Lol. Shirley ... A "good hair day" ...
Yes, no breezes to ruffle Conker's coat .. :o)

Hi TT! Your garden is breathtaking!! It shows every ounce of love and attention that you obviously lavish on it!! In fact it's so lovely I went out and bought a mixed packet of aubretia seeds and sowed them, and just today I pricked out 25 little seedlings!! Too many d'ya think!? Nope! I don't think so either! Can't wait to see what colours they are!
I had tried 4 times to send you a pm last night, I was so concerned about you, and I finally thought it had gone through but it obviously hasn't. I was able to pm Sticki, so I don't know what's happened. I just hope you had a happier day and know I'm thinking of you and your little furrys and feathers, take care pet, be happy... sending more calm vibes! ((hug!)) (bark!) (chirrup!)

Hi Libet ...
Thanks for trying so many times to send me a pm... as far as I know the messages are getting through from other members, so it is a bit strange isn't it !

Well done on growing aubrieta from seeds ... I tried last year, but not very successful ... I hope you get some good colours !

Thanks for the calm vibes... peace is what we need !!!
<hugs> from Conker and Truffle ...
... Crocus says you are very tweet. x

As usual, TT your garden is absolutely glowing with colour - you must be really proud of it - it really is a picture - Well Done !

Hi Whistonlass ...
Thanks for visiting again..
I've told Conker all about lovely Lucy :o) x

Terra, I've just been showing our grandaughter the photos of your garden and Conker and she has just said.."wow, is this lady famous?" When I said no, she answered, "well she should be famous because of her pretty garden and everyone knows about her."

Iona (grandaughter) is 7 yrs. old....out of the mouths of babes eh? :) This should put a smile on your face, Terra.

Iona ... that put the best smile on my face I've had for l-o-o-o-o-o-ong time ...thank you :o)))

Have you seen my blog where my dogs have lots and lots of watering cans ?

Hi Skilla ...
Thanks ... Conker says hi to Rocky :o)

What a wonderfully colourful garden you have Conker, I wished I could walk past it early in the morning to breath in all that beauty and perfume people in your road are so lucky to benefit from it all without having to do any work, well done you.

Hello Sheil15 ~
Thanks ... very kind words ..
Conker would love to have you walk past his garden ...
... early morning or any time :o)))

those colours are breathtakin you obviously spend a lot of time in the garden its real credit to you

Hi Jackie ...
... thanks for visiting Conker in his garden.
... and thank you for such kind words ... :o)

I don't think I have ever seen so much colour and variety of plants together in one garden,Terra,absolutely beautiful..and Harrogate flower show had nothing as good as this..I award Conker,and you,of course..a Gold medal,and a special merit certificate.! :o)))

Hi Bloomer...
... thanks for our special awards ;o)

Just magic. Don't know whether to give up now or be inspired!

Thanks you for the tour, what a magnificent feast of colours! Early mornings are so serene, a good time to enjoy the garden :)

Beautiful- so much colour! :-)

You are obviously able to spend hours in your garden. It is certainly worth the effort.
It's great to see your name appear on the new blog list. I always find it an inspiration to see just what is possible in a 'normal' persons garden.
Conker always adds to the atmosphere - I must get myself an advisor just like him!!!
Whistonlass - I thoroughly enjoyed the Watering Can Blog it is definately worth a visit.

Yes, I agree, Gillspec...our grandaughter has looked at the blog this morning and is even more in love with Conker and the beautiful garden :)

Thank you Steragram, Limpet, Red aly ...

Hi Oldcrock...
Thanks ... I'm pleased you like this :o)

wow! that looks so vibrant! i love the colours terra. you must have lots of passersby that stop and admire it.

Hi Tilly ... Thank you ..
Unfortunately there are few gardeners in my road ...

... so that's why I especially appreciate the GoY comments.

Oh for a flat lawn like that, TT :) Brilliant photographs, you had better patent your garden design or you might find it lifted and winning Gold at Chelsea. It is just stunning.

thank you for the invitation i would love to call again ~ you have a truly beautiful garden TT ~ it must be the envy of the neighbourhood!
such colour and so many different textures!

Love your gardens as always Terra :o)))) Give Conker a huge pat from me and Frances - happy gardening!

Thanks Gee, Buzzbee, Sticki and Pip ...
A few years ago I did some work and a small amount of design on a friend's garden at the end of my road .... so that still has a slight "look" of my garden, with aubrieta etc.

<hug> for Frances :o)

Thank you Conker for a lovely tour;-) do you help with weeding as well? lol

Exquisite - breathtaking colour - how thrilled you must be to walk out into that every morning - clever green fingers indeed - thank you for showing us around Conker =)))

Thanks Kasy and Cate ...
Conker works hard in his gardens :o)

and it pays off Tt-- I do admire Conkers skills--I need a good weeder-- does he charge by the hour-- I could lay in a supply of bonio's

Hi Pamg ~ Thanks ...
Conker is all ready with his garden tools ...
... to head towards the West Midlands ...
... Bonios by the hour please ;o)

oh good ~ is he coming my way too?

Hi Sticki ...
Conker has his Sheltie-nav set for Worcs too ;o)

excellent ~ bowl of bonios waiting conker!!
minty [cat] will be well out of the way.

Beautiful...I'm jealous. How many years did it take to create this garden?

Hi Cynthia ... Thanks ...
When I first worked on this front garden it was mostly lawn, and was overgrown with a plant which had sent out underground runners in all directions.

... the only way to go was to dig out all the areas which had been invaded by the rogue plant ... about half of the garden ! :o(

... so, much of my design started that way, and I've added plants gradually ... you could make something like this in just a few years ...

Its a beautifull display, you should be proud of it
sue

Thanks, Sue ...
I'm pleased with the colours ...

Stunning! ............only word needed.

What a glorious garden Terratoonie just awash with colour, and Conker look's so handsome :-))

Hello Sueb and Mavis ... Thanks ...

Absolutely beautiful! Lots of pretty colours!

Hi Greenfingers ... thank you...
