Pond looking from the other side...

Looking good love your cloud tree.

It has taken many years to get that size....

Yes they take a long time to grow dont they but worth it in the end.

Glad the pot and tree survived. I think the Cloud tree looks nicer now the tops are more rounded, instead of clipped flat.

Oh yes...lovely!

Siris I will tell Peter, as he did the clipping this time!! thanks Karen, we are both pleased with the outcome....

Dotty is it Ilex Crenata ? (LOOKING GOOD)

Gg

Gnarly it is Buxus with a yellow edge.......it could be microphylla, it's way over twenty years old now......

thanks , and we all know if we won the lottery what would be on the list ...

Gg

Not me.......it wouldn't be the same as creating it yourself, it's the achievement GG!

I would lol ££££

Gg

It 's all looking lovely. Nice & full.

I agree with Dd. Its wonderful to see a designed garden. You can get some great ideas. But they lack the personal touch. There's no heart in them.

Karen

I only wanted a huge cloud tree ( have a look at seagrave nurseries ) now who wouldn't want one of those lol

Gg

Lol! Sorry Gg...I should pay better attention! Yes....hm....I don't think I would buy one of those either. The beauty is in the creating ...for me...but if you want to splash put...why ever not!

Thanks Feverfew........We would spend the money on a beautiful glasshouse Gnarly....one of those posh ones!! the most expensive plant I ever bought was our large tree fern, because I wanted instant impact......

A large greenhouse is a good asset to have. Somewhere to potter in the winter, and the large one we did have when we lived down the road before moving here, divided in the middle so we were able to keep one end of it heated.

My friend has just invested in a huge greenhouse...same make as mine Linda. And he has that...one end can be closed off so that will be the heated part. It's an excellent idea.

We have no room for the kind of GH my OH would like, so it's the conservatory and the porch I am afraid!

Nobody has the room for the Glasshouse they would like Angela! Lol!...or the funds! I would like one the size of the Eden project...and I could live in it! That would solve all my weather problems! ;)

Ha ha Karen!

Speaking of which...you should see the Area Organiser's glasshouse...its about half an acre! Lol!

When we farmed, we had a commercial GH, but all it grew were thousands of tomatoes, and was a nightmare to work in, the heat was unbearable, our local NGS big chief has a very pretty painted one with piped music, which would suit me!! not to grow anything just to sit in the warmth and enjoy the music...lol!!
