Got a pre formed pond liner from the pond place next door -ready for the pond area lots to be done to get it into the ground first

    Good to see you Gardening Grandma ! Pop in and say hello from time to time. Glad your garden is being appreciated - pics you have posted on here have always screamed "cottage" to me - lovely.



    Mrs G - lovely to see GH and glad bulb planter has arrivedimage GArdengirl, hope that arm is better soon.



    Some very sad work tales - seems a common theme unfortunately. I am lucky - i love my job - but i learnt a long time ago that work colleagues are exactly that - very few of them are true friends when you no longer have the daily contact and work things in common. Thats why i cherish my real friends and family.



    OH has been busy creating me gifts for the garden (give a man a welding machine and its amazing what results). If it doesn't rain tomorrow i will proudly post pics imageimage

    Lily - there are some stunning trees for autumn colour in GC's at the moment - check out amelanchier, golden maple, liquidamber as well as the acers (osakasuki is great). You don't have to buy now, but you can make a note of the names of the colours you like best.

    sgl,some of the cornus are beautifully coloured and not to big.

    and Euonymus alata

    I was trying to think around the garden to see what's there and colouring up. But my brains gone dead, might be the wine.

    I was just about to suggest that Euonymous nut! There's a few Sumach round here and they are beautiful - no doubt about it. Amelanchier is pretty at this time of year too.

    That sounds very interesting chicky! Is it an obelisk of some sort?

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    MrsGarden, yes we still get suckers. H dug it out, and he's a man on a mission with a spade / grafter he has dug old apple tree roots out / conifers / privet etc...axe on the job with 2 sycamores. We thought we'd got every bit of this ( I was on the soil sifting and inspection job) but apparantly not. It had only been in garden 3 yrs and was only 4' high. Lovely as it was I'm glad we took action.
