  • Yes, Aym, i spent a few days with my family.

    I love your videos, i'll watch them with my son tomorrow. Since we've started feeding birds, he keeps telling me we need to get a special tree so the woodpeckers can come in our garden...

    I'm going to give a go at IDing... Orange coreopsis and a daisy- leucanthemum (hayloft have some with frilly centres called real glory and real galaxy)? Any good? Do i get any points? ?

    B3, lovely flowers!

    I laughed when reading about the artichokes... Yep, as a good frenchie, i've got several plants and i eat them. We had some  last night as a warm salad with potatoes, bacon, spring onions and parsley. Hours of prep (especially as i have to cut them in tiny pieces so hubby and little ones eat them...). I have green globe and violetta di choggia producing and gros vert de laon grown from seeds this year. I'll get rid of green globe if the new one tastes better...

    Aym280 Monty is 61. I had to go and look it up. I guessed 57 so he is looking good :-)

    I really like these Dahlias. The red and white is just simply amazing aym...and Runny...that red reminds me of deep red velvet. So rich.

    This is a close-up of one of my delphiniums.  Each flower is about 5cm across:

    I'm going to try and propagate it as it's in a stand of purple ones!

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
