I telephoned my Mum (Hollygate) and asked her if she would pop round to give me some advice on planting out conifers as I dont know much about them.This is the bed we planted out


On the left of the photo their WAS a tree>>>>>. And Mum said we need to CLIP that back a bit to let in the sunlight.The next thing is I am carrying loads of tree up to the bonfire while Mum is having a great time giving the tree a masive hair cut. Today I can hardly move. The gardeners back has struck again. So the next time Hollygate would like to CLIP something back I will make sure that my other half is at home to do the clearing up. LOL The bed is looking good Thank you Hollygate for your help

Now donnah you know that mother knows best - at least that's what I try to tell my sons. I think you've both done a brilliant job and I can imagine what it will look like when your plants have grown.
