Cant find my first post so I'll start again 
Well this one will be shorter so please ask Q??, before Val got here I tidied up the front yard and dead headed a few roses as I have to keep them yummy when Val comes to visit as she is my main comp  
Then I cleaned up the veggie patch  all ready now for broc. and parsnips if not too early 
When Val got here we had a chat and she checked out the new babes 
Then off outside, Val mentioned she is going to make up a barrow so I's thinks better give her some practice
I fiddle farted around doing other bits n pices, then inside for lunch
After luch I thought I'd better make a barrow of bulbs as well, so we cleaned up lots of either jonnies or daffs, cant remember Tipped the old barrow out and forgot it was the one with the crappy bum 
......cont. next post, aint loosing my thread this times 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

..... cont page 2......
This is how I do mass plantings Richard  and how to fix a broken bm Gail
I cleaned up all the old sol and de roots it and then put back into barrow all bar enough to cover the bulbs, plant, put my secret potion in, cover with soil and water in 
While I was doing that Val said he would not mind puling a few weeds and I goes lookin for her and she is stuck in the roses 
Put my baby ponytail into a pot and stand I found recently from work
and planted lots of Iris as well, some here under the mini apple and more in the garden

if they don't they're weeds.

I can see that but why not just quote the text..
Why did Val put the pics on again I wonder
Thats the trouble if you put too many pics on they wipe them off. 
Especially Birthday Greetings we know its got to do with blocking spam
So now has to goes on in two lots
