC on a vegetable that I am not keen on.
I had a tiresome day in the office today so it was nice to get back home to my garden. I sit next to the world's most annoying man and he was driving me to distraction! -

Thank you Daisy for welcoming me to the board, and to you all for making me feel so welcome by your very helpful posts.
I got a really good book from a car boot last weekend for the amazing price of 20p its the flower expert so i have been swatting up on what perenials and bulbs i would like in my garden.
Will be taking a look in wilko's as someone has suggested, does any body get them over internet?? if so could you guide me in the right direction.
Ive started to widen my borders, this week so lots of digging while the weather is nice and done lots of washing too, nothing like a line full of white washing on a beautiful day.
One more day off before i get back to work and i intend to spend most of it in the garden.
Today has been interesting i looked after my friends 3 daughters so had 5 children 6yrs and under for most of the day so i am shattered and off to bed in a minute, read my book in peace for 10mins before i go to sleep.

Hi Claire, although you are probably asleep by now. My daughter says she doesn't know how anyone manages to have more than one child, (she might change her mind though).
KG I feel for you sitting next to annoying person. It makes such a difference to the day if you have fun with those around you.
Jo, So sorry about the tiles. My day went downhill too. Cleaning silt from the fields off windows I managed to tip a full bowl of dirty water onto the hall carpet, and then cutting back ivy I got fiendishly bitten. Should have gone to bed at noon.
Hope everything is ok when you go to see your dad.

Claire - I like the "expert" series of books and have several of them. 20p sounds like a good bargain.
I've just been watching a film on the Â鶹Éç iPlayer called "Greenfingers". It was about prisoners who enter a garden at Hampton Court. The ending was a bit silly but it scored high on the feel-good factor and I liked it.
My father is coming to stay again at the weekend so I made a lemon cake this evening. Last time he was here he commented on how often I make chocolate brownies so I think he wanted a bit of a change. -

Evening girls, not been welldressing today as had to go to work, so left my 3 kids with parents to help/hinder proceedings!
I've seen greenfingers KG, like you say it all ends up a bit soppy, but good film nevertheless.
We're off on holiday next Weds for 12 days, so already worrying about the garden - toms, courgettes, raspberries and sweet peas just coming into full swing. My neighbours are feeding the cats, so will tell them to help themselves, but I doubt they will!

There is a saying in France about losing weight as one grows older, summerchild - it's something like 'face, or form'. In other words, you can either be slim and have a droopy face, or be plump and look a bit younger! I've just got to the stage where I have to make up my mind. So I'm trying to lose weight, but wondering if I will end up looking like a bloodhound! -

Isnt it infuriating when you know that you need to lose some weight, (as I do again- been overdoing the 'me treats' lately) but people say how well you are looking. Cant win can you?
I've got to be 'good' again as I cant afford health, or money, wise to change size again! Must admit have no interest in gyms, digging a border is the equivalent surely? So am trying to walk a lot more, rather than the car, but with Dad not being so good I seem to be up/down M6 all the time. Not good for the posterior!
Am pleased to say that I've started my accounts & plan to get it all finished tomorrow! Need to do some for OH too. Then off down to Dad's again on Saturday early morning. All go this end.
Oh, daughter told OH about the tiles coming off. He wasnt too bothered, as we knew that they'd been loose for ages. So no panic about that now.

Despite all our recent rain up here I had to water the patio pots earlier as their foliage had prevented them getting properly wet. It was raining as I did it!

Yep. I'm here Jo. How long a journey is it to your Dad's? Will you stay overnight?
Cleaned my pond this morning. Everything looking OK. Sent a complaining e-mail to Moss Bros as our local store has really messed up with son's wedding suits order. Actually received a reply within 2 hours. Not too sure yet what is going to happen. He asked me to do it because he knows I am good at complaining. Having said that, I always make a point of complimenting when service is good. Don't want you to think I am a moaner.
Rest of the afternoon I have done nothing except keep taking bedding off the line and put it back again. Given up now and it is indoors. Sun is now shining.
I don't suppose for one minute that your daughter realises that her granddad may be a bit upset not seeing her. I know how I feel about my 15 year old who, up until 2 years ago, more or less lived with me and now only turns up for his pocket money! I suppose you just have to accept that they feel they have more important things to do.
Hope all goes well with your Dad. -

My sympathies Jo. I live in West Cornwall and my Dad lived in East London. When he was very ill, I commuted there every week ( one week there, a few days home). At the end, I ended up living there because I'd no sooner get home ( a 6 hr drive) when he'd need me back again. I don't regret it, however, you just do what you have to. Keep your chin up

Hello all, this looks like a pleasant corner to have a chat. It's been persistently raining for hours. Not sure when it started but at some point early this morning it came down so hard it woke me up, but I managed to turn over and ignore it.
I've got 9 ducks taken refuge on the garden this morning. When it rains heavily it makes the river run faster. I hope the 9 new ducklings we fed last night are safely tucked up by their mummy somewhere too. Our bank is too high for them to get out which is a good thing as I have 3 cats. We only get fully grown ones on our garden who can flap their way up to us. the cats don't bother them and they don't bother about the cats either especially one who is often seen sitting with them.
Someone mentioned the Archers potting shed. Sounds fun so may look in there too. -

An old work colleague of mine has had the same duck + new ducklings returning to her garden for 3 years now. She supplies them with a child's paddling pool. Reckons they make an awful mess of her garden but she loves it. The rabbits are intrigued.
Hope you are ok Rain.
My daughter and grandchildren came this afternoon and my daughter wrote in the dust on my furniture! When she went, I looked and thiough it was about time I did it so dusted all downstairs and hoovered and dusted my bedroom (that was the worst room). I reckon she has OCD because she's always got a duster in one hand, bleach in the other and works the hoover with her feet!! (Not really). I tell her to relax, chill out. There's more to life than housework. -

Hello from me too gonewest, and kit, and anyone else who's about.
I don't do dusting either kit, but my son has started drawing smiley faces along the opened lid of the piano. Fine until his teacher comes for his lesson!
We went to see Toystory 3 tonight - very good, although I didn't think it was worth paying the extra to see it in 3D. OH and me have just admitted to each other we had a little tear at the end of it, where it's about leaving childhood behind.
