Sunday drive out in North Wales

Enjoyed your blog, Neellan, sounds like a lovely day out. I also was pleased to see your sink as I have just acquired one but have yet to put anything in it! I will be scouring GoY for tips in the near future. I am just off for a few days holiday with my daughter and granddaughter so hopefully we will see some garden centres/nurseries along the way - I have made a note of your plant choices :)

Fantastic views Neellan. Absolutely love the bluebells. The Heucheras look good placed like that, and your sink will look great as it establishes. Lovely garden centre too.

What a lovely garden centre, I,ve nominated the heuchera tower for goypedia, I think its a brilliant way of displaying them. I bought firechief on sunday with obsidian.....I,m really hooked!

That sink looks good now with the new plants, hopefully we'll get some more sun to show them off.

Good photos of the bluebells, they look so nice with the gorse, I can see why its your favorite view

I have been buying a few heucheras, but find they are so expensive, up to £14.99 for the larger ones, I have bought a few on ebay that I have been pleased with, I don't mind the smaller ones as they seem to grow quite quickly.

Aw thank you Gee, I hope you have a nice holiday with lots of lovely garden centre visits! and I'm sure you will make a lovely job of your sink on your return :o)

Thank you Cinderella the Huechera Pyramid was very effective, I try to drive by to see the bluebells every year,
fingers crossed the sink plants will do well :o)

Thank you Pam and for adding the Pyramid to Goypedia the owner will be pleased! I asked if he would mind and told him it would be on the website, their other good idea was a stand to show plants featured at Chelsea.
My sink is certainly an improvement on it's previous state!
The bluebells are fantastic would have loved to have got closer but they are on private farmland. :o)

Thank you Lizziebee There are so many beautiful shades of Huecheras now one is spoilt for choice :o)

What lovely day out you had , lovely views, lovely plants ,and lunch out what more could a girl want :o)

Those bluebells are just beautiful ~ the colours are amazing and I love the way you have planted up the sink ~ lunch out at the garden centre? now thats what i call a nice day out!!

Hi Neena
Beautiful photos...
well done on the sink planting .. very pretty :o)

Rained here ever since Sticki :o(

Thank you Bloomer it was a most enjoyable day, I've had the sink a long time - my Mother's friend gave it to me, initially I grew herbs in it :o)

Thank you Tracey the bluebells are just gorgeous aren't they, you'll have to time your visit to see them - or next year! :o)

Thank you Holly, there has been no sunshine since so the Delosperma is still closed :o)

Hi TT thank you I'm glad you liked my pictures and approve of my planting, they seem to be happy despite the lack of sunshine since planting :o)
