Gardening Grandma - hello agai
Mrs Garden - like your greenhouse, bulb planter sound as it is a good one works
Woodgreen Wonderboy - how is your grass did you get your autumn food?
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 arrived 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
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.
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.
saw one in GC today for ??12 !!!! Poor mug who buys it. Mine goes next door too.good job got good neighbours. To be honest, after 12 years in our house this is the first time its been a problem.

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

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.
