Sorry folks this blog is exclusively for Terratoonie

Well this blog might have been exclusively for Terratoonie but I had a look anyway. Everything is growing well with you Ian. :o)

Hello Hywel :o)

Wow ~
Ian, you must have charged up your camera battery well to take all these photos... don't forget to charge it up again... Lol.

This blog makes me feel very hungry. You've some wonderful foods growing, including Holly's strawberries...

I guess Mrs Digs is responsible for the roses....
well done, Mrs. D. :o)

I'm presuming the seedling in the pot is an oak... because the label says OAK....... Interesting that Holly's Oak came from Robin Hood Land. :o)

Good blog Ian.
Many thanks :o)

Sorry couldn't resist peeping and well worth it I say, you have grown some great things Ian and of course Holly and Mrs Diggs who both have impeccable taste! Best wishes Sue

You have some great veg growing there Ian...the potatoes sound delicious,and the carrots look huge !

Think all this good weather is really bringing everyones gardens and allotments on a treat !

I HAD A PEEK TOO AND AM VERY IMPRESSED

JEALOUS TOO AS MY VEG PATCH IS RUBBISH

WELL DONE
X X X

Hi Hywell, your always welcome on planet digs...LOL

TT, we live about 1/4 mile from the Major oak so borrowing a few acorns is never a real problem.....but don't tell anyone Shhhhhh

Hi Sue, Thanks sweetie and yes Mrs. Digs keeps 'prettying up' my garden Grrrrrrrr Only kidding but guess who will be responsible for watering/feeding etc.?

BB, they do look kinda good don't they? Your right of course it's been so long since we had decent weather like this, everything is just throwing itself at the sky.
Lots of manure added last autumn helps in my sand pit of a garden.

Mabye so Mookins but when it comes to the ornimentals guess who is the jealous one

Thanks all for the kind words.

H & K's......Ian

Everything looking well.

Wow! Everything looks great, your garden is really fab, very impressive.
"It's not junk....... it's a collection" my mother gave me a plaque once that said this, she obviously knew me well! : )

Hi Wohlibuli,
It's stuff and I NEED it, I'm just not sure what for yet is all.
I HATE throwing anything away, It might be useful for something and if I've got rid of it then I'll need to (God forbid) buy one :o)

H & K's..........Ian

everything looks great, i just love reading your blogs you have so much to share to us all

mrs melon

Gosh, it sounds like I'm listening to myself. I do know EXACTLY what you mean. : )

Well thank you Mrsmelon, I have been promising terratoonie some pics for ages and had a gentle reminder earlier so here they are.

H & K's..........Ian

junk???you sure its not the gift shop :))

The veg look lovely and I'm sure they taste even better but I'm with Mrs Digs when it comes to what goes in the garden. She has excellent taste!
Maybe your neighbours cut the hole in the conifer hedge so they can get a bet view of your enormous shed and collection of 'things that might come in useful sometime'.
Did you put some manure on the shed too?

I've had to peek aswell !
You've got a great lot of crops there Ian, very very nice.
Mrs Ds rose is pretty :)

Very nice laid out and organised garden you have with lots of assorment what I want to know is where is the gift shop :O

Its the 'junk pile' beside the shed

Its the 'junk pile' beside the shed, see kmccue07's comment.

H & K's......Ian

Now how did I manage that ????????????

Your veggies look great ian...... love your little Holly oak.....lol.....your passion flower leaves you have grown are the same as mine.... so you should get some nice passion flowers on it......i brought mine from a cutting when i moved 4 years ago... this year is the first time its flowered..... hope yours doesnt take so long......

When grown from seedlings, does it usually take about 4 years for passion flowers to flower ?

I've no idea TT but I'm sure I know where to find out. I bet a teaspoon of salt to a jam jar (don't ask me what it means, my grandma used to say it LOL) that someone on GoY can give us the answer.
Holleves, I'm not sure I will be here to find out, apparently Mrs. Digs has applied to the local council for an exchange to another (bigger ) bungalow. As usual I'm the last one to find out anything in this house..........

H & K's all.............Ian

PS. Don't worry I'll be moving my intranet,web thingy first so as not to miss anything on GoY

Ian, that's good to know you'll still be on GoY :o)

I've lived without it once ! Never again..............

this looks lovely Ian. Must admit that reading "sorry, this blog is only for..." is an invitation for everyone else to barge in, elbowing their way to the front for a good butchers, including me lol.
I do LOVE your real washing line, a rare sight in gardens these days sadly. Either those unattractive poke-u-in-the-eye type whirligigs, or maybe kept out of sight out of mind? Or, horrors, a tumble dryer (hushed silence).

Hi Weeding,
I kinda guessed it would be like that when I wrote it HeHe

Whats a Tumble drier??? I think we had one once but not sure any more LOL

H & K's............Ian

Hi Ian.......you will have to take your passion flower with you if you move.....hope you get your bigger Bungalow....

Thanks Holly, I wasn't sure if I could do that (if it would survive or not) I will give it a go. If we get the bungalow.

H & K's.........Ian

you could put it into a pot.... untill you were ready to plant it in a new garden.....once they start growing theres no stopping them....LOL.. mines gone mad this year

The passion flower will be taller than the bungalow. Lol...

LOL....TT

I know (from my friends garden) that they creep, but do they creep like an ivy or similar. Could you cover a side of a house with one?

yes you could if you wanted to.... in my old house there was a passion flower already there it grew all up the side wall of the house.... when i moved i brought a cutting with me...the one i have now..... but im training it up a fence.........

Anyone seen a veggie blog??
Thats a no then.........B***er, don't know where else to look

I couldn't help but peeping as well...Love all the veg Ian. Glad that TT talked you into sharing photos :) Keep up the good work.

Thanks Tasty, I had great fun writing it Lol
