    Happy new year marion image so lovely to see colour in your garden! 

    I have daisies at the allotment today. My contribution to green Bristol today is cooking my beef in the slow cooker rather than gas oven lol. All the veg other than the spuds are homegrown- I have brocolli, cabbage, spinach and kale

     

    I really  don't like what the council did to the suspension bridge last night, it looked awful image in its 150th year, I'm sure they could have come up with better than that!

    Agreed, Fruitcake.  I shrieked - all that electricity, what a waste - at the TV screen  It was supposed to advertise our Green Capital of Europe year but did the opposite!!!  I am sure they could grow salads somewhere along the Bridge!

    I only joined half way through your garden thread last year Marion but I enjoyed reading it and hope to keep up with this one. Thanks for taking the time to write about what you are doing. image

    Lovely piccy's Marion, could you pease tell me..... the little round silvery leaf, just below the white hebe,  is it ...Jack Frost, I cant think of the name !

    Is it usually evergreen, I would like to buy some of those, very striking.

    Is that a toy boat amongst the Broom?, meant to ask the other day.

    That little round silvery leaf is Cyclamen coum You can just see two pink flowers coming  The toy boat plus fishermen's glass floats and big shells are my token to a "Shipshape and Bristol Fashion" garden.  It is over 40 years old and was sailed in my three lily ponds by my four sons.  Recycling of course is a big part of Bristol's Green Capital of Europe Year.

    Of course it is, silly me, Nutcutlet is going to send some of those to me, they are lovely.

    I guessed the little boat was from your children, very sweet, thank you for replying.
