« Last post by mumofstig on Today at 11:43 »Blue sky and sun since I got up, first cuppa outside at 8AM 
I've been pottering in the garden ever since, I'm only inside now, cos Fred was demanding I refill his biscuit bowl

General Gardening / Getting grown plug plants out of modules.
« Last post by Goosegirl on Today at 10:15 »I'm about to plant out my antirrhinums and lobelia plants that I put into modules. When I have done this and upended one side I find that some of the others either fall out or get a bit squashed by the tray. Today I am going to try out using a shoe horn as it is smaller in size that a bulb trowel and they should come out much easier. Whaddya you think?

Chatting on the Plot / What are your least favourite household jobs?
« Last post by Goosegirl on Today at 09:42 »Mine are dusting, emptying the cat's litter tray and hoovering up (or rather Dysoning up) the dead bodies of wandering woodlice that find their way onto the carpets from places unknown especially when I've just done it then another one appears from nowhere.

General Gardening / Re: A pond
« Last post by pepsi100 on Today at 09:33 »It will be partially buried, about 18 inches above ground, so the chances of frogs getting in there are pretty slim
I havent seen frogs in my garden for many years now
The bugs and bees like the pond plants in my other pond
There are lots of bugs and insects living in my old pond (one of the reasons I am keeping it)
My old pond just has rain water in it, bit cloudy, but clean filters will sort that out
