I know :eek:But they are gorgeous. You should sweet talk LadybirdI think I'll stick to looking at the pictures (for a while yet anyway)

I know it's wrong to laugh at others misfortunes but it was worth all your effort just to see your graemlin LOL

Spot on Pete and Ladybird with the crinondendron.. It gets quite cold up here in the winter but shrub is well established and gives a marvellous display every May. My next post was going to be how do I chop it down. It is now about 20ft high and 10ft wide and has outgrown its little corner. I...

The dodgy looking fella is Titan my shepherd boy. I bought him with some money refunded from a Titan holiday that was disappointing. He looks great with snow on his hat.

:D

I agree with what you are saying fran, but at this time of year the very old leaves from last winter can look terrible at this time of year. I have found no harm has come by removing these, as you still have the growth they put on after flowering & very soon the new shoots will start to appear...

Lovely pictures Petal, despite the rain, looks you had a good time. Thanks for sharing

Hi All Sorry I have not been involved much here over the summer.I have neglected you all and my garden. I ended up doing a critical care course.With limited computer skills and not a great deal of experience with acute patients I have been stressed out. I am now back in the land of living and...

Your right Pete, gonna forget, so will just note that all seeds of all tropicals will need to be harvested - just one knot :D

Just a thought, but we have had a lot of insects in the photo comps. I know they are difficult to capture and really good when you get it just right but its not easy for those of us that have trouble with close-ups or perhaps live in a flat or city.

Hi AquaI am a newbie and have been looking through some posts and found yours. I love your yard. It's so productive! I'm hoping to the same with our back garden as we are renting this place so growing in pots are ideal.I have the same kind of greenhouse you have and my plants get attacked...

Lovely pictures Petal it has been added to my "must visit" list.Fran

Well done Nathan. It was a gorgeous photo that had everything.

Not sure this is the place to begin, but we have been here 10 years this month. The roof is flat so not so precarious. I should add that when we came here 90 percent of the land was head high in brambles etc. All the garden parts you can see,apart from mature trees and buildings, we have done.

Well have a nice time.

dalbuie, unwins 'tokyo hot' I've just read the instructions and they are mostly suitable for greenhouse I've got mine outside in a walled garden. I think I've messed up [82 deg today]

suedobie:I think yours are Horse Mushooms whereas these are Field Mushrooms but please - don't take my word for it!Also spotted some Shaggy Manes: Coprinus comatus which I believe might be OK although I've never tried them

What a project you've got on your hands! I wish you all the very best with it and thank you for 'inviting' us in!

That wil be the subject then 'Weather' .I will start the thread later, get snapping .Nathan.
