Oh, I'm so sorry, Yorkshire...not one of the lovely ones you've posted?

Oh no...that's one of the ones you posted the other week, isn't it? No wonder you're upset...do you think it will recover?

6 Aug, 2011

 

it looks good still, but half the size,

There's maybe just enough of the 'summer' season left for it to get bigger again...although looking at your photo and mine, the best of it may well be behind us...

Its lovely :~)

stands over 2ft tall, could'nt get it in the boot, put the top down on the car and the boss was worried it would damage the leather seats, so a neighbour went to the GC and collected it for us, the rain had ruined all the lobelia that's in it,

7 Aug, 2011

 

You got it for a bargain Yorks. It is quite big! Maybe the lobelia will bounce back or on the other hand it might not. Lol !!

Lovely stonework. Yes we had heavy rain last evening. Didn't last long though. I was watching on television, the triathletics in London and thoroughly enjoyed it, but the men had to compete in some awful heavy rain.

Thanks Terra. Mark we have a huge water butt and it was full in minutes, hit the Begonias hard and of course the Lobelia, how is my train coming along, you know the one you was giving to your Mother-in-law,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must've been on one of my travels when you posted this Yorkie...that pot looks cracking in the middle of your (very wet) patio. What did you decide to put in it in the finish..Ive forgotten!

17 Oct, 2011

 

I had something planted in it and can't remember whats its name, the boss has replanted it into a pot behind the gate now, will have to find something new for it next year,

18 Oct, 2011

 

How about a witch hazel or one of those corylus contorta (a wiggly woggly tree) they do one with red leaves and with both you would get winter interest?

thanks Tet, I will take a look at that on internet, x
