awwwwwwwww aw well, you enjoy newtogardening, its really lovely

When I had a bigger garden I used to let the nettles grow and then put them in the compost. I've never tried nettle tea though.

It is Blodyn, we're very lucky to be so near to it. Through this garden is a huge walled garden where they grow Victorian species of fruits, vegetables, two victorian greenhouses full of produce, and potting sheds etc which are kept like a museum. During school term time, the local children have a Victorian day in the hall, where they are either part of upstairs or downstairs and dressed in the clothing of the era. My granddaughter Chloe was so pleased when she was picked to be 'Lady Laura' for the day. It's well worth a visit.

I don't know about humming birds but I DO have a very early morning chorus through the open windows!!

Is this that nasty plant that everyone seems to be saying is a such a nuisance??? I thought it looked rather pretty threaded amongst the bright green mock bayleaves

lovely picture

nice spot to visit

Yes Lori, they're not pickled straightaway tho' but preserved in salt for a while. You have to then wash the salt away with wine vinegar - never water - and then store in wine vinegar. You can of course cheat and buy them already pickled ....

Id, just like to say, you are really, really, Lovely people on GOY, and thanks..Dee..

Yes you are right Lori. She was another stray hungry kitten who went into my son's open car as he was talking to friends - each time he pulled her out she'd jump straight back in. In the end he took her home and the rest is history ...

thanks andy and jill

Sorry folks, I made a mistake - this is not from my balcony but from the street below it - you can just about see the pomegranate and fir tree in the pots on the right. There are different colours each evening from this spot. I'm no great photographer (although I proudly say that I have recently taken the courage to learn about downloading and using card readers etc. grrr) but there are times, very early in the morning and at twilight, when you would like to press a pause button to immortalise soul stirring moments.

The only problem would be finding 500 yearold terracotta tiles!!

This is amazing - I agree with Philip's imagery

it was bought at a local gardening shop in essex for the pricely sum of £9.99 but unfortunatly guys it was a one off.
