The Pointless Page

I agree! I have a wonderful climbing rose smothering a railing fence, hundreds of buds, wouldn't want them all spoiling! I spent last week tying up some of my plants to help them withstand downpours and winds, would have been pointless if we get a deluge. 

Semi gentle rain, enough for a good soaking, then sun please to dry off buds and flower heads!

TDA you jinxed it pointless! It's lashing down hard and dolly dancing too. Plants are being battered but it's bright so hope it won't last too long 😲. Oh as I type it's slowed down and passing. Birds have come back out to forage for their babies after scattering 5 minutes ago. Almost clear blue in the time to type last sentences pointless decent steady rain please?

Had a coffee out at NT Montacute House late morning. espied a friend doing some volunteer gardening work. Have you had any time for your volunteer work TDA? I was mooching around the orangery there which has lots of scented geraniums and ferns etc, very pleasant.

Tomorrow OH and I are helping out at a charity plant sale.

Still not enough rain to really help the dry ground.

End of today's gardening report. 

Today i are be mostly cleaning the conservatory windows

I did the same this morning. (In fact I did all the outside windows, nice to be able to see out once more ) The novelty has worn off about doing the inside ones, might have a go tomorrow.

Just seen this brue! 

No, haven't managed to go for ages now, and I would rather go back on a regular basis than bit and bat each week.  OH's chemo day is same as volunteer day, so I need to be with him really. Miss it though, but it's not going anywhere. Meantime I have lots more time at home doing my own garden. 

We enjoyed Montacute, been round a couple of times. If I recall correctly, doesn't it have a portrait gallery upstairs? We love Lytes Cary Manor more though, fabulous gardens.

First rose out at home today, very early, "Winchester Cathedral"

Lovely bloom!! 

I'm not the biggest fan of Roses,  they have Thorns - Ouch!!

Definitely not Pointless !!  

I'm very much with you on this. Point or pointless 😮

Prickly subject! But I love roses. Lovely one to grow TDA.

A day off today. On my feet for several hours selling plants yesterday. I think the sale went well, I was doing the veg, people always ask for one you haven't got but most went away happy. They'll be busy now planting up.

One more week and we can escape for a few days. 

Any point in telling you that I'm having a brilliant time and it's stopped raining,  thought not
