Good morning Tuesday

Saundra, they'll be fine in a tub but it will need to be a decent size one; the larger the pot the happier the plant. I have a few in the garden in tubs and one huge one that is in the ground - in the ground they can go quite big. If you put them into a tub then they do need feeding with ericaceous feed at least once a year.

And remember the blue vs pink depends on the acidity of the soil. Apparently if you put copper coins into the soil it'll keep the plant blue. I've never tried it though

Ho thanks ria I will get a big tub because I'm short of space as its all gravel. I knew about the copper and changing colour

Afternoon all

Bit overcast and dull here.

Glad your dad is improving Ally.
Jan hope the antibiotics help.
Hope you're feeling better soon Saundra.
Glad you're having a good time in London Osc.

The trip to Boots was a waste of time yesterday. Our prescriptions were due last Friday, but apparently due to an IT glitch they weren't requested. The pharmacist said he would do it again, but of course that probably means a wait of another 4 days or so. Luckily I do have enough BP meds to last till the end of the week, but unless they bring the next month's forward I'll have no buffer, so annoying.

We're planning to walk over to the garden centre later, it's a 4min walk away (10mins for me) and about as far as I can walk these days. I don't want to overdo it, but do want to move as much as possible. We'll probably have coffee and a toastie while we're there.

Have a good day
