Summer pansies

[runnerbean]

Hi LJ, haven't been on for a while, been travelling all over the place, but my feet are staying still for a while, maybe do a little gardening this year, how soon can I put out summer pansies please?

[Lesley Jay]

Hi Runnerbean!! It's really great to see you back again!!

I guess that summer pansies are bedding plants so if they are you will need to wait until after the last spring frost. I'm trying to work out where and how I can keep my bedding plants frost free now that my greenhouse has been dismantled.............

[runnerbean]

Thanks LJ, I have a permanent greenhouse and a plastic one thats goes up each April to house all my fuchia in, thus leaving me room in the main one to do my seeds etc., why have you dismantled yours? We have a new puppy now black Mini Schnauzer aged 6 months called Alfie, Bobby passed away last year, aged 12 and 1/2.

Alfie loves gardening, he has his own trowel, garden brush and he even tries to take the hose of me to help me water the garden, and he is top notch at pruning he pruned my mini roses right down to about 2 inches. What a good boy he is!!!!!

[Lesley Jay]

Oh, Runnerbean! Alfie sounds really great!!

Our house is on the market and Les insisted that nobody would want a greenhouse in the garden, that it wasn't child friendly etc. etc...........until in the end I gave up and he dismantled it. It's coming with me when we move though!

And so it should, Lesley, you are taking the rest of your gardening so the greenhouse should go too.

But...........if he can't put it back together (there is a bucket of nuts and bolts ) then I am buying a brand new one!!

So where are you are you planning to move to, is it far from where you are now, gosh I have done that 3 times and it is so stressfull. good luck with the move, but do make time to chill out as well!

Hi Runnerbean, we are looking at moving to Wales or Anglesey because I love the sea. As for being stressful - you're not kidding!

[DavidT]

Lesley take my word for it Wales IS NOT stressful, we are really chilled. In fact we are SO chilled I`m flipping freezing. Well, my feet are.

Which is the reason why we want to move there!! Not for the cold feet though!

I suppose it could be bad circulation on my part. Never been to north Wales but if the people up there are as friendly as us down south, you will be alright.

They get a lot of Snow LJ, my friend who lives in North Wales has been in the white stuff for months, all they did was dig themselves asmd their guests out, they run a Hotel. Brrrrrrrrrrrr
P.S and your plants will have chilly feet living there.

Ohhh, Runnerbean...........my two favourite elements are the sea and snow - I will absolutely love living there!
