Off to GC tomorrow to ask for advice! I think I know what they'll say but any excuse! The Acer drumondii I bought last year has some none variegated leaves coming through, one is even half variegated and half full green! Hope I don't encounter any stickiness while I'm there
I totally fell for the Choisya after GW! Been bugging me, had to have one, don't care that my back is broken! May do tomorrow! Dove deserves the help, she's the best Mum and cook to boot! I've even said I will do it again, so I will remember your tip about Pavlova's! So its one each right?
Evening! - Sounds like everyone's been very busy (especially Wonky - that Dove sounds a real task master!).
Have had a perfect day today and just wanted to say a huge thanks to whoever mentioned Larch Cottage Nurseries in Melkinthorpe on the forum some months ago - we are on our jollies so we made a special journey there today.
Fantastic nursery - excellent plants and gardens and lovely gift shop. Bought plants, bought presents, had excellent lunch in the restaurant then went for a drive through the very quietest NE corner of Cumbria. Lots of lambs, fabulous scenery, quiet roads and saw a red squirrel - first one in years.
Back to our caravan watching Chelsea Challenge with a G&T - (home grown) rhubarb crumble & cream to follow.
Doesn't get much better!
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Seeing the red squirrel was the highlight . Have loads of pesky greys at home digging holes in the lawn and 'planting' unwanted hazel & walnut trees everywhere but reds are just cute and gorgeous. I would love to have those in my garden

Verdun, of course that makes sense but the label said ericaceous
otherwise I would have bought it
