So lovely.

 

What a gorgeous thing.

 

Hopefully they'll only eat the things that are meant for them.

 

What a beautiful spot.

That is a shame Rose..
This one is fairly trapped.

 

A very belated Happy Birthday Karen.

 

Yes, I agree with Lincs. Thanks for sharing.

 

Mine has a mate now and hoping I get to see the babies.

I am going to have to remove mine Julia as it seems to pop up in the border anywhere and also into my neighbours garden. It's a shame because I do like it.

 

It is annoying Hywel isn't it, but will persevere with it for now hoping that it will get better.
I also have problems with adverts in large blocks and tried to follow your instructions, but my chrome book won't do it.
All it said was to update my chrome book, but there are no more updates on it and suggested I get a new chrome book, which I can't really afford and don't need it.
For what I need it for, it suits me.
I shall miss you on here Hywel.

Nice spring garden Rose, it's good to see things waking up :)

I'm sorry you've had difficulty with this blog.
Personally I've given up on GoY, it's more trouble than it's worth.
I will continue to look in when the page decides to open, but it's so slow and sometimes doesn't work at all, and I haven't got time to waste.

Thank you Sheila.

Thank you Seaburngirl. It’s on my to do list!

 

No luck with the Osteospermums here either.

 

Ty, the silver S, Angels Wings, I’ve been hoping will survive the winter. So far, so good. There is another one on the other side of the door. My Osteospermums never survive, and this year the Nemesia haven’t either, but they are only half hardy. Never mind, a nice trip to a garden centre will be necessary🙂

 

My kind of girl. :-)

Haha, yes I can imagine!

 

You must have perfect conditions Klahanie and en masse I bet they look beautiful.

 

I think you would. She makes boxy jackets and trendy tops, it's very vintage which is what she loves..☺️

It was great today to see many bees on the little Prunus. Thanks Janey, hope your snow showers will be ok in spite of the pesky pigeons. xx

How lovely!

Thankfully there are still quite a few around Janey.
They are very friendly birdies (to us). We are expecting Rufous hummingbirds to arrive any day now (not so friendly as Anna's)

My vision is getting poor Janey.
I think I would get along with Lexie . Not very many younger ladies are into crocheting, there is lots of choice of different activities.

Silver and pink are great partners.

 

Me too. The ones that flower for months are so precious!

 

Thank you Shirley and Janey,

 

Thank you Janey. I have tons of Hellebores as deer ignores them. I will have to stop buying them.

 

Thank you Janey.

Janey, I appreciate your lovely comment.
It is wonderful to see in the fall (autumn) but also a good exercise to rake all the fallen leaves :-)

 

Thank you both ladies.
I am planting now plants deer does not care for (maybe)
We have lots of deer around lately. I do not mind them.
I just have to teach them not to eat several plants from the previous plantings.

 

So happy to have you back Janey! Xx

On blog - Hello everyone!

 

Thanks Thorneyside. I can’t wait to see what it does this year. The Acers have grown a lot as have a lot of the shrubs. The perennials will have bulked up too. And I have planted a lot more since last summer.

 

Thank you both! Xx

 

Thank you Julia, Thorneyside and Janey for your comments .
We inherited this plant and it is nice to see in early spring against the darkness of the forest.

 

yes go for a feed and weed type. there are ones designed for use at this time of year.

 

Lovely photos Karen. Haven’t visited Exeter for a few years.Winchester is a nice day out, another interesting town, lots to see, nice walk along the river, a lot of walking around,as always! I like St Swithins little old chapel.

 

That’s a pretty corner, Janey.

On blog - Hello everyone!

 

Ty Balcony. I love plants that flower on & on Janey, glad you have an Erica too.

 

They do get sunshine there....when the sun does eventually shine.......

Beautiful place Karen, never made it to Exeter but have been to Winchester, amazing place with a fascinating history so I know you will love it, always enjoy seeing and hearing about tour trips out, thankyou for sharing Karen..xxx

 

They do last for ages don't they Rose.

 

Oh I do hope they have come through winter ok..

Really beautiful.

What a history for such a beautiful maple, it does look ancient. Sheltering your porcelain ladies makes it very special Klahanie. You must have posted photos of it's autumn colours over the years, how spectacular!

 

Someone is keeping your hedge nicely trimmed Klahanie. I do love the open spaces of where you are..

 

Alstromerias are one of my favourite garden flowers as well as lasting well in a vase.
