I feel I have to post after reading various comments over the past month or so. There seem to be some very heated exchanges on here and the tone of the forum seems to be getting quite dark. Let’s just remember why we are here, to support one another, not blame and pick fights or use bad language. It could be that lockdown is getting to people but let’s just calm things down. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and enjoys the good weather. Alex

Alf, I finished planting up my little greenhouse this afternoon 6 Q's 4 of 1 type , 2 of another and about 8-10 different types of toms, including Moneymaker and Tumbling toms. All I have to do now is say a prayer that all will come to fruition and share the spoils. I am as proud as punch so I will keep you informed of my progress.

Have a good evening

All my best wishes

Paderico

You've been busy :-)

It's going to be good weather next week for your toms and cues. I've got plenty of fruits in tubs and redcurrants by accident in the hedge at the bottom of the garden :-) :-)

Home grown toms are so much nicer than the tasteless supermarket ones . Not been able to get any tom plants as yet due to lockdown, will be too late soon :-(

You have a good evening too

All the best to you.

Alf

alfredthegreat in reply toPaderico

It was growing in the garden. I thought it was the normal flowering currant so I put it into a hedge with some lilacs :-) :-) :-)

Alf

Have you ever grown Tom's in pots in doors?

Moneymaker - that was always a fav of my Dad. I’ve recently moved, have no greenhouse but just got raised beds. Planted some toms etc and cant wait to see what happens. In Normandy so weather slightly better than the U.K. Very, very windy though today. The brassicas were all leaning!

alfredthegreat profile image
alfredthegreat in reply toIsabelle2

Very windy here too. It bashed a few plants down today.

The first toms I ever grew, donkeys years ago, were Moneymaker. Very easy to grow and an abundant crop too :-) :-)

Hi again Alf,

I was out earlier pottering around. I reckon a couple of weeks ago I planted my beetroot not near my carrots but on top of them 😯🤭😂

Hey ho

Izzy

in reply toPaderico

Well done Paderico😊 Hubby planted 24 of the 48 Snap Dragons yesterday plus a further 48 on order 🤣 as I'm instructed to rest at present 👎still cooking though😅

ShropshireLass1772, good morning, O I see !!!! you are the supervisor and hubby is the ground-worker, sounds a good little number 2 me. and gosh you will have so many beautiful blooms, lucky old you. I look forward to seeing a photo of the garden when the flowers are out. I hope you have a good day, all my very best wishes spk soon. and rest if that is what the doctor ordered.

Regards

Paderico.

in reply toPaderico

Hey Paderico on this occasion hubby was the ground worker but some days we do work in the garden together! In answer to your question re garden photo's when in bloom, these I normally load onto my Facebook page with you can find me under Trish Harris-McNee . This is not hidden from others because I'm already known for a maddening sky dive I did a couple of months ago to raise funds for BLT and the QE Hospital. If your on FB send me invite ! In the meantime take care .

Oh before I go if you do view my FB its currently full of stories / posters for sharing about my daughters missing Bengal cat called Indy who's been missing for 3 weeks along with 2 others pedigree cats snatched from the same beautiful village of Shackerston which is situated on the borders of Warkshire and Leicestershire and 4 miles from the town of Market Bosworth!

This is an extremly upsetting situation right now and all sorts of media including the police the vets pet store's, supermarkets, FB friends are sharing her different daily appeal posters !

So any pedigree cats lovers on here be aware that cat crime is on the increase!! 3 cats from.one village on the same day!!!!

Love Trish xxx

I agree also. Used to love reading this page as felt it was all very supportive and informative but the tone seems to have changed in that its like being on social media where it seems people are looking for argument most of the time. It's hard enough having liver issues without everybody nitpicking and being unkind. Sorry for sticking my oar in where its probably not wanted 😳

in reply tomattymoo33

Hi Matty

Didn't we discuss the water rafting by PM a couple of days ago when I mentioned checking if Owlies still joining us or did I dream the whole thing 😅 ? Will check PM's !

I'm definately up for it! So bring it on 🚤🛶🌊 sorry no raft ....

Well done. You little beauty. You cut to the chase xxx

Anyway guys joking aside and to be a bit of a party poo pa, how are you all really keeping as none of you are talking these days about how your health is, future hospital appointments, operations, medications, GP visits , loneliness , depression or how each of us is keeping in general !

Are we not here to also support one an other ? When I joined this forum we used to chat about everything which included our usual banter which was/is a great mixture😊👍

Here's my update ! Sorry Owlie for this message on your thread but some of the kind caring members are here!'

Today I received Negative result for Covid19! 😳

My current left lung infection with additional symptoms now seems to be under control due to the 1000mg of antibiotics I'm taking 3 times a day!

Tomorrow I shall be writing an email to my hepatologiest informing her of this current lung infection ! I'm doing this because most of you know I have an unknown autoimmune disease that flares up from out of the blue raising my LFT's to that of a concern to my GP and hepatologiest! At my last appointment my consultants suspicion pointed to me possibly having Sarcoid which is an inflammatory disease that travels around the body normally affecting the lungs and other organs by leaving granulomtous nodules, so I'm now wondering whether not feeling well since February and this lung infection could possibly be Sarcoid symptomatic?

Tuesday I have my first routine full bloods and LFT's tests now being carried out at my medical practice instead of the hospital.

My concerns are whether the large amounts of antibiotics in my system will they highlight this infection or disguise the LFT's and full blood tests as normal ?

Well this is all from Trishy who's signing off! Nighty nite !: Hope everything going in the right direction for you all 💕

I really hope you feel better after knowing you've had your bloods done. I know I always do... although it's a bit like watching Dr.Who from between your fingers...you don't want to know what is going to happen, but can't stop looking!!
