Hello - did I mention I wasn't at work this week? I believe some of you didn't know...
Ok - I'll chuck that now before you all get annoyed with me
Mr Toast has a thread about renovating his new garden lily - keep up love!
Been outside all day apart from making cups of tea and lunch. Older fairylet has helped me with post -putting- in and painting, and she also made the dinner which is almost ready. Need a new drill- need new wrists as well...
Lesley - glad you had a good day and there'll be more cake - someone has a birthday today and I booked my piece before Verdi got his hands on it all.
I could give you some Lime Marmalade if you want. I've lifted mine, split them and repotted, plus replanted one elsewhere, but they just seem to get rust on them even when I've cut them back to encourage new foliage. Within a week or two they're all spotty again whereas Alabama Sunrise looks great and they were next to each other. Good bright colour but...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
...........I 'm not keen on yellowy heucheras, I think they look ill and I agree with Fairy about the lettuce like one. But I like ordinary green ones with pink or red flowers and I like dark red ones.
I'm not usually keen on yellow leaved plants, but I had to find something that would be happy in some shade and that son could differentiate from green alkanet and other likely inhabitants of his border. When he was a lot younger he proudly told me that he'd put the dead potato stalks on Daddy's bonfire .............. so why was it I couldn't fine the newly planted black currant plants
If I'd got him those green ones I can quite see that he may have eaten them with some steak and vinaigrette
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Bekkie, Hollybush is no good for suntan lotion and insect repellant. All shopping done now, just packing to sort out. Had a lovely day with 1 yr old granddaughter, shes really cute at the moment, just starting to talk, even if most of it is gobbaldygook. I am shattered though and I expect she'll want a cuddle in the middle of the night so I wont be late to bed.
Evening, after a lovely day planting my terrace garden. Grasses around the trees, alpines in the new troughs and ferns in a bed with log piles. A most satisfying experience after all the planning, and replacing an increasingly troublesome and disappointing bed of old roses, weedy irises, geraniums, helianthemums etc.etc. ( salvaged quite a lot to replant elsewhere, give away or sell at the Spring plant sale.
Sitting there in the shade of the trees, looking over my paddock,........

The yellow phormium will be lovely Dove. That one I have has nice red veining so works well with other foliage which has red tints.
Hope son enjoys his garden.
