What have you done today in the Garden?

Nothing today it's raining, I've been singing again.

 

……like, in the rain?

 

Those are beautiful seedlings @Melody Mc. ! Incredible care you are giving them!

 

I've done nothing today apart from getting in a bit of music practice.
I taught myself to play this (after a fashion). The tune from the film "Tokyo Joe" I mentioned on another thread.

It'll be wet again tomorrow, but I'll go to the garden centre, as we need a replacement clematis to grow up the first fence panel on the right-hand side of the French windows.
I also want to get some more lavenders, like these we had last year, that got killed off in the freeze. They were actually three plants in one pot, but I may be too early.

 

Thank you my Friend. Definitely a little lighter step.

 

Thanks Buddy. That is very kind. My kids call them my "sanity plants". When I come out from checking on everyone, Hubby asks "How are the kids today? Growing fast?".

 

I really enjoyed listening to that DHR. It amazes me how many sounds you can combine - an entire band with an orchestra. You're a talented fella! Thanks for sharing.

I have a question about the heather...does it keep it's colour all season? It is such a lovely plant. I looked and can get them as an annual here in the more southern cities. Not in my location. I'll enjoy yours instead.

 

Thanks for that.
I don't think they will, we've not had them before, but at the moment there's no sign of them fading.

 

No, it's a joke, my singing has caused it to rain.

 

I like rain songs.

My leccy piano can do thunder, wind and rain.

Decades ago the BBC disk jockey Jimmy Young, used to introduce this by saying "Here is a weather report."

 

I have some cool snowy weather for a few days, with highs of 2 and lows of -10...so my plan to grow flowers and have them in the greenhouse during the day for spring has faltered. I had to get a bit creative with some grow light bulbs just to help out my little friends for a few days.

Hubby calls this my red neck grow light. I ran out of lamps but had one extra grow bulb to help the herbs and flowers. I stole the table lamp from the TV room, added an aluminum turkey roaster as a shade, and viola! I have the silliest looking but rather effective ( in a pinch) grow light. I think the roses appreciate it.

 

Chuckle. Loggie, it can’t be THAT bad.

Mel—I always said you were a clever cloggs. It is a brilliant solution. Nice work, meid.

 

No it's very good.

 

Very good, you now say? That sounds more like it. Chuckle.

 

Thank you Sjoerd, i visit my friends Marion and Geoffrey and i sing for them to the Carpenters.
