Helofadigger's Outbox

Thanx guys for your kind comments, this chair matches my funky chimney pots which much to my hubby's dismay are painted in the same style. ;0)

I'm sure the chair will look better with a nice trailing plant in it don't you think so too?Hel.xxx.

I must confess the dahlia is my favourite flower nothing compares to their beauty ok maybe the Clematis Montana in May but that's it! ;o)

Nothing gives me such a buzz as collecting my own dahlia seeds and my goodness its so easy why bother raising your tubers each year collect the seed and give that a go...if I can do it anyone can swap seeds and you'll make your friends happy too.Hel.xxx

Very pretty.Hel.xxx.

I just love these Dahlias what a stunner.Hel.xxx.

Lovely.Hel.xxx.

Stunning!Hel.xxx.

Very nice and so tidy too.Hel.xxx.

Good times! ;0) Hel.xxx.

Cute ;0) Hel.xxx.

Very dramatic Kath it's wonderful..Hel.xxxx.

Oh my goodness this is so funky I just love it although I'm sure I would get lost trying to figure out how to get in and then out again! Hel.xxx.

Gardens should have loads of fun things in them just like this, I think it's pretty cool! :o) Hel.xxx.

One of my favourite plants of all time are the Dianthus family and this one is a very pretty flower.Hel.xxx.

A very cute and oh so sweet fur baby.Hel.xxx.

Thank you Ducky, Blodyn and Sandra.

Blodyn there were two plots going spare on our site both next to out plots, nobody is willing to take on a plot that hasn't been 'worked' for 2 years never mind 25 years plus which is the case with these spare plots.

We have got a 'deal' with this new plot we only have to pay water rates of £5 for the first two years and then after this a very reduced rental but as each plot is only £8 per year we are not talking about a great deal of money.Hel.xxx.

I do love the flowers on these plants so simple yet such a pretty colour. I have the big variety but it's such a brute I'm trying to dig the whole lot out of our gardens at the moment.Hel.xxx.

Well done Brinleym I have made one out of water pipe but would never have thought about electrical trunking so thanks for sharing the information not to mention the great snaps too.;o) Hel.xxx.

A real poser if there ever was one he looks so cool! ;o) Hel.xxx.

Does look like your force feeding paid off Mike, mine do pretty well but I honestly don't feed them but maybe I should try it.Hel.xxx.

A plain but still handsome hosta and so big too! Hel.xxx.

Mike all your hostas look uneaten how do you do it? Hel.xxx.

I do so like the blue hostas strange I haven't got one in our gardens must get round to getting at least one.Hel.xxx.

My goodness thats a lovely bunch of hostas I do hope the slugs don't find them.Hel.xxx.

My goodness this brings back so many memories for me. When I was a young girl in the 70's I used to go horse riding at Normanbay Hall one of the riding instructors had a hook for a hand and when I first started riding I was forever falling off so he was forever picking me up by hooking me in the back of my trousers to put me back on the horse! I did get better though! ;0) Hel.xxx.

Looks like a little cut was all it needed Mike as it looks wonderful now.Hel.xxx.

Very pretty indeed.Hel.xxx.

I do like grasses and have quite a few in my back garden, at the moment I'm trying to resist the temptation of putting them in our front garden I failed with the side garden the grasses have already slipped into that!Hel.xxx.

I also have a cute orange Geum it appeared lost in one part of my garden so I moved it last year and it's a real show stopper now! Hel.xxx.

I do like this I wonder if you collected it's seed would the new plants come true? Worth a go I think.Hel.xxx.

Great pictures I'm sure you and your sister had a lovely day there, nothing better than drooling over plants or gardens my idea of heaven.Hel.xxx.
