#586 | Excellent, Frank! My nieghbour uses large plastic bottles for that purpose.
Here are some photos of the roses. I planted my runner beans and courgettes in the rain that was falling this morning. It is much needed.
The first two are of the climbers in the back garden, roses and wisteria; the red rose is "Etoille de Hollande"; next are "Gloire de Dijon" and "Abraham Darby" (only one flower at present),;and "Golden Shows" on the arch round my front door.
Hope you enjoy them.

#588 | Very nice!
After that, I'm a little hesitant to post my pic.
Oh well, it's spring finally, and after 6+ months of nothing, it looks good to me. | | Distinguished Member with 16,482 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Vancouver British Columbia |

#592 | Hello Trekguy, Frank, Bob.
Thanks. Yes, a lot of photos, but I don't expect I'll do that same holiday again, so took the opportunity to take photos to help me remember. I'm a compulsive "snapper", anyway!
It took a week to edit them all and get them onto Webshots. I can view them at home using the slideshow option in "Picasa", which is fun.
Very strong winds today, drying everything, which isn't what we need. The suns out now (1.16 p.m. Tuesday).

#593 | Hello everyone! All the Spring pictures look great! I have been busy getting my hands dirty, pulling weeds, preparing the flower beds for when the time is right to plant annuals. I planted a couple mulberry trees, one already has little buds on it! Mulched the front flower bed, and added a couple more primroses. Spring is devine!!
Penny, don't get discouraged if those yellow toms don't sprout right away.. I was watering my starter tom plants this morning and noticed that one of the yellow toms finally sprouted, 3 weeks behind the rest of my starters.. Guess they take awhile to sprout!
Happy Gardening everyone!
Chari

Bob your Dahlias are well ahead of mine, my potted ones are only about six inches...  we need some warmer weather to boost them, It's been unseasonably cool this Spring, I leave my potted ones in the pots, this way I can move them around and change the look of the garden, if you know what I mean.....  the ones I left in the ground wintered over fine they are starting to show, everything else doing very well even though it is still cool, the forcast say warmer temp's ahead........but I'm not holding my breath,  well must get started big gardening day ahead, weather permitting.......  ttfn and don't forget, keep getting those hands dirty........HAGO...... | | Distinguished Member with 6,679 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England, UK Experience: Learning as I go along |

#595 | Hello Chari.
Success! I saw them at the nursery the other day and they've sprouted and are growing well. Nice to hear about your gardening. Good luck with it. I didn't do much today, deadheaded the odd rose flower. Still not up to par, with a cold. | | Distinguished Member with 6,679 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England, UK Experience: Learning as I go along |
