    Chicky I've had a few over the years, I liked the yellow / orange berried ones best, birds didn't scoff them quite as fast. I've still got a couple of bog standard red ones. In there for a purpose. I prefer Escallonia to pyracantha.

    Painted all my life Verdun - that's what I am - a painter - even when I have no time to paint - it's the part of me that is always alive - I'm always seeing things as a painter does, watching out for line, form and colour - the same things that a gardener watches out for, but in a different way.  image

    Oh KEF - what a shame about your dinner. Now is probably not the time to mention that yesterday i spotted (and bought x3 image ) the C*****%#^ malteser offering - shaped like a reindeer and very yummy!



    Verdun - the thorns are what makes it deer proof ! Will keep a eye on any visiting toddlers though.

    Evening all

    had to go back into garden after a break in the rain planted out more stock plug plants, aster blue dwarf, a abutilon canary bird yellow plant and a red schizostylis major - that lily thing simular that you got chicky but red one really nice colour a this time of year

    Sorted bit of pond area out earlier clearing out old liner in bits - some of the trees have rooted well into it all and bits of old carpet and lots of dirt. trying to sort it all out as a pond again with a pre made liner, lots of effort for that trying to pull it all out and clear it not been a pond for a few years as it leaked

    Glad to hear the visitors have gone Verdun - hopefully I will get down there in a couple of weeks. Daughter starts her next course of treatment on Thursday, so OH and I need to be around for 4 or 5 days, looking after her and the two little 'uns - looking forward to a break back home!

    Gardengirl - my lily thing was "major" variety too - Snap !! Nearly chose one called Jennifer, but Major's flowers were prettier !!

    Dove if you hear a knock on the door it's me with my bowl...looks like crackers with reduced fat cheese for me. Or there's still 2 courgettes in the fridge tee blinking hee image

    Chicky I also forgot about the Bambi. Bet even they wouldn't like the gravy granules, I'll send them to you imageimage.  Bet that chap in Canada could ward off racoons with them.
