Claireinbude is right - would make a lovely calendar!

Very, very good TT. I especially love your Aubretia.

Where can I get a calender like yours TT....... Its beautiful......

Very good. I like them all

Oooerrr I just did a rhyme ;~))

Brilliant TT, well done I love the Sedum but Mr. December is my favorite. :0)x

Thanks for all your comments, everyone.....

Mr. December gets my vote too.. Lol. xxx

December definitely the winner!

Nice person from Swansea sent me that grass xxx

Excellent well done tt

Thanks Mushyb :o)

That was lovely TT. Very clever. :o)
And great photos.

Wonderful blog and beautiful plants and flowers and the best of all the post man hehe Conker well put to gether .

april's photo is fantastic. such a colour range.
would make a good calendar for real. so much better than some of the 'proper' ones you see.

Terratoonies calendar is great /All that aubrieta by the gate/Decembers is a favourite though /That brave postman in the snow.

Lovely TT especially all the butterflies on the sedum but December wins the day I wonder why? :o))

Fantastic TT. Lovely Conker in December my birthday month. :o)

A clever idea, fab pics, especially December.

Wow TT this is Super :) Well Done X

Hello Hywel, Morgana, Seaburngirl, Mavis, Neellan, Gilli, Heron and Jacque...
I'm pleased you like my calendar, and Mr. December says thank you. :o) xxx

Very inventive, Tt! Well done.....xx

P.S. I'm glad we got Conker instead of glitter and tinsel for December! LOL.

Thanks Spritz....
My choice had to begin with letter D.......
... so glitter and tinsel definitely didn't qualify.... Lol.

Decorations? NO - please don't edit! Please, please!

Great Blog as ever Terra. Mr December is my favourite though :-)
There must be enough pets around for somebody creative to devise a GOY pets calendar?
Chris xx

Thanks Chris...
Reckon I have enough pics I could make a dog and budgie calendar..Lol.
You could make a pussycat calendar.. :o) xxx

First of all, Mr. December wins my vote hands down! Secondly, your pictures are just fantastic~ I only wish I lived near you (so I could get invited to stroll through your garden!!). Third(ly?)~ what kind of camera are you using, as your pictures seem to just jump off my computer screen? Thanks for this blog~ I very much enjoyed it! Lisa :)

Hi Lisa...
Glad you like my calendar... Thank you.
My camera is just a small Panasonic.
It seems very reliable producing clear photos. :o)

That was brill TT loved the photos and well everything Great calendar to have.

Thanks, Clarice...
... glad you enjoyed reading it, and the pics. :o)

Lovely blog Tt. Your April path is breathtaking, I wish I could grow aubrieta but it doesn't like my clay soil:-( Conker though, as usual, has to be the calendar star:-))

Hi Bornagain...
Aubrieta does love good drainage, so I guess your clay soil must be very heavy and solid... Conker says thank you :o)

Brilliant blog, Terra! Mr December looks just perfect!!

Handsome postman,what more could one ask for, Mr December could grace my walls any day. Well done Terra.........

What a great set of pictures Terra it would make a lovely callendar for next year, I make one each December from pictures I have taken through the year. I like your December one very much :o))))))))

Thank you, Madperth, Lincslass and Bob ~
... and special thanks from Mr. December,. :o)))

With any luck it won't be long 'til Mr Postman is back on the job:-)) I think my soil is acid rather than sticky and heavy so I might try some lime? this year and have another try at aubrieta your April has really whetted my appetite. You can put my name down for a calendar too Tt and don't forget the book I'm expecting you to write about multi talented brave little Conker.... postman, gardener, model, nurse, astronaut? the list is endless:-)

Hi Bornagain... Thank you.
Over the winter, when there's not so much gardening going on, I'm hoping to make a couple of new blogs about Conker's tricks etc..

Aubrieta needs watering well while settling in ..I prefer to use rainwater... but it does require very good drainage....so maybe add more gravel and stones under each aubrieta plant you put in. I love the aubrieta and it stays in flower for a long time. My garden path aubrieta pic. above is also on my home page photos.

Thanks for the advice Tt, but I noticed you glossed over all mention of the book. In the meantime I look forward to Conkers blogs:-)

What a fantastic blog.....those pics are prizewinning....mind you... so is your garden!!
If you ever produce a REAL calendar.....I will be first in the queue TT !

Lovely blog TT.... : O )

Hello Alz and Holly ...
Pleased you like this... xxx

Great blog, TT. Had a day off the computer yesterday (went to the Albert Hall for a Classical Spectacular) and now find I am way behind everyone's photos and blogs.
Love your winter jasmine - hope mine will pull its socks up and put on a show soon :)

Hi Gee.... glad to hear you had a nice day out...
Next year I can start a cutting of my winter jasmine for you, if you think yours starts flowering too late ? Don't have any with socks though. ;o)

What beautiful pictures and nice idea you had ...

Thank you, Amano....
I'm pleased you like the pictures :o)

Lovely blog TT, The Aubrieta is beautiful, makes a very welcoming entrance for anyone visiting. I see you have lots of other things there for when it finishes. Glad to see Conker is delivering the Christmas mail for you, he looks very well.
Love to you all.

Hi Bob....
Thank you. The freesia photo ..June..is different to the pic on my GoY photos. It was taken some days later when I had rearranged the flowers....so Sylvia might like to see it... the freesias stayed looking pretty for a long while :o)

This summer I managed to get aubrieta Dr Mules variegata !...
...you can see it in a pot at the front on the dog shows purchases pic ... August photo.

Conker says he is not going on strike....
....ALL MAIL WILL BE DELIVERED. Lol.

Sandra xxx

Hi Sandra...
Glad you like this blog :o) xxx

Wonderful wonderful blog TT

I wonder if there's a way of putting a page of the days of each month and making it into a "real" calendar - I for one would love to look at it every day with a lovely floral photo each month reminding me of home .....

Thanks, Terry60 ~
Good idea...
I'll have a think about that :o)

Just found a useful link for you, Terra!
http://www.myfreecalendarmaker.com/
Try that! It looks pretty good!

Thanks, Madperth.....
...will look at that over the weekend :o)

You're welcome!
:~))

Great!!!......Scrolled down to December....Brilliant!! xxx..lol

Mr. December says he is glad you enjoyed the calendar ! xxx

I've just been looking at the calendar again as I enjoy it so much and May reminded me of Geoff Hamilton - do you remember he used to call that Prunus 'oki mikoki' and laugh.

Just loved it TT!!! Brilliant!

Hi Wagger...
I can imagine Geoff Hamilton trying to pronounce Oku Miyako.....but I'm far too young to remember..Lol.

Hello Janey.... I'm pleased you like my happy calendar ! :o)

Brilliant blog Terra........ well worth all the effort and planning you put into it.
Conker is just a natural Calendar Boy isn't he? So photogenic and deserving of the No 1 spot. (Don't let Truffle or Crocus see! lol)

Thanks, Lily... I did put a lot of work into this one :o)
I don't think Truffle or Crocus would have braved the snow for a winter photo.Lol.

Absolutely,
deffo...

The sedums and butterflies are delightful - I've never seen a butterfly on my sedums - no idea why!

Hi Sarah...
Thanks for visiting my Calendar :o)
Yes, the butterflies on the sedums look so colourful...
...sadly, these days, in some parts of the country, there are less and less butterflies :o(

After all your hard work, I forgot to 'Like it' ! Omission rectified and lovely to look through it again:-)

Hi Bornagain...
I'm pleased you like my idea of making a calendar as a blog....
I'd been thinking of doing the calendar back in August, and glad I found photos suitable for each month... and I made it harder for myself in that the plants also had to begin with the correct letter of the alphabet to match the months!

Yes, I did put a lot of work into it... and thanks for coming back to add a "like"....much appreciated :o)

Ah yes I remember it now lol its lovely one wonderful close up.

Thanks, Morgana...
I thought you had probably seen it because you are usually very alert as to what's happening on GoY.. Lol. x

Lol Terratoonie not always, I normally look for the good not the bad lol on here.

Oops sorry to have missed this ! Senior moment...lovely blog.May is wonderful with the blossom against blue sky....true herald of spring.But December has to be favourite ! xx

Lovely......saw it just now after replying your comment on my blog....sorry have suggested you prunus....your calender already has it :o)

Thanks BB ...
I'm pleased you like Mr. December :o)

Hello Arsh...
Glad to know you like the prunus..
I must go check out the comment on your blog :o)

How lovely Terra, definitely a 'Terratoonie' Award there :o)
