I think, if we were to have any problems of this ilk..it would be Badgers. Hopefully they will stay in the woods. But once the builders have gone…who knows?

 

Sorry, Ange even!!!!! ☺️

Such a beautiful little fellow! Bet you're over the moon to see him!

 

Thanks Ange 🤗 x

 

Bold and bright does it for me Spritz - I love all the rich colours of marigolds- nasturtiums - -poppies etc which includes all the self setters cant wait to see the new combinations of colour in my borders .

On blog - OF = orange.

 

I do hope the camellia comes along Klahanie. I can imagine these two would try your patience!

 

You would hardly think he was real Klahanie, such a tiny little fellow.

 

That does look a pretty corner to coffee and chat. Very inviting!

 

Gosh my tulips (what there are) are really far behind.

Hasn't it done so well. I was looking at Orange Dream yesterday....wondering, shall I ..:))

 

A lovely colour.

 

It really is lovely, and so many bushes to clip. Do you manage to do them Julia, or your new gardener?

 

Just beautiful, what have you fleeced up there Julia?

 

Such a pretty view Julia, love the long shadows!

 

Yes Shirley, it is. I love my garden, but I don't always choose the right place for the plants.... but I fathom it out in the end.....LOL!

Ditto.

 

This is a very common variety here in San Diego. I have an old one I just cut the top, as it had a 6 ft stem. There’s Philodendrons with pink, white, yellow and orange variegated leaves here. The variegated ones are extremely expensive. It’s a worldwide craze right now.

 

Pretty Eve, enjoying the sun. Yes Kate it has been a chilly afternoon.

 

So sweet! Love it.

lol! That’s funny Klahanie!

 

I’m not planning to cloud prune it as much …more train the branches horizontally.

lol, thanks Kate!

 

I know, they are wonderful aren’t they? I also have an A. Griseum.

 

Yes, Chocolate Vine Shirley, but the burgundy form. Me too Ange. Thanks Kate. A few more weeks and it will be planted.

I can’t wait to share it with you Kate! Thank you x

 

Thanks Rose, Ange and Kate. I know exactly where all the plants are going. Some in the gravel paths, some in the beds (there will be four decent sized beds) and some will stay in pots for as long as I am around. I am so excited to tell you that the landscapers are booked for 8thApril!

Kate, I appriciate your comment, thank you

 

Thank you! It will go on my list! I had my hair cut short last week and I’m really feeling the cold!

 

Looks lovely Spritz...

On blog - OF = orange.

 

You are right Kate! And I am enjoying all the cats!

 

Thanks Sheila. Yes, it’s a great evergreen for sunshine.

You do have a lovely mature garden, so many pretty flowers bravely blooming in this chilly weather. Love the new pots too.

Definitely Champagne Moment for me.

On blog - Some of my roses.

 

Kate, I was determined to get out there in the sunshine as it rarely appears these days!
The Primroses have really taken to being split and re-planted, it was a bit of a gamble but has paid off.
The Camelia from Aunty Joan had only ever lived in a pot, plus I don't have the space for it in the garden.

 

Right plant ... right place!

I can see why newcomers would think that.

 

Thanks Kate ... long may it thrive!

 

Shirley, looks like you definitely had a smashing day out in the Spring sunshine! You've a very pretty pastel palette there. Sorry, that's a mouthful!
I do like the way you've planted at the base of the tree. I love seeing underplanting like this.your leaves on shrubs and trees are bursting out, lots of healthy looking new growth there. I love your sunny tulips. I do hope I see some more here. But, I think that ship, or slug, has sailed.
Your camellia is a vivid pinkness of perfection. It's interesting hearing your thoughts on potted Camellias. I had 2 in the ground, as both perished due to our soil. Gives me food for thought.

 

What a beautiful combination of colour - zingy orange and that rich velvet purple!

On blog - OF = orange.

 

It’s a pretty perfect bloom!

 

They are beautiful, despite their eating preferences, Klahanie! I’m pleased to hear your camellia is showing healthy growth, especially as it’s a favourite.

 

Looks so pretty, Shirley!

Be good to see your project later on, Karen..I find ‘cloud pruning’ very therapeutic.

Keeping everything crossed 🤞

 

Me too, I agree with Janey. It’s a tree/plant that actually survives my front and back garden! :-))

 

Looks pretty healthy all the the same.
