  • :D I would like the energy that I had when younger to do my garden,
    i would love a rill running through the garden and no bindweed or ground elder would be good.

    I'm lucky enough to have Wildedges 'series of ponds connected by a stream', though we filled in the middle one as there is not enough water coming down to support all that surface area in the summer months. Don't swim in the big one though as the ducks do and a mouthful of water could easily be fatal!
    I'd love a mature wisteria along the back of the house and someone who's better than me on ladders to prune it for me!
    But at the moment my deep and heartfelt wish is for the three renegade sheep who started vaulting perfectly good sheep fencing earlier this year to stop doing it and stop eating all my plants and wrecking all my shrubs and trees. Yesterday they trashed the potato patch. Potato leaves are supposed to be poisonous - WHY AREN'T THEY DEAD?
    PS (wee small voice) they're my sheep!

    I would love to have a Blue Jacaranda Tree (Jacaranda mimosaefolia), 
     a flame tree (Delonix regia) & unlimited beautiful flowering trees from around the world! I could in theory at least have a Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) but wouldn't want to wait for 10 years for it to flower!

    Josusa, are you suggesting that once past 59, one can't appreciate 'fitness' whatever the gender?
    My lascivious comment was also gender neutral. ;)


    Far from it, I'm 66.  They say certain appetites diminish with age, but I'm still waiting.

    Walls instead of fences made of old bricks to match the house. 
    Along the back wall I would like pleached hornbeam to stop us being overlooked.
    Space to put a few raised beds to grow some veg and cutting flowers.
