Janice.....next time I'm in the south must take time to pop into Denbies........thank god for satnav....

Rose..........glad to hear your influence is rubbing off..
There is a theory that when we realise and appreciate the energy in all things then we are the beginning of lifes true journey..

Janice...I am lol...I just got side tracked watching the news and wanted to post other thread xx

John, I talk to the plants...especially newly planted ones...give them a little encouragement ...

when my son was little I heard him one day as he watered some plants on the patio "sorry it's only gungy water my darling" lol

Rose - thought you were going to paint this afternoon!

John - Denbies Vineyard on the outskirts of Dorking in Surrey is flourishing - visited there for a tour some years back with wine tasting - bought some as well - you should be able to find in on Google. Also some others in Sussex.

its a sign of the times, next time you are out looking tell it i was asking, I normally cup my hands a few inches away and send some chi into the plant. Sounds crazy but it makes me feel better.

John, one thing I have just noticed is that the Peony is showing its red shootsabout 8 inches off the ground....early for that.

Janice,

just think of all that energy you will receive, when the weather starts to heat up and the plants start giving out their energy. You lot are so lucky down south with all the hours of sunshine. They tell me the grapes are now taking hold in some areas. Not long before we see a fruity english vintage.

John

Hi Janice, was away for a bit there lol.

Glad you are feeling better, the fresh air will do you good as long as it is not too cold. Haven't forgotten i owe you a PM! will get to it soon lol...

Afternoon RR and everyone - I've been outside for 2 hours tidying, sweeping leaves and dead-heading polyanthus in tubs (only doing gentle work promise!)
Had lovely sunshine this morning so I made the most of it when it got back from my walk to the corner shop for my paper. As I have lunch it is now clouding over.
At least I've now got some fresh air in my poor old lungs - but am feeling a whole lot better this week.

Rose,

you cant beat the old cuttings. My mum found an old perennial (Geranium) in a skip behind some old houses. It has now spread through half the population in Scotland, I keep seperating it and giving it to other gardeners, I tell them to do the same each time they thin it.

ah well John that far north it is a bit early for the daff's.

Some of the plants I have are cuttings from the original plants my grandmother had....so they really are part of the family! Those will have to come with me when I move for sure.

Rose,

I am near Stirling in Scotland, losing plants is like losing a part of the family. You feed and nurture your plants to get a good show and make people feel good.
We tend not to like losing anything as it seems as if we have lost control of it. The secret is to think of it as making room for a new friend.

Good Morning Joy xx

John, assuming if your daff's aren't out you are somewhere north of Wales, they were earlier here than last year. shame about the rhodedendron, hate losing plants myself.

xx

Rose,

Not many Daff's yet, must be my location, that dam rhodie had to come out, thought it had that disease, didnt want it to spoil the azealeas, get a good show in May.

John

GOOD MORNING

HAVE A GREAT DAY XX

Hi John, yes it does look like spring with all the Daff's ,and hyacinths,violets and primroses in the garden. Cold though!
