jojoe, your DGD is so cute.

Lynn, coming back from wal-mart and buying me "another" strawberry pot,i heard a song on the radio and it came to me.The problem with you not getting any babies,you were singing "you are my sunshine" your making your plant think it's to young you need to be singing 'ANGEL' by Shaggy!! If you don't know what song i'm talking about go to youtube.I wasn't very old then but i remember my mom singing it all the time and she didn't have no problem,i have siblings!!!

I remember that song.

Greg, thru hynopsis, (and 3 first-born chicks of your largest Purple Semp ) I think I can forget the exact date and time of the posting of pink hair...

I better go bookmark that post. it was the 1st. time i had seen it.

Yes Kate bring on the pics please

It rained all day yesterday and we're in for another wet day today. I'm hopping mad lol I hate seeing it all left in such a mess, but there's not much I can do about it. I also noticed that one of my new semps needs a bit of tcl, the under leaves are mushy and need removing, but I can't even do that! We've had a couple of weeks with no rain what so ever. The minute I take a couple of days off work to garden, it POURS

That is so frustrating Kate. Hoping you get some nice weather before you have to go back to work.

Thanks Chris, I'm actually shower dodging right now. Yes the ground is like a swamp, and yes, I'm not actually achieving a great deal, but at least I'm outside doing something and that makes me feel a bit better. Even if I'm going to have to re-do most of it when its dry again lol. That is probably enough to make me officially nuts lol.

Kate, yes at least you are staying busy

Now I don't feel so alone. Earlier this week I was out dodging the rain. When do they say it should clear up?

Oh, once you become a sempaholic, you are officially nuts.
It's a lovely conditions to be in.

not sure, the forecast only goes as far as next Friday, and it's wet every day up until then

Although after digging in the soil after just a few days rain I'm a bit concerned as to how my semps will cope, even with a good amount of grit dug in. It's very, very wet and sticky out there, I suspect that they wont be too happy.

Maybe you could add some compost to the soil? That would help to break up the clay. That's what I have to do here.

Yep Lynn me too! Lots of compost or I've added potting soil, which I know is very expensive but it gave me the type of soil I wanted without having to wait for compost to do its thing!!
Kate sending sunshine your way!! We just began clearing up this morning, and it seems like its going to be warm and nice!
