Mostly green...still.

It is all coming along so well Mouldy :O) you have been so busy, no wonder the foxes love to come around the garden, it is very pretty and changing quickly. Well done give yourself a huge pat on the back. :O)

Hello Mouldy..
planting looking good ... nice to see so much in flower ... well done on making so many improvements in such a short space of time ... :o)

It's a very nice brick wall and trellis Mouldy! And you've chucked the other things in very nicely too. I like your interpretation of Stone Henge with the leftover rocks and soil (lol) it looks great. Are you planning to put something in the middle?

Enjoy whatever summer we may get and enjoy the beer and the garden. I'm sure most GOYer's will e happy to join you!

Top trellising, keep it up : )

I must agree....trellising is fab! Climbing Tatties?? ;)

...oh, and love the whatsit also.....always think a whatsit makes a garden. ;)

I'm more inclined to prefer a thingamijig to a whatsit Mouldy!
It all looks great. Was just wondering yesterday where you were hiding. No we know... Getting pi**ed with the Foxes :)
You've done a great job with the trellis.

You're all too kind.
Is it just my c**p fone or are some pics missing?
If it's not my fone, then Terra has already given me the solotion.
Huzzah for Terra!
Sorry, I must be going deaf... I said "HUZZAH for Terra!"
Much better. Lol.
Olive : Marry me.
Already done? Ask the lucky blighter if he's up for a share scheme.
Terra : Fancy living in a Glasgow commune?
It's you, Olive 'n' me so far.
LilJ, you down with it?
Karen : Won't be fun, if you ain't there.
Five & Steve makes us six.
Well, it sounded like a good plan.
Back to the drawing board, I guess. Sigh! ;-)
Seriously (he said, trying to manfully hide his disappointment), six inches of superb topsoil went into the border.
What do worms love? Exactly.
And what do foxes love, Olive?
Fat, juicy worms.
That's their excuse.
Me? Er...I'll have to get back to you on that one. Lol.
Terra, hopefully, the weather will smile on me & the plants, too.
If that's the case, then I'll have flowers through 'til November, fingers crossed.
LiJem, glad you noticed the Stonehenge approach.
What? Why are you all shaking your heads in that disapproving, maiden aunt's manner?
Read the blog again.
Discrepencies, 'member? Kinda like poetic licence. ;-)
Anyway, LiJem, the photo isn't the latest...the middle of the whatsit has been filled & a dahlia, 4 lillies & some harlequins planted.
Stevie, you wag, that's why I had to resort to the trellis transplant some months back.
It's, or rather -they, as in panels, have all been individually bracketed (1 't' or 2? Bacon sarnie to go? Lol) to what remains of the crumbly wall behind them.
Karen, what can I say?
I had you in mind when the idea struck me.
I was thinking... Now what would impress Karen?
The boulders were too heavy hoist aloft to bring down a seagull in flight, so I went for the easy option. ;-)
Scottish, was just killing time wait for your grand entrance.
The final part of the thingamyjigsaw.
Now we're the magnificent, no that's not right...the secret, no, that's not right either, we're the...er.,anyway, there's seven of us now.
Squiffy with squirrels, formented with foxes, they're my bro's.
All else is illusion. Sleight of paw, you might say. ;-)

And no.,before anyone asks...I will NOT get sloshed with slugs!
Inebriated with invertebrates was too hard to spele, besides, I like worms, but not the way foxes like them. ;-)

My darn comments are disappearing again!!!!! 3rd time lucky I hope.
I agree with Scottish, its a "Thingamajig" every garden should have at least one as it adds character, very posh walls now Mouldy, your plants are doing really well and you'll soon see loads of colour, I know the fox is still a visitor but pleased you haven't had anymore mishaps by the spray yielding moron, you've created a really lovely garden there and if you were nearer I'd gatecrash your garden party, I'd bring my own lager, lol...

Lincs, for you I'd steal a glass from a neighbour.
Can't have one of the classy Goygirls swigging from a can...what would my neighbours think? ;-)

LOL, you'll be wanting us wearing posh hats next Mouldy...

LOL :O) you are very funny Mouldy I am still giggling :O) Foxes the least said soonest mended about them. I love to see them but I am a NIMBY where they are concerned. Cheers

Lol...this is Glesga, not Windsor, Lincs.
Some headgear they've been sporting at Ascot, eh?
One looked Carmen Miranda on L.S.D. =-O
I love wildlife full stop, Olive, except for slugs, but, like you, don't want the foxes using the back courts as a toilet or a snack stop.
Do they think this is a service station? ;-)

It all looks great, Mouldy.

(Famous Five...?)

Thanks, Melchisdec.
We're talking Enid Blyton's 'Famous Five'...sandwiches, cake & lashings of ginger beer, although I supect the Goyers prefer lashings of stronger stuff. ;-)

I used to lose myself in the adventures of the Famous Five. Loved the books as a youngster, do not read much at all these days. Shame on me. lol :O)

Oh yes, I read all the Famous Five books, Mouldy - I just missed the connection (being one of those keener on the stronger stuff...) My grandmother always bought them for me at Christmas, Easter, birthday or whenever a new one came out. I've still got them all up in the attic!

Bet they are worth a bob or two now Melchi, I loved those stories.

Well, they would be, Barbara, if I had kept the dust-jackets and not coloured in the black and white pictures! They're still good to read though - not that I have for a while!

lol, just the sort of thing that I would have done.

;-) That's what children's books are for - enjoying! And I did love them - well, I've still got so many of them!

Did any of you see the 'Comic Strip' version of the 'Famous Five'?
Hilarious!

No do not think so, shame, bet it was funny.

Dawn French as 'George' with Jen Saunders & Ade Edmundson.
Can't recall who played the other lad, though.

that would be hilarious - I can see it all now !

It was hilarious, Barbara! You can perhaps find it on YouTube - worth looking for!

PS Isn't "lashings" a wonderful word? Goes SO well with "ginger beer"!

Definately of it's age & the 1st outing for the comic strip on TV, as I recall.
Even now, I can still see Dawn playing it heavy camp...'til near the end.
Early to mid 80's, wasn't it?
Nostalgia...not what it used to be! ;-)
Lashings.
A word to evince a smile...or a wince. Lol.

I saw a repeat of it recently - can't remember what the programme was... it passes the test of time well.

Famous Five, Secret Seven, Noddy in Toyland, I loved them all.
Please, don't tell me nobody else remembers them?

Remember them? I've still got them! And a good few others as well. I adored Enid Blyton. (And no - it didn't blight my imagination or stunt my reading ability!)

Me either.
Happy days. Lol.
