I don’t think it’s an Acer … sorry Julia!

If the birch stays in the pot, it won’t get much bigger. I have a copper beech in a pot about this size and it has remained “dwarf” at less than 3 ft for many years. Birches take kindly to a bit of pruning too.

A wow from me too … it looks so happy!

How lovely to have a pond!

Lovely photo Janey. Our Jordan looks the same size as yours, but one half is fully in leaf while the other half is lagging behind … very odd.

Thank you Janey, I have to assume that you are right. But why only my comments? Its so weird..

If it’s any help, our “tickets” take the form of a programme (A4 folded to A5) listing the gardens and with a sketch map on the back showing the roads where each one is. Visitors have to show the programme at each garden they visit, or of course buy one at the gate. As Andrew says, you will need plenty of £1 coins to give change.

No Lori, I didn’t know there were such things. Do you have any photos?

It looks like my problem is gone for now Janey but only on the new entries. it came from nowhere and disappeared without me doing anything to the system. Except, it looks like in previous older posts my comments and 'likes' are still gone.
We will see how it will develop.

Thank you Dave.

Oh dear confusion,confusion....we will see how it grows

The Sycamore seedlngs we get here are often bronze like that.

Yes Janey, in a corner.

I don’t think that is a sycamore seedling. I get loads of them and they aren’t bronze. I think it’s an Acer as you wished Julia!

Owdboggy thank you. I didn’t think of that

The same way as I get lots of Beech trees in seed pots.

Thank you Dave, I have an adblocker so don't see any ads :)

I agree, they are so pretty Hywel.

It's beautiful Hywel and quite unusual.

It's lovey Janey.

Yes, I agree..lovely tulips Janey!

I love these and mine are in flower now.

Love the colour Janey.

It's a beauty Hywel!

Hello Amsterdam - is this Bomere Heath - we missed your charity open gardens last year - I have put your date in the diary and we hope to make it this year - are dogs allowed she is a well behaved collie Jane

I think it's the site not working as it should Klahanie.

It is odd Klahanie, there's been quite a few blips on the site recently,, not least, the amount of adverts that are showing now. I also get "This Site Can't be Reached " especially when uploading pics.

Thank you both..

Thanks Klahanie, they're always the first to light up by the pond. The ferns and rushes are just beginning to wake up..

I'm really pleased with how it's coming on Julia..:)

Thanks kindly, Dave. Best wishes.

So bright and cheerful. Good plant for that area.

Lovely tulips, lovely acer

Have you seen the chrysanthemum flowered ones?

Thankyou Dave ..

Two thoughts. If you're charging £8 to see the gardens, you will need a of change if people are paying cash (they will probably offer a tenner). Are you giving them a ticket to prove they have paid when going to the other gardens? Maybe charge £10 with one lucky ticket holder getting a total refund?

Plant prices. When we opened, we had coloured sticks in each plant pot and an explanatory chart nearby - red = £1, yellow = £2, etc

Owdboggy, thank you , it’ll be staying in the pot. I still don’t understand how I’ve ended up with a Birch lol

Wow!!

Very pretty tulips,Janey. Jordan looking great!

Thank you everyone...Iwill leave it alone and take another photo in a few weeks for you to see.Shame about the pretty Acer.

Thank you Callie,Hywel and Amsterdam. I do agree the plants do stand out more.

I suspected it was all down to Google but thanks for letting us know.
I appreciate the speed at which you do respond when we flag stuff.

I'd go sycamore or field maple but not one of the pretty acers I think you mean.

So pleased you're on your way now Karen, and the blocked drain was sorted. You'll soon be planting up, how exciting!

It is! Will it be south facing in your courtyard garden?

I remember the one you had in Scotland Karen, and I've always wanted one and am still waiting for myself to remember to buy one!

Looks very smart and makes the plants stand out more.

What a little beauty!

Wow, you did well there! And they're in flower. I've one pot of them overwintered in a cold greenhouse and am still awaiting flowers..

Thank you all for your replies, always good to hear what others are doing. We’re having a meeting to discuss the reg price and who will be selling plants. They will be mostly standard annuals & perennials that gardeners have dug up or divided.
