Hi Staceydoc. I went to Knoll Gardens today, which is not far from here. A beautifully laid out garden, showing off the grasses the nursery specialises in. The owner claims to be the country's leading authority on grasses, and has 10 Chelsea golds to his name.
I decided to plant up my 2 new raised beds on the terrace, which encircle an ash tree and a silver birch, with grasses rather than the alpines which was my first plan. Carex Testacea around the Ash and Festuca Elijah Blue, the birch. I will put the alpines in the new troughs and sinks, perhaps with a grass or two, which will give me an excuse to go back to Knoll again. Hehe I don't think I have seen grasses used so imaginatively.
Hi everyone, well I had a fairly busy day, didn't get to the gym and didn't get in the garden much I was hoping the weather might be wrong for tomorrow, but it's not looking like it Oh well, I'll find a space in the GH and sow seeds.
I've decided that I have too much in my GH this year, those of you who are more gardening wise and have seen my pics will have known this, but I've only just worked it out ......durhhhhh
BL, your morning looked perfect. Lily, my friend who is a lady of leisure, what's stopping you having a horse now?
Right, I'm off for tonight, little man at a birthday sleepover and we promised big man we'd watch a film with him.....and I'm getting evil looks for not paying attention

Remember this?
Now it's
across the lawn
through the wax beans
and
through the raspberry canes and
nearly onto the terrace!!!!!!!
I think it might be a Klingon .............
