Thanks Paul...
This is the raised bed at the end of my back garden, which, some years ago, I made from very heavy recycled brick sections...

13 Feb, 2011

Hywel... the breed of the little dog is a Papillon... French for butterfly ...

13 Feb, 2011

 

Lovely garden TT :)

13 Feb, 2011

 

looking good...so lovely to see things growing again

13 Feb, 2011

 

The people a few houses away from me have Papillions - 4 of them I think. They're very pretty

13 Feb, 2011

 

Hywel ... yes they are very pretty dogs ...
... there is a version of the breed with "drop ears" and they are called Phalène, which means moth....

Thank you Aleyna and Elsiemay...
yes, each time I go out in my gardens I find more more bulbs reaching for the daylight :o)

13 Feb, 2011

 

Everything looks good Tt ... hope you haven't had any Winter casualties. : o )

Hello Shirley...
I had to trim a few dead leaves off the euonymus in the tub, but it still seems healthy enough...
A few of my front garden hebes look a little sad, but I think they might perk up when the weather improves....

13 Feb, 2011

 

Hebes are quite resilient ... I'm sure they'll be fine ... just looked outdoors and it's pouring down ... again! : o (

13 Feb, 2011

 

Well, this looks very pretty Tt, and well cared for, a smashing corner.

13 Feb, 2011

It looks lovely and full of live already! :) I am thinking of growing some aubrieta this year, is it good stuff? x

8 Mar, 2011

 

Hi Jennyfer ...
Thanks :o)
Yes, aubrieta is lovely...

I have lots of pics of aubrieta on my GoY photos...

here's an example ...

Also, if you click on A from the alphabet at the base of the page, that will then enable you to click on Aubrieta from the GoYpedia... I hope this helps :o)

Aubrieta seems to do well in neutral/alkaline soil, and with good drainage... water young plants with rain water... x

8 Mar, 2011

 

oh wow, it looks lovely, really nice colours :)) I was thinking of getting some "Royal mix" seeds and trying those; apparently they've won one of those shiney RHS medals...

I have visions of it tumbling down the old sandstone walls we have in the garden... although I may have to wait a few years for that :P

Thanks very much for the info, I'm working through the Goypedia album now :)

8 Mar, 2011

 

Good luck with your aubrieta, Jennyfer ...
... it soon spreads ... and another good point is that it flowers for quite a number of weeks...

Royal Mix sounds superb ! :o)

8 Mar, 2011

 

Thanks Terratoonie, I hope it does! :P
I was going to get just the "Royal Violet" at first, but figured the mix would hopefully give me that aswell as others :) I just can't wait to get home and get sowing now! :P

8 Mar, 2011

 

Yes, the mix should give you a good variety of colour ...
I sent you a p.m. about the variegated-leaf ones, as those are worth looking out for ...

8 Mar, 2011

 

How did I miss this? Beautiful, TT, and so neat and tidy. Your plants behave as well as Conker and Truffle :)

10 Mar, 2011

 

wow, that's given me food for thought, and then some!!

15 May, 2011

 

Thanks Gee and Fran :o)
