I hope she'll be okay.

Thanks. Yes indeed.

So far I've never had a problem with all the various jabs I've had over the years.
I hope you're okay, and enjoy tomorrow.

I had both covid and flu vaccinations at the local pharmacy this morning. Glad to be home for a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits.

Hello. It looks like being overcast here all day. Thanks, and you too.

Mike Rogers @sofaflyer.bsky.social · 17h

Oh dear, it seems somewhat misnamed nowadays.

Mike Rogers @sofaflyer.bsky.social · 18h

Thanks, but like most suppliers tomatoes, and other vegetables, are listed as such not by the latin name, unlike flowers.

Mike Rogers @sofaflyer.bsky.social · 18h

Good suggestion but it's not listed on the website at present. It was until they sold out then removed. If they get new stock it will reappear. Meantime I'll buy it on ebay for the same price and free postage.

I've just done a search for Tomato Red Robin, sorted by relevance, on a UK seed suppliers website and got 41 results none of which are relevant...

I’ve been plotting…

every day so far this week and would have been mostly clearing the flower patches. However the cosmos and pot marigolds are still flowering profusely and there also plenty of buds visible as well.…
