    Logan. Lovely?

    Liro I do I aide the walled garden. Get help when needed. Eg organised for box hedge to be cut, it has to be done by hand and my back can't cope any more!!!

    my other half does most of the front woods and we charge the orchard. Each Sat one of the original landscape team comes to help and we have a n other who comes in when needed.  

    OH retired early ( told he wouldn't make it to 60)and swapped his computer for a tractor , changed his llife for the better and is still very much here!!!!!

    Lovely Logan. Do you not get any problems with 'undesirables' pulling flowers off etc? image

    It's what's put me off doing anything too ornate with my boundary here. image

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

    That's good to hear Logan. It would be horrible if your hard work was spoiled.

    Some people get a kick out of 'destruction' don't they? image

    I grow a clematis through a pyracantha at the wall near a bus stop used by school kids so h--ll mend any blighters who try to pull off the flowers.

    A woman after my own heart Joyce...I have pyracantha growing on the boundary fence, carefully positioned and poked through to the outside,  where there's a 'Postman's box and a cable box, both used by local brats as 'seats', using my fence as a ladder for access....image

    Not any more....image
