Thanks Janey.

 

Thanks, yes you’re right Janey, that’s exactly what they are. Very attractive to my mind 🙂.

 

Thank you Janey, you do have a good memory!

it does sometimes do this. But post your picture in the pictures section and then I will see if I can help with your problem.

Hope we can sort this out for you.

 

That is a lovely shaped Acer Sheila, in your Japanese part of the garden..

Ooh, beautiful, are they bracts?

 

Lovely shade of pale green Sheila..

 

Yes, wonderful memories Sheila..:)
I think I may be going to southern Spain later in the year, which will be a real treat, I haven't been to Andalucia before..:))

 

My question is should my Fatsia Spiderweb(?) look like this? Should I cut off the pale parts?

Then I chose the photo, the question showed it on a little box and I clicked send. It seemed to go but clearly didn’t. I’ve been using this site for years and never had this trouble.
Any ideas?

 

Your garden is looking lovely Kate, and what a cute puppy.

 

Thanks very much Ange for making me smile 🙂.

Lovely! Your blue aquilegias are early Kate. Mine are just starting to grow.

You have a lot of new growth there Kate.
I love the spring and to see all the new leaves coming in to growth.
You have reminded me, seeing your ferns that I must cut last years back.
I love the picture of the puppy!

 

They look good together Kate.

Hope they grow well for you Kate. I went to our local nurseries on Thursday, and bought a lot of plants ready to go in when the frosts have departed.

 

Lovely pictures Kate - and I love the peekaboo birdie and the little puppy - enjoy your weekend I have been doing bits and pieces in the greenhouse - the propagator is full and the garden is like a jungle - I have been holding back on clearing out the weeds because we have some big fat bumble bees who are enjoying them - Jane

 

So well designed!

Aw, is there anything cuter than a JR puppy? I don’t think so. Maybe a red Panda, but you can’t cuddle them! lol. Great photos of Spring time Kate. I hope Sunday is a good day for you. I might go into the bluebell wood tomorrow.

 

So pretty in the sunshine!

Oh Kate, it feels so slow! For one reason and another, not much progress. I am being very patient and it’s against my nature! lol!

 

Sorry to hear that, Rose! I don't know what you can do then!

Some lovely plants there Kate 🙂.

Lovely memory for you Janey. Hope you can go back at some point, although mixed emotions I guess. x

 

I seem to have a problem with this site. Hopefully I will fing the reason w.y

Thanks Kate, I can’t quite get over the dozens of bracts on the Cornus … it’s never been so prolific before 🙂.

 

Thanks Balcony but it just won't work! When I click on it, it won't accept it.

I grow the Euphorbias in pots Kate, They always die in the winter if I plant them in the ground. I put them in a shelter for the winter but they're back outside now.

 

I'm liking the 'look' too!!!!

I'll admire yours as I can't seem to grow them, Hywel!

 

Hopefully your weather is as glorious as it is here, today, Karen!!! It's so cheering.
Looks like your project is definitely progressing!

 

Gish, there are lots of lovely buds, Jane! It's going to be a glorious vision of pink!!

 

Very attractive shot, Sheila! Lovely Cornus too, liking the form.
I can spot your Acer, Jordan is such a beautiful Acer isn't it!!

 

Very pretty, lovely sunshine yellow. Welcome to GoY.

 

Amsterdam, I couldn't add anymore, the others have said it all, great advice really!

 

I do love your stumpery, Sue! Always inspires me. Love the verdant lushness. Your Mr Tree beard looks right at home there, I think he'll be very settled!!!!! Must have been a right old task getting him moved!

 

Lovely to see, Hywel. I struggled to grow this in past years.

 

Welcome to GoY Beverleyannfret :)

 

Yes the Mediterranean redbud, Cercis silliquastrum. They were often planted down the village streets and pruned and trained so the canopy of branches touched each other, beautiful to walk under the umbrella of pink flowers in spring and huge yellow heart shaped leaves come autumn...ahh me, haha!

 

Let's hope we have calmer and more Spring-like weather soon. I had to move mine as the wind was too much for it. It is looking very grey here today..:((

Hello! my good friend offered to share these mineral:
https://globy.com/b2bmarket/listing/products/mineral-fertilisers-75f17c?category=chemicals&childCategory=products-fertilizer-317d8a
fertilizers with me. are they suitable for my garden?
I usually grow standard vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

On question - Which fertiliser?

 

Mine is looking slightly sorry for itself...I think it has had too much water.The leaves are drooping. I'm giving it a rest and see what will happen.

Rose, go to the 'puzzle' icon at the top right hand side, click on it (if you hover your pointer over it, without clicking, you will see it says "extensions") & when it opens you should see "Manage Your Extensions". In the search box write 'Adblock Ultimate' &/or 'uBlock Origin'. You will get it at the top of the results list. Click on it to install it & that's that!

You can do the same with 'uBlock' as well. Not only will they stop ads on here but all across the sites you visit! Pages will also load faster & ads will not longer bother you.

I understand that to keep this gardening community on line ads are needed to finance it, so that it will remain free, but they can be very intrusive at times - as the comments on here make clear.

 

Yours sounds wonderful Sheila...the flowers are minute on ours.
They must look so attractive Janey..I had no idea there were so many in Spain.
