Lovely acer tree Sandra.

thanx steve had this a good few years now and never fails to please me, first year in ground so hope it does ok through winter ;o))

I'm sure it will. Should grow better in the ground

yes im sure it will, i think they have more risk of frost in pots,

What a change from last year .Things seem to be going well

thanx roseberry i cant believe it myself, just over a year from start to finish and looks like its been like this for a few years, im so pleased, will have to seperate some plants next spring as i crambed to many in for a instant look lol, will have to make a new border to fit plants in then ;o))

It looks great San, You both have done a brill job and it looks like its been there for years, i love your planting scheme and rocks and pebble's. arent acer's amazing, mine looks the same as yours and when the sunshine is on the leave's it comes alive. mine is in a pot burried in the border and like you have, im taking it out and planting it next year eeeek . Scarey isn't it?
Your garden is beautifull san and youv'e come a long way since last year,A huge well done to you and Baz..

hi Dee lovely to see you , hope your well and enjoying your garden to,we have done lots over winter to get to this with the new pond, i love it and will be able to sit and enjoy this summer i hope lol, my acer seems to have settled really well in the ground now but was a little scared it may not live , very windy here today and been staking some of my plants before they snap off ;o( but at least the sun shining ;o))

My garden brollie's blew over today, I knew i should of put them down :) Happy you have the sun, we have rain, Never mind im going on the drink soon, its not raining in the pubs hehe

Coming on a real treat Sandra....you should be pleased with it all.............

lol Dee, enjoy ;o))
im so so pleased ray and my water lily is finally growing ;o))

Thats lovely Sandra and the Acer is in exactly the right place love it!

Thats great news !

thanx carole ;o))
isnt it ray,, my son just gave me 3 seeds of a nelumbo nucifera, if you want to try one pm me ray, its a form of water lily but you can have it in ground or water and have to over winter roots when died off, thought it may be fun to try ;o))

You would never know it was so new San , it looks as if it's always been there , well done to both of you :o))

thankyou amy, i must admit it has settled in well and all the plants to ;o)))

The acer looks very happy there Sandra :o)

its sure is Terra, was a bit nervous of moving it but it got more room now, thankyou ;o))

thanks for your kind offer Sandra....but think as ours is trebling in size this year...another would be too much ! x

Love the Acer, hope it likes the ground as opposed to the pot. I haven't the courage to transplant mine.

thats ok ray, its sprouted already so i have to read up on it now, its going to be to big for my pond i think but just want to see what its like ;o))
the acer seems fine silverbelle im a little concerned about being so close to pond though, never thought about roots, dont want them growing and piercing liner

All looks brilliant San and I have been thinking about moving our red Acer to the front garden when we have a wall built around it, which won't be for a while.

If I do move it to the ground, I hope it looks half as good as yours!!

cheers Dan im still trying to find out if its planted to close to pond liner, i must check

lovely ..................

thanx cristina ;o))
