Fantastic. I can't wait for mine to be ready! It won't be anywhere near that size, but it is growing nicely - a few more sunny, hot days, and I...
I spotted something tonight at dusk when I was putting the quail to bed. Hidden in the back of my border is a single dark brown stem, about 8...
Yet another gorgeous day today. Out and about with mum and the kids all morning, but I managed to spend the afternoon in the garden. Edged and...
Thanks for your kind words. Mark visited his nan tonight, and he said she is the picture of health. By far the chirpiest person in the ward,...
Busy busy Capt. It is good to start getting jobs done in the garden again, no matter how hard, but I think after we have all had the winter off,...
But, at the weekend, Marks Nan took a tumble down her stairs and is now in hospital and has received a partial hip replacement. She suffers from...
I agree on the Magnolia, but again, no idea on variety, and even googling it didn't help! Palustrus is pretty good with id's also, maybe he will...
Thanks Bunkie. The pink flower is a primula that I grew from seed. I am a sucker for a seed pod, and they grow easily from seed so have alsorts...
Well sjoerd, that was the idea of the box Mark built, not that they go in it. They have adopted an area under the greenhouse staging as their...
If I could bundle some up and send to you both, I would in a jiffy. I am sitting here drinking a quick coffee, listening to all the birds. They...
Now that is a very pretty plant indeed. May have to find a spot in my garden for one. :)
Eeek, landscapers like that give us jobbing gardeners a bad name. I agree with Droopy and Toni, I have seen people who have them in their lawns...
It is stunning today. Blue sky as far as the eye can see, no clouds, a light breeze. Just beeeeeeeeeeutiful. Now the gas man has been, and I...
Well, thanks to Tony at British Gas, we now have heating again. A new fan, motor and wiring system, all done. Fingers crossed we have no more...
I simply adore the iris. So lovely to see such a blast of colour from those crocus, mine have now all finished :( . Spring at last.
All I can say is, I am jolly glad here in Essex, we don't have the cold and snow that Eileen is currently suffering with. Once again, we have no...
Glad you like them as much as me. My girls. Honestly, I wonder what the neighbours think as when I get to the end of the garden, I have to greet...
I think it was Ceratonia who sent it. I knew deep down it was one of your off-spring. :) Excellent news on the chance of flowers this year....
I was sent a tree peony several years ago, I think by Palustrus' daughter...I think. Anyhow, it has grown happily in the garden, and once again,...
Inspired by all of your lovely comments, here are a few snapshots of my seedlings. Everything is still small, apart from the cheat salads I...
