@Fire - no news. Last week I was called by the police, but basically to say that he couldn’t do anything until he’s contacted council. Asked if I had a number for the person dealing with it but I didn’t. So I gave the email address that i’d been using.
I then got an email from council on Thursday to say that:
The officer had contacted them - they arranged a phone call for Friday evening - but as officer was an emergency responder it would depend on if there was a 999 call.
Also - to please not go on that plot anymore as it needed to be left to the authorities. (I sincerely hope that he’s been told the same!!)
That was last I heard. But I know from when I contacted the police before that he won’t be back at work til today. So might hear something.
I went to the plot yesterday, everything was fine there, nothing bad had happened in the meantime. I did some tidying up and pruning fruit trees. Pruned and tied in the blackberry canes which felt very similar to what I’ve been doing in the garden with the roses. Peeked into pond, saw some little larvae.
I enjoyed it, apart from the few times that the offending plot came into view with my polytunnel on it.
I‘d hoped to see the couple I’d spoken to in order to get their number as witnesses because they were the ones who had spoken to that plot holder. But they weren’t there. If I keep going this week I’ll catch them eventually as they’re almost always there at the same times I go.
@Marlorena I have 2 Kordes roses which I had got late last season. Grafin Diana (Royal Perfuma) and Comtesse Marie-Henriette (Summer song). Royal perfuma had one bloom despite being small and Indoors (under lights) and it was among the best deep dark reds. Now these are kept outside and will update you with their progress. Other roses are new as well. I had them only for couple of months in bloom in the previous season. Those are: Desdemona, Poets Wife, Eustacia Vye, Emily Bronte, Boscobel, Double Delight, Scentimental, Blue eyes. New for this season (bare root planted during winter) are Munstead wood, Lady Emma Hamilton, Gabriel Oak, Rachel (Tangust), Well Being. Yesterday had ordered Princess Alexandra of Kent, Royal Jubilee, Twilight Zone and Chandos Beauty. Now I just have one of each and in pots. That is because I am staying at a rental place. Someday, hopefully, I will have a garden of my own.
@Marlorena, Excuse my ignorance, but could you explain your feeding references (Miracle Gro 7-3-5 Tom 4-3-8) I have recently planted some bare root roses and would love to give them the best possible care and attention. Thank you.
@Mr. Vine Eye Thank you. Had to be choosy coz its a small allotment. Theme was 'fragrance' more than anything. Disease resistance/ repeat flowering/ colour/ variations comes next.
Anyone had grown Lyda rose? Next in my wish list. It wont be available till April from Peter Beales.
@cooldoc2000 ...first of all, welcome to Roses.. great to see you here... you have a good selection, varied and interesting... looking forward to pics of those in due course..
I've not grown Lyda Rose but I think another member here has it, forgotten who though.. maybe @Victoria Sponge ??
