Gardening With Friends

So much colour in your pretty garden, ,Chris,and it all looks wonderful..I too love Japanese Anemones..I have the pale pink,and the white ones..such good 'doers' I find..Your Roses are a delight,and I'm sure the odd leaf or two with blackspot,isn't just confined to your garden ! looks like we are in for a lovely warm few days ,so let's make the most of them :o)

'Fraid so

I absolutely love that first one, the other two are impressive but do not have the same appeal as the cottage. Lovely photo's Kate..

Thankyou all, I'm pleased we have done these jobs, I seriously do not think the old fence panel would have lasted another winter and I hate working out in the cold, I am the general dogsbody when such things are going on, lol...Toffee is weird, we had a lot of sparrows nesting in that hedge, would you believe he never once stalked them or attempted to get near them, as I said he is one comical cat....

Maybe the fruit shrivelled so quickly because their skins split? Similar to tomatoes that have uneven watering or temperatures. Definitely go with ericaceous compost & fertilisers though, big pots too

Thank you Wildrose, it’s always a lovely drive, in any season.
