Scotney Castle...Just Stunning!

Imagine that! Ruin in your garden. Endless opportunities!

Yes, it's a slightly bigger garden than mine though!

But Paul...if your garden was this big, you would have no time to work! Sigh...one can but dream!

As it is Karen, I'm struggling to do mine and my customers' gardens...poor ol' devil!!

know the feeling. it took me ages today just to feed the pots and the roses. I used up all the tomorite and had to go and buy more! Honestly, it's not a cheap hobby is it?!

Erm...no, I didn't feed the roses with Tomorite, only my pots. I um'd and ah'd about what to use on the roses and eventually plumped for bone meal, so I could fork it in to stop the dog eating it! She had to go to the vet today with another bad tummy after eating lord knows what in the garden!

Oh dear, our Paddy used to do that..keep picking things up and eating them.Not been quite so bad recently, fingers crossed!
I would think bone meal best for roses! Spring and mid summer!

Thank you...will do it again in July then.....although, that could turn out to be autumn at this rate! I'm wondering whether I will get any roses this year. Last year the black spot was so appalling that I hard pruned them all in an attempt to get rid of it, but now with the cold they are hardly growing some of them. time will tell......

Beautiful, like from some novel of Bronte sisters. Love it! ;-)

Yes, I know what you mean Katarna, although a long way from where those novels set.....but a very beautiful place!!

Paul, I was surprised to read that this was gift from your son? How old are you? On avatar you look like 26 year old guy!

Wow, I hope this was not impolite...is age of man secret? No!

Oooooh, I like you Katarina ....ha ha!! no I'm not 26! I wish I was! My eldest son is 29 today(14th May) but my youngest son who bought the gift is 23......I am 54 .....not a secret(although, that avatar picture is nearly 2 yrs old!)

I am just few years younger, so we are almost contemporary. Nice sons. You are a glad man.

Like all sons, Katarina, they are nice.....SOMETIMES !!

That's a lovely shot Paul, very romantic with the ruin :o)

Thanks anella....beautiful place!

very scenic Paul, lovely :o)
