Valsacres

Lovely blog, nice to see Vals garden, and the owners having their siesta. Handsome. Amazing amount of colour.

All beautiful but I like the hanging basket with the colourful petunias most.

wow! bjs and val ~ thank you ~ what a wonderful and brilliantly colourful as well as very healthy garden.

Well that's decided me, I've just got to arrange a visit to this fabulous estate asap, even if the owners are going to sleep right through my visit as well. Brilliant blog Brian, very funny and such great pics of Val's riot of colour.
That Fuschia new Millenium really is a beauty, I must lean on Val for a cutting or two. :o) Shame about the deer, I have the same problem with my 'lawn'!

i did love the penthouse suite ~ high rise style ~ for alfie and dolly!!

I do like an estate to have a walled garden ... and this one doesn't disappoint the visitor ... the mixed planting is a delight to see and it's good to know the animals aren't dangerous! This is definitely a garden to visit . . . . enough creeping for you Val? lol! ......... Lovely riot of colour going on in your garden, well done you ... :o))))

Thank you Brian for this lovely tongue in cheek blog.
My garden is the size of a postage stamp, which makes it all the funnier, especially the walled garden!
As for the animals ..... they are unconscious all day and chase frogs all night!

Coshad, the hanging basket was the only one I didn't put together ....it was a present! LOL

Lily, just say when but don't forget about the housekeepers Trust ! ;0))

Lovely blog....Rosa 'piccolo' looks like one i have and couldnt name...Beautiful kitties....beautiful garden...:>)

Mmmm the Housekeepers Trust Val, does that prefer donations of tins of catfood or something a little stronger in a bottle??

I think the cats would prefer a bottle don't you Lily ? Lo

Loved it - what a great blog, and a lovely garden to enjoy. :-)))

What a lovely garden - so full of beautiful flowers.

What a lovely,colourful, garden!Thanks for sharing bjs

A lovely blog...and a very "des res" for those moggies!! Lovely garden Val....:-)..particularly that huge pelargonium in the conservatory....how old is it?

Lovely garden and lovely blog, plus lovely cats

Thank you guys.
The pelargonium is about five years, it never goes outside and loves to bake in the sun.
It will flower for about nine months of the year.

!!! LoL, lovely garden Val, love those double fushias, Lobelias look stunning and Velvety black petunias!!

Beautiful. How nice of the estate owner to let you have a free run!

great blog brian and so nice to see val and her two lovely cats, garden looks beautifull ;o)

Fabulous garden, a mass of colour! Could think of a few other stately homes not half as good.
Witty blog too...next time Bjs I hope to visit and I can keep the housekeeper occupied whilst you pinch us some cuttings! Must make sure the owners are having their siesta tho..I would imagine those claws are pretty sharp if they catch you pinching bits of their plants!!

Val`s estate is a picture, full of colour and the residents are obviously very contented with their lifestyle. The huge Geranium is outstanding and I really like the walled garden.Lovely photo`s.....

Beautiful garden and blog lol now tell did you really leave with out a cutting or did you pinch a bit on the sly hehe ha ha.

No cuttings but sure i can have them if i wish,the pictures were all taken in a few minutes as I was taking Val to Tetrach garden for her to see her blaze of colour.

I could send yo a New Millenium cutting if you pm me, if you think it would survive posting, though its getting a bit late for rooting them.

I have taken some cutting of New millenium now as you say its a a bit late for them and it was hard to find a stem without buds or flowers.Val has promised not to kill it during the winter in that case there will be plenty of new growth in spring.thanks for the offer anyway.
