Spritzhenry's Garden again ("garden of the week!")

another beautiful blog/photos Sheila, Spritz certainly has a beautiful garden, thanks for sharing them.

lovely pictures, lovely garden
now can you help me please sheila ~ how do you get the photos from a mobile onto the computer? ~ i had a new mobile last week and i havent worked it out.

Beautiful garden. I'd like to know that too Sticki.

Thats wonderful Sheilabub, and a great view of the cottage (which you approach over a little bridge with a brook running under) and the mass of Albertine roses that cover over a third of the front! Great border pics also.

i know you have to plug it in ~ i can do that bit but then it asks some question that i dont understand cinderella

I won't be able to answer the "questions" Sticki and Cinderella, but I asked OH. He said there is a cable which you attach to the mobile, and plug the other end into the computer (just as with the camera). After that, magic! The pictures download themselves . . . I have NO IDEA how, but wish you luck. :)

i have done that but the magic doesnt happen!! thanks tho!

Did you switch your phone on Sticki?

More delightful photo`s, thankyou...

lovely photos of a gorgeous garden. Spritz has worked extremely hard and had to replace so many plants after the hard winter. amazing how quickly it has recovered.

Thanks, Sheila and your OH! He got our back views then - I didn't know he was doing that...hmmmm...lol.

The Poached Egg plants are Limnanthes douglasii and once you've grown them, you've got them, as they seed themselves. :-) Insects love them - and I do too.

I have a packet of seeds of pure white ones - I'm not sure whether they'll have the same impact, though, without the yellow centres.

Sbg - I bet everyone saw the very poorly Hebe - we hung a notice on it to say it would be next for the chop! Poor thing. It has to go, though. :-((

Yes, I have worked hard to get the garden back up to NGS standards. I'm so pleased that our visitors enjoyed it, and hope the new planting 'blends in' with the old.

yes tet my phone was switched on!!!

it looks a beautiful garden spritz, i can see how hard you have worked ~ its a credit to you.

Thanks, Sticki. I seem to have spent quite a long time on my hands and knees over the last two or three weeks. LOL. I had a day off today - and went to see three village gardens elsewhere. Nice to see what other people do with their gardens! I was actually upright for a change. ;-))

that sounds a very good idea ~ i have been out to a different garden today ~ ashwood nursery ~ but 'john's' garden was also open ~ what a treat!! i could have stayed all day and taken a 1000 photos!!

Sticki, I had probs downloading some pics from my camera the other day..and would you believe, my puter date was incorrect and it wouldnt accept pics because of it.
Im sure phone was on Sticki..I keep thinking people do the daft things I do lol!

Regarding downloading pics from a mobile, if you have bluetooth on your phone and your pc it is very easy to do, but both must be activated to use this facility, if you need any help I can pm you.
Thanks Sheila's OH for some new pics of Barbaras lovely house and cottage.
Sticki have you any photos yet of Johns garden?

Oh dear, do I owe you an apology, Spritz? Perhaps I should have asked you before putting on OH's pic of us . . . shall I take it off??

Thanks for naming the Limnanthes douglasii - self-seeding will be a bonus!

No, of course you don't, Sheila! No probs at all. :-))

You'll have no trouble getting the Limnanthes to germinate - get some seeds soon. They'll flower later this year!

That's a relief - if we had been face front I wouldn't have included the photo. :) That's amazing about the Limnanthes - I shall get some this week - thanks!

hi dotty daisy ~ thank you ~ i think the phone has bluetooth but not sure if the computer does.??? how can i find out??

sorry for the delay in the photos ~ i do hope they come out ~ still waiting for my camera to come back but took lots with OH camera ~ this means that i have to wait for him to put them on his computer then transfer to mine!! sorry ~ will do it asap. went to devon yesterday and today as my mum needed me to do a couple of things; back now ~ so will try to do pictures. it was a truly lovely garden ~ its open again in october ~ for NGS.

Thank your OH for these extras Sheilabub. I would love to know what those little daisies are which seemed to be everywhere. I laughed at your little notices Spitz especially the one about the lawn at the front. All of the planting looks so at home and welcoming. Your colour schemes look so natural and uncontrived I can see I have a long way to go to find a happy medium in my own garden. I have been demoted from head gardener by my grand daughter, she reckons I'm not a patch on Spitz. I can only agree.

good job your grandaughter cant see my garden scotsgran

dd ~ i have worked out the mobile photos and the camera.

Scotsgran - the little daisies are Erigeron . . . second name can be found on Tet's blog (I think).

Karvenensis is the second word Sheila/Scotsgran

:))

Almost, Tetra....it's 'karvinskianus'. ;-)))

Well.. whats a few extra vowels between friends...(not only do I need a new memory, knees and body..now its the eyes lol!! - I will NOT mention teeth)

No, please don't - a banned subject! Hey - I got asked for lupins today! I'll have to grow plants like that for next year - the less well-known ones didn't sell. :-(

Yes, Im discovering this. People say "whats coreopsis" or "whats a camassia/daylily/sibircan iris". They know the lupin/delphinium/gysophylia/canterbury bells sort of plant.
I wouldnt be at all surprised if they go away thinking..that woman must dig daisies up from her lawn and sells them!!!! So much for Erigeron Karvawatsis! lol!

Sheila, your OH has an 'eye'! Love this too and so pleased to be reminded of limnanthes..I used to have it in my old garden. Always one for the easy life...and you just scatter the seed...and Bob's your uncle...my sort of plant. I used to have nemophilla too, another very easy one, must buy seed for next year:-))

That nemophilla sounds a bit promiscuous BA, I should steer away from that if I was you lol!

No Tet, it always bred true, never put it about, they're like swans...mate for life...such innocent blue eyes:-)

Thanks Ba - I'll pass on your nice comment to OH. And I'll go and buy Limnanthes TODAY (Barbara says it will flower this year if sown now!).

Thank you Sheila, Tet and Spitz for the name of the Erigeron Karvinskianus.

You're welcome, Scotsgran. :-)

Funnily enough, I've got Nemophilla seedlings in the greenhouse - they're 'specials' with a black centre. Can't remember their other name. I MUST sow the white Limnanthes - if it stops raining.

Maybe you need to put little red sticks with numbers on or something near the plants you have in the garden which are available in the plant sales area. It is hard to know what you are looking at in the sales area and by the time you find out what the plant is that you like in the garden it is all a bit compicated, especially if you are not used to using latin names. White lymnathes sounds lovely as does the nemophilla. I have googled the Erigeron Karvinskianus and found it is a native of Mexico. Although it seeds everywhere it is also a perennial.

Your black eyed nemophila sound lovely Spritz...though they won't perhaps look so innocent...more adult blue eyes than baby. I'm going to find some poached eggs now too, white if possible, thanks Sheilabub:-)

You're welcome, Ba! Btw, I was looking for a packet of Limnanthes seed in the GC, couldn't find one, but they had a packet labelled "Poached Eggs"! In the photo the flowers looked very yellow, not quite right, so I didn't buy them.

It probably was them, Sheila. You know the pictures on the packets are misleading! It just goes to show they should put the latin name on as well, doesn't it.

Mmm, they definitely should!

I MUST sow a few of the white ones along the edge of that border by the fence, so I get some late flowers.

OK spritz, but you MUST sit down and have a rest soon!!

I didn't sow them. I read the seed packet, and it's too late now. I can sow them in trays in late summer ready for next year, though. :-)

I dozed off after I walked Henry today - I was too ambitious in the distance we walked. Zzzzzzzz... lol.

Beautiful garden, just found it this evening! Would love to contact you Spritz to talk Hardy geraniums but not sure how!
I was amused to see our homes share the same name though mine is in Ireland.
Thank you.

Have sent you a PM Elizabeth7.

Hallo Elizabeth 7 - I'm here! What would you like to talk about in particular? Thanks for the lovely compliment, and welcome to GOY. :-))

Why not pm me...
