    Is that a pressure cooker? Truly wonderous!

    How big was the ivy???? image

    P.S. found the barbecue that we hadn't used for about three years was in surprisingly good condition. That's it under the mail bag.

    It's powerful big!

    No it's a casserole thing but the lid broke. I turn it upsidedown to put a container on when the plants get too traily

    I'll have that good chair if it's going for my gang hut or has it got plants on it too? image

    The wicker one had been inside, but I left it outside to die. It's still sitonable though. I think the plant used to be a hydrangea petiolaris. Kept meaning to salvage the pot. No excuse now.

    I think I have a petiolaris but in the two years I've been in this house it hasn't grown an inch. It's about 4ft high. Bright shiny green leaves and masses of flowers (like yours a bit only not). I thought they grew like triffids.

    I was talking about the dead stump. I hope yours isn't like that!

    It belonged to someone who was moving house and she asked me to look after it until she had the chance to reclaim it. Years passed and I knew it needed planting in the ground but I didn't like to as it wasn't mine. One day it upped and died.

    Lovely isn't it Lantana? image Took ages that did. Most of an afternoon. image 

    I was wondering where you were. I just assume everyone's on holiday at this time of year.

    Have been hoiking out shrubs and perennials but in a GoS way i.e. pulling out above ground and the main tap root, or whatever it's called, leaving the surrounding roots and then interplanting so to speak.
