first blog

Hi Taz. I don't think I've seen you before, but my powers of observation are diminishing with age ...
It is not compulsory for you to send a message when someone adds you to their favs. However, I do because I think it's polite, .... but that's just me. I don't think anyone would repremand you for not doing it.
Most gardens seem to have little colour this year. Mine is overgrown and weedy lol and it's getting on my nerves. I hope this summery weather will last a while. I want to get on with things.
I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed Tatton Park and bought a plant. Only one ? lol Never mind - as you say, there's next time :o)

Hi Taz, lovely to hear from you,. I don't write many blogs but really enjoy reading others and commenting. Everyone takes part in different ways and occasionally go off topic which is fun especially on some of the grim grey days we've had!. You're not alone finding it hard to get out there, it hasn't been a year to be enthusiastic.......folk have lost lovely plants to flooding, disease and the pesky pests......., all this rain should hopefully make for lovely trees and shrubs....next year?. :0)

Hi Taz great to hear from you I'm the same I don't write
many blogs but love reading others and sometimes leaving a comment .Has'nt it been awful this year it's more like jungle gardening than anything else hopefully thing will improve ..........glad you enjoyed Tatton show
and the willpower to only buy 1 plant !!!!!!! still as you say there is always another day lol:o))

Hi Taz,
I'm new to all this too, so glad to hear someone else is finding their feet.
I live in New Zealand and it is our winter, so I can definitely sympathise with you in feeling despondent!
I have no idea what Tatton show is, but I like to hang out at garden centres, and very rarely do I leave without a plant :)

welome to blogging taz!! and welcome to GoY Teresa!

my garden seems to have grown masses of weeds and im sure i have planted nearly everything in the wrong place but never mind, i like being busy!!!

have a look at Teegee's latest blog teresa and taz ~ he has some brilliant photos of the Tatton show.

Hello, Taz. I don't blog or post pics often, either, but I enjoy reading and looking, getting ideas for new plants, especially.
I'm thoroughly fed up with my garden this season, too. It's very green but not much else. Slugs everywhere. Ah, well .............

At least we only get slugs Oji.... Abrayton from Wyoming found a rattlesnake in hers the other day.. ugh!

........and others get deer and rabbits and porcupines. So, yes, Pam, in the scheme of things, I really shouldn't be complaining.

I feel really guilty about complaining about my garden when so many have had the floods to contend with,I can soon plant another plant with out to much fuss. I still curse the weather though, and feel a little sorry for myself

welcome to Goy, get some pics on : )

I've just found this, Taz, and your photos. I love your pond, and the urn at the top of the steps. I hope you continue to enjoy GoY!
