There alreadt are, Shirley! :)

Aw, Andy, thank you! The Ceanothus is looking good at the moment, it’s about 12 feet in length along the top of our rockery area.
I have to day, I find Jacaranda trees just beautiful!

Thank you, Shirley! I’m pleased to hear you’ve enjoyed beautiful Dorset! Bet you both had a fab time there, especially with the gorgeous longed for sunshine too!!!

Definitely a great week to be off, Paul!!! Sounds like you’ve really been organised too. I’m with you re, ivy, it really adds to a garden I think. I use it as a backdrop everywhere!!!
Did trim some late afternoon - lots of clearing up was the only downside!

This is the fourth time I have tried to comment and is so slow to go through, then it decided to go through 3 times!!
I love your Acers Ange and especially the Viburnham Mariesii.

This comment kept going through twice Ange and when I deleted one, they both went and it is so slow today too!

I love your Acers Ange but absolutely love the Viburnham Mariseii .

Just found this Karen! It is looking great and can't wait to see everything growing too.
I love the design and how you are making the most of the space.
I am not surprised you are excited!

They are pretty Chris and it's great when this happens, isn't it!

I had a white one at Willow Cottage Shirley but haven't seen one since.

Wow!

I have this one too Shirley. I love it!

I have just received this Geum, Shirley
Looking forward to the flowers!

I don't know why Karen but this photo has been repeated. Very strange!

This photo seems to have come through 3 times Karen!

Hopefully there will be more flowers to come.

I can't help you there Shirley.
I was lucky as they are all self set and more and more are in my rose garden every year.
Must put a photo on!

Thanks Julia, it must have lain dormant for some time and decided to show itself this Spring!

Ams, yesterday afternoon I was deadheading and looked down to see some tiny snails loitering in the stems of some Iris, then I found some much bigger ones in the Sedums. Finally, I dug out a big old Primrose and there were slugs of all sizes under it ... :o((

I hope so Shirley!

I agree with you Davey!

Oh yes, definitely a huge change!

Would be better with a picture of the tree. Betula can suffer from canker. The disease starts off with goo and then dries out to give a powdery look and a bare patch. I'm afraid that the only true way to settle your concern is to contact a reputable tree surgeon.

Thanks Josee, yes it’s great that the weather has improved so suddenly.

Looks wonderful :-))

I have quite a few buds on mine now shouldn't be long, never smelt the scent though as yet :-))

Thanks Ange, was looking at it thinking it's a bit big now for front of border, yes I like red foliage, this contrasts nice with the lilac and rhodo too :-))

Oh No! It really is the case of luck of the draw.... but going out in the dark on an evening with a torch can make a big difference. My husband thinks I'm mad!!

Ahh that's a shame, yeah mine seems happy :-))

Like it all the same!

Oh that's great to hear Ange.They are bright and cheerful.

Good to know, Kate.

Me too, Paul. Also cedars (upright).

Thanks, Paul. Pure accident..

indeed vibrant beauties

love my yews Ange

Good value - how could one resist??

It must make a good contrast with green foliage. I've just 'discovered' red foliage!

I have my first flower on the doronicum you gave me, Meadow. Very cheerful!

I think some of the darker varieties are rather muddy-looking. This is fresher.

That always cheers us up, Davey, especially this year!

You're welcome, Shirley!

I'm not sure this suckers, Shirley, as it's a small variety.

I think yours performs better than mine does by the sound of it, D'lily. Also because we're on a hill we don't get much scent off it because it gets blowy :-(

Kate,

What a beautiful tree! For a minute I thought it was a Jacaranda tree in flower.

Sedum.ice plant.

It is, Shirley.

Thank you Shirley. I’ve been planting today! We’ve had another dinner outside and the whole thing is just lovely to look out on to from the house. What a difference from the mud flats we moved in to!

I've learnt something new today!
