Corseside summer update. :-)

Your onions leave me breathless! Wow is an understatement. Best of luck in the show. Your whole garden looks pretty exotic even though it must really catch the wind in winter.

thanks Stera they taste good too...we are looking forward to the show. its only a small one but such fun...

love my elephants Snoop. they were my mams idea, every time i trim them i think shes watching me. make me feel close to her.x

Lol, hadn't noticed they are elephants - aren't you observant Snoop?

Great to hear from you Sandra, and nice to see everything doing well :)
Glad you enjoyed Glastonbury ... !

Great to watch things grow, nice idea to take photos along the way

thanks Hywel i see your cacti have been magnificent again this year.

Pam i do like to chart their growth as it helps to gauge the growth the following year.

Snoop this year they are finally beginning to be proper elephants.

I don't remember ever seeing the elephants hedging before, I think its fabulous, made me think of a film called the Elephant Walk, great film, I hope yours don't go through your house Sandra, lol..
Your crops are huge, love your measuring stick, hope Julian did well with them and also that they taste as good as they look....
Lovely pics Sandra, its nice to see you all looking happy and enjoying yourselves...

thanks Lincs..the elephants have evolved in the last year. each time i cut them the become a little more defined. they had better not go walkies....
the onions taste divine...so crunchy and juicy..:-)

I love them Sandra, spotted them straight away then as I read down I noticed Snoop had as well, I've been trying to wrack my brain trying to remember where I've seen an elephant hedge before, I know its either a castle or one of the stately homes that we've visited, its annoying me so I'll have to check out my photo's albums and hope I can find it...

I would love to hear where they are could use some ideas for when i trim them next.

Great blog Sandra, and wow, that's amazing how you shrunk that lighter on the Marrow!;)

Sandra I just Googled topiary elephant hedge and there were several pics and some info!

lol Karen..it was a deflatable one....

so many great pics on google thanks...seems my elephants could do with some ears...

Just realised I didn't say where I saw the elephant hedge Sandra, it was at Rockingham Castle and is amazing....

OMG Lincs I just looked that up...I would love to see it for real...

Its not far from us Sandra, it really is fantastic..

I love looking at the big hedges and trees in old gardens. it's amazing the shapes they make.

Hi Sandra, hope your OK and just picked this blog to see how your doing, glad you've enjoyed a good summer at the nursery and nice to see your still doing Glastonbury, fab.
Just popping on to see if everyone on GOY is well and your gardens still flourishing xx
