garden at the moment

All looking very nice

cheers holly ive been looking for a small tree for in the lawn but cant fine one at our garden centres, only big ones

theres one that would fit but cant remember name at moment..lol.....isnt it annoying when you cant think of things..

sent you a Pm

lol holly , ok will check

Looksgreat i'd be sat there and get nothing done.

very relaxing and with such a view to be proud of :-)

lol carol, will bring you to see it next week while we are out if you like ;o)
cheers Gina, still things to be cleared up, bags of rubble out of view haha

It looks immaculate San .. not a weed in sight ......

lol amy, not in the ground, no room for weeds hahah but the drive and patio need to be done while its not to bad, i hate that job though, thanx ;o)

I do think a small tree would look nice in the middle of that lawn Sandra. I can't help feeling it's a bit blank at the moment.

It's looking great Sandra...how about an amelanchier?

Or even better, a lovely crab apple, like Golden Hornet?....

Another great view........... :~))

Looking good, you have been working hard!

thanx for your input hywel, good job i know you hahah, blank huh! hahaha
know what you mean though ;o)
karen are they small, dont want something to big,
thanx Tog, i never stop, garden, house, work, shopping, cooking, the list is endless hhahah ;o)

I have a small standard Salix Sandra they are very pretty and would be just right if you do decide to take up Hywels suggestion!

i have a salix carole, grafted one in a pot, so if i dont find a tree i want i may plant that in lawn, will see ;o))

I hope I didn't offend you Sandra. I have a blunt way sometimes. But do you remember we were talking about it not long ago :o))

hywel please you dont have to,, im fine, i know you didnt mean anythhing, it makes me giggle if anything ;o)) xx yes i rememeber

That's all right then :o) x

it sure is hywel xx

Golden hornet is quite small, but how small do you want it Sandra? You could go for a bay tree in a pot....mmm...might look a bit 'lost' it's quite a big bit of lawn....my dwarf fruiting cherry would look nice. It won't get above 2m tall, it's about 1.4m at the moment. something grafted would be nice. You know what would be lovely? that cornus kousa that I used to have in Dundee. It was grafted on to a standard and it was really stunning. The bracts start white and then as the leaves grow they turn a lovely salmon pink and they stay on for ages and if you're lucky you get red fruits afterwards, and then the stunning autumn colour. It had a name.....Cornus Kousa 'Satomi' I will try to find a picture and upload it for you......hang on.....

thanx karen, i dont want it to big, probably nothing bigger than 3metres in height and not to big on top, lol, because i dont want anything which has a creeping root because of my pond liner,i will check out the pic if you have posted it yet ;o))

Cant help you with trees, still an amateur, but ~I certainly can comment on your garden. It's really beautiful. Congrats, all so nicely layed out, it's in great shape too with round edges etc. Bravo

Hi San, I don't know about the roots of the crab apple, but it's the right size.

thanx titchy for your kind comments, i appreciate it, i love being in my garden, its never to much trouble, not like housework haha ;o)
thanx karen, a lady today said i should watch i dont get a tree which is to bushy with being on the lawn, she said it shouldnt shadow the lawn to much , not good for grass,

Yes, absolutely, you would get a lot of moss etc. Best to go for something with a light and airy habit...like a cornus kousa satomi!! lol!
