Your ferns are really beautiful, K...

...and they're giving me an idea...perhaps I could use ferns to achieve the 'sub-tropical' look I was going for in the beds where I lost all my more tender plants this winter...hmm?

You might just find in a very cold winter the leaves will die, but will return, usually, we have lots of ferns, only lost one so far....fingers crossed.

...now my idea's fermenting, Dd2... :)

Brill fern

Great idea Karen...as long as it is moist and at least part shade. They do look great in a 'fernery'...and they are inexpensive to buy!

Hmmm...may have to make a trip to Perigueux...all things considered...

Soup all week should cover it...now...is my car big enough?? ;)

roof rack? Brings a new meaning to 'green roof' !

Lol! First...I need...a roof!!!

It's amazing how many plants I can fit in to my little peugeot 107...boxes on the back seat, big plants in the little boot and little ones on the front passenger floor....I reckon I could, at a push, get about three trolleys worth in there!

Mine does okay if I put the lid down and leave the boot open - but the poor things don't always like the wind! lol!

blimey...what kind of a car are you driving there Karen...one with a lid? ;))

Lol! Fiat Barchetta - One of the most impractical cars that you can have when you live in the countryside and your hobby is the garden...but I did manage to get six bags of bark chippings in it once!
