Maureens Second Blog

Ha ha ha This is a brilliant blog Andrewr.......and I love Maureen. I gave me a laugh on on chilly evening.....

Lol Andrew, nice blog. Is this your new 'bit on the side'? It looks very established if so.

Well done Maureen for coming through the Winter ... bet that was a shock to the system! Fancy not having a coat to wear ... you'd think Andrew would have covered you with a fleece while he was having fun in Chilly! Do you have any plants close by you could nibble on? Just to get your own back on him! ... I'm sad to see his Hebe didn't survive ... at least he's found a replacement for it. I'm sure he'll teach you some more plant names soon .........

Hi Maureen,i cant believe Andrew left you without leg warmers and expected you to look after his plants for him..i too suffered from cold legs (and feet ) in the winter so i know how you felt, good job he has a replacement for the hebe..i think you did a good job as the garden is looking good right now..

LOL Andrew, great blog, maureen looking good after winter, think you should get her a jacket for next year especially as she looks after your plants :o)

Well done Maureen - I'm surpried you are still talking to Andrew bearing in mind that he left you without any covers this last winter - you look absolutely frozen stiff !

Hi Maureen I was wondering how you coped with all that snow it was Chilly. Good of you to look after Andrew's plant's, shame you couldn't get leg warmer's maybe Andrew could knit you some ? :-)

Maureen you write a good blog........I am sure someone would knit you some leg warmers lol

Scotkat would, I'm sure! lol.

Love the blog,Andrew, and say hallo to Maureen please. :-))

Good blog Andrew very funny!

Nice to meet you Maureen. Sorry you were not able to keep all the plants alive in the winter. (I nearly died myself.) I think Andrew is sure to replace them.

Glad you have survived those frozen days of winter Maureen, your English is coming along just fine. You have done a great job looking after the plants, sorry the Hebe died though, but think a lot of them have. I am not replacing anything that has died at least not with the same plants, trying different ones. Just a bit worried it might be the same for winter from now on. Ah well, tell Andrew to get some leg warmers knitted up for you.

Great blog, Andrew! Love the garden too . . . particularly the "prune-us". Is it P. Amenogawa by any chance??

Dawns - yes, it is my bit on the side - 18 months since the first plantings

Sheila - it's prunus x cistena which is more of a shrub than a tree, getting to about five feet in height. I think it needs a good soil; it seems to struggle on poor ones

Thanks Andrew. I just love purple leaves, so will look out for this one.

I remember when you were digging those tree stumps out Andrew.

Great blog Andrew...

oh dear maureen - how cross was andrew when he found those dead plants?
im trying very hard to think of something you could have for leg warmers if you are here next winter - the DIY shops have some lovely warm pipe insulation - if not i had better start knitting now!!

great blog - thanks maureen + andrew

I love you too,Maureen..at least you should have thawed out in the recent sunshine..hope those lovely long legs didn't get sunburnt ! :o)..Tell Andrew you need a high factor sun cream.especiall on those knees..Lol.
