A Garden Blog

Good to see you on GoY again Cinders - that first photo is wonderful - what a fabulous specimen! The Acer 'Orange Dream' is beautiful - I only hope mine will grow so tall one day. And the Coronilla - wow! Looks as though you had to have some new fence panels after the storms of late? Keep warm and dry! :o)

Hi Shirley, That Heuchera is several years old now, and seems to like that spot, and Orange Dream, well I have had it bagged up all winter as it was too tall to put in the greenhouse. I was so worried about it, having lost a few in the past, but thankfully it is fine.
Yes I had to have six new fence panels, some on the side and some at the bottom after all the wind and rain.

I was just thinking about you as I am planning another trip to Harrogate spring flower show and we met up 3 yrs ago.

The garden is looking great Cinders.
What is the variegated edged leaf plants in the 2 'pans'. they look lovely.

So nice to see you back too,Cinders..your garden is as beautiful as ever..the Heuchera's and Orange Dream are looking fabulous..and sorry you had to have your fence panels replaced,but they look very nice..

Your garden is always so interesting and colourful, and you've got some lovely Heucheras.
I hope you are feeling all right now. I've also taken a break - not been on since Feb lol
and we can all look forward to a nice summer I hope :o)

Hi Sbg. Wish I could meet up again, but not possible I'm afraid. The plants you asked about are Hosta Stiletto. They have narrower leaves than most. Have a nice day at Harrogate.

Hello Sandra, thanks for lovely comments. The fence panels needed replacing anyway, so it was ok really.

Hello Hywel, nice to see you again. thanks for the lovely comments. I have a lot to catch up on, as I expect you do too.

Yes there's such a lot, and I'll never catch up with it all ... so I think I'll just pick it up from here :o)

It all looks so colourful. The Heuchera add so much don't you think? Glad your Acer has survived. Thanks for naming the Hosta - was going to ask but SBG got there before me - they look very eye catching in those pots.
I hope the weather warms up for you and you can get outdoors and enjoy your lovely space. Oh, and welcome back!

Hi Cinders nice to see you again and your lovely garden, not sure whether we are coming or going with the weather do we, here in lincs we seem to be having about 4 days of really gorgeous days and then back to dull, cold ones and even turn the heating back on, mind you it doesn't seem to be holding the gardens back, lovely photo's Cinders.......

Thanks Scottish, I hope it soon warms up too.

Thank you Lincs, it is still so cold isn't it.

Wow! That Marmalade! All your Heuchs look amazing! Most of mine look dreadful! That's the North-South divide for you! The whole garden looks so colourful! Welcome back Cinders! :))

Welcome back from me too Cinders, your garden is looking lovely and those Heurcheras are just stunning, i love Caramel ;0))

I wouldn't have guessed they were hostas, I'm glad I asked now. :o).

Thanks Karen, its all the new growth isn't it that makes them light up the garden.

Thanks PP, Your garden looks good too. So neat.

Hello Cinders, wondered what had happened to you, pleased to see your lovely garden again, all doing really well from what I can see.....

Hi DD. Thank you. Oh I have been popping in, but just couldn't get enthusiastic. Have been growing lots of things for our Country Markets locally and quite busy with that at the moment. Just wish the weather would improve so I can move some out from greenhouse !!

Lovely pics Cinderella, I wondered what the variagated plant was too, did think might be alstroemeria, all looks lovely everything seems to be flourishing along now :))

Thanks Daylily. Its lovely to see it all coming together again isn't it.

I love your garden and it is so nice to see it again looking as good as ever!
Welcome back :-)

Thank you Wildrose. Thats very kind. Its been an awfully wet day today.

Hi there, thank you so much for sharing the lovely photos of your garden. I love all plants but i am hooked on Heuchera's and i have 1 Heucherella's. Cheers Gillian!

Welcome back CInders :-), always enjoy seeing pictures of your lovely garden, love all your heuchera, something seems to have taken a fancy to mine only the light coloured ones though strangely.

Thank you Gilljohn for your kind words. Heuchera are a great help in the garden I find.

Hi Simbad, sorry to hear your heuchera are not doing well. I think the lighter ones are not as strong as the others, but that is just my feeling. They give a lovely colour to the garden when other things are not flowering don't they.

Glad to see you back again Cinderella and ready to enjoy your garden. Heucheras looking good too. They add a splash of colour on dull days and bright ones.

Thank you Dorjac. Everything is looking very miserable again today and bedraggled. I can't wait for some decent weather so we can start planting.

Lovely Heucheras and Hostas and so green, can't think why.

Thank you Siris. Green because of all the wet weather we have had I expect.
