Upcoming Events

I'm supposed to list upcoming events in the Moosey garden on this page. This should force me to be a better organised gardener, planning ahead, preparing properly for new gardening events.

What's Coming Up in June

Eek! June is almost halfway through. The winter solstice is in less than a week's time. What am I doing about it? Aargh! I have a few dizzy lists, but nothing much (mercifully for the wallet) to show for them yet...

Back From Holiday

I'm back from my short holiday in the USA and Canada with great memories and garden plans. And how I appreciate the little things about being home - my own bed, my cats, my piano, cycling around the block with the dog... Now all I need to do is remind myself I really love cold, wet, winter gardening!

Most Valuable Pet Competition

The Most Valuable Pet Competition rolls on, and the old original Gingerpuss is still in the lead. Please vote. I'm very sorry that four new Moosey cats (Histeria, Percy, Lilli-Puss, and Minimus the kitten) are not yet included in this silly competition. Perhaps my webmaster could find the time to update the animal roll!

Goodbye to the Hens

Sadly while I was away the poultry were killed by a rogue dog. So I'll be adding heaps of posthumous points for each hen - and double for my rooster. I miss having hens to look after...

What Plant Am I? Quiz

I've been busy enlarging the number of plants in this silly quiz. There are lots of new possibilities. You might end up being a plant in the famous Victorian glass-house at Kew, or (aargh!) a round spiky cactus, or a striking tropical orchid. That's as well as all those beautiful temperate plants already in the quiz. You've got quite a few more chances of being a pretty coloured dahlia.

More roses have been included - one can never have too many roses! And I've even popped in a few surprises - like pictures of the trailer full of compost, and a few garden gnomes! And there are some brand new questions for you to answer. Try the What Plant Am I? Competition out!

Moosey Newsletters

I really enjoy writing the Moosey Newsletters. This month's newsletter is full of USA arboretums and gardens - plus some thoughts on being back home. There's a subscribers list you can add your name to, if you're interested in receiving your own copy...

I now do the newsletter mail-out myself, so hopefully I won't get your names or addresses wrong, or send you a load of compost! The newsletters are on the site as well - you can download the latest by clicking on this newsletter link.

Moosey Gardening Forums

The Moosey Forums are always interesting, but we are now getting the occasional unwanted visitor. Humph! That's the price of popularity, I guess! Saturday afternoons are meant to be spent relaxing in the garden, not weeding things out of our forum! Have a peep and join us as we twitter on about our gardens. We've been visited by some lovely newcomers lately - maybe you'll visit too!

If you're registering in the forum you'll be shown some little thumbnails of cats and cars - and asked to select the cats. You may be amused, or even slightly annoyed by this, or simply puzzled. It's a tiny anti-spam trick, and if you have any trouble, let me know at once and I'll do the box-ticking business for you.

Cheers, and all the very best for what's left of June. I need to get those serious lists going!
