Oh! Whoooop's I dont mean the rest of us Ladies don't work hard in their gardens too in other parts of the country lol.

Ha! Ha!.... NO! I will let you keep your rubbish thanks, I have my own lol.
I will be re-placing all the big stones after I have dug and leavled the soil and put down the new weed supresser but not that black shiny woven one as I found the weeds grew through that type. At the moment the ground it too wet and may leave till the Spring now.
And Yes! Milky us Essex Girls do seem to work hard in our gardens lol I have never been a Lady of Leisure, I used to deliver car parts when I was working for a living and that was heavy work too.
And I too have a lot of pots and My Dad when he was alive used to say to my Mum Oh! Jackie and her pots lol.
I tried to add more pictures of how far I have got but it says they are too big and I'm not sure how to make them smaller.

I ended up putting my eucalyptus in the ground at the bottom of the garden after being in a pot for years and Wow! Did it grow big, so big we had to have it cut down as it was causing damage to my neighbours brickbuilt workshop, shame as they are a lovely tree for big open gardens.

Aaaaaaaah! My pet hate but a Good Picture, just keep it away from me please, Shiver! Shiver! Eeeeeek!
Jackie :-)

Yes! That is a Datura, I boughts some seed this year and grew them Ha! Flower reminded me of Bineweed and Yes! Very Poisonous I found out, have enjoyed the plant but will not grow it again, Oh! It will dye off in the winter but if you want to keep it going and you have a conservatory it will over winter in there.

Cedar Apple Rust I think and I think you can get a spray for it.
Good Luck with it.

Thank You Nicky.

Oh! Louise & Burgundy.
Thanks for your concern's about my back & the tip's, how nice of you, the spasm hurts around the lower part of my shoulder blade.
Burgundy should I exercise after my back is better or while it still hurts?

I have found out the Name "Oleander, I have put a better picture on here.
Jackie

Oh! Yes! That sure is a lovely white double Hollyhock you have there and what a Smasher it is too. I have yellow singles and they have blown about in the wind so as Mookins said, do stake them. Mine got leaf rust later though which they are known to do.

Hi. Thanks for the info, I went to Hyde Hall on Sunday Andrew and was impressed with what I saw also went in there Libary and took downs some names of some Dry Gardens Books one of which was by "Beth Chattos" Louise.
but they were closing so could'nt have a good look at the ref. books. I have hurt my back lifting a garden table, and it has gone into Muscle Spasm, silly me and I will go to the Libary as soon as I feel better.

Sorry! I will take a better picture and ask again.The shrub or bush has thin long leaves and I have seen it grow as hedges in Spain but as I seid I will take a closer picture.

Thank You for the advice, will wait for the grass to dry then away ai will go.

If you have a soldering iron you could use it to write the names on some wood and varnish them.
Just a thought.
Jackie from Essex :)

Sorry I'm not sure, what does the rest of the plant look like, I would like to see the leaves.

I would love to grow one of these outside in my garden but it is too cold in our country, we can have them as house plants but they always end up dying on me.

I have one in my kitchen, it is years old it used to be my Nans when she was alive, it is over 40yrs old now.
Jackie x

What a lovely job you have made of you little wheel barrow.

Nice mixture of plants you have there.

What a lovely blue, I would love a blue Hydranga but they always end up reverting to pink.
