THE WISHING GARDEN

Brilliant. You are so clever with your blogs TT, and love the new garden. And of course Truffle and Conker with all their helpers.

Another great, fun blog, TT. That area is looking good! This has cheered me up on a miserable, cold, rainy day! So thankyou.

Thanks, Cinders, Homebird and Ojib ...
I'm glad I found a good place for the wishing well :o)

Lovely funny blog :-))

Another great Toonie Production Terra!
Great pics as usual and another fantastic job by your crew :)

Magic !
You have such a talent for lovely funny blogs, so enjoyable, thank you.

Hi TT love Gromits interview room :-)
Glad all recruits, Old & New, work well together to produce another wonderful corner of a magical garden.

Off to Peterborough Thursday to spend a few days with doggie friends at the Champ show. This year they are having the Agricultual show at the same time, so should be lots of fun :-)

Thankyou, Sharnford, Lil, Val and Willi ...
I was lucky that Gromit hired such a helpful crew.

Willi .. have a great time at Peterborough Champ. Show ..
... I'm sure you'll quickly find the Affenpinscher ring ;o)

Brilliant! Love the way Gromit oversees the bathing and selection process of the new recruits....and its good when workmen get a wash before dinner! :D

btw, I 'wish' my Lime Marmalade looked like that! :D

Another brilliant blog Terra and I was just going to ask the same thing as Meadowland! They are obviously well trained! And thats just for cutting the grass! lol.

love this! keep it coming......;-)

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.
I really appreciate that.

Meadowland and Rose ... Lol. .. there are some areas of clover in the lawns, but the small bees like those, so I leave them. If Truffle has a sudden hectic rush-around, he usually chooses to do that indoors, so it is my rugs and not my lawns which suffer !

Karen .. I bought that Heuchera from a different GC I'd not visited before... and it was inexpensive ... so I'll be going there again !

Thank you Susan, and welcome again to GoY ..
looks like you have a lovely doggie garden helper ;o)

You've both reminded me about the dogs and the loo. I have a substantial area of bark chippings in front of my shed where Molly is allowed to 'go'. She is very good and most often goes there, even sometimes when I am not looking! However, on Saturday, I was outside and openened up her crate to let her come out in her own time. When she eventually caught up with me (I was gardening of course) she looked really unwell, ears down, moving slow and just off colour...so I gave her lots of cuddles and all that and she still didn't seem right, so I started to get worried....then....five or ten minutes later, I found it!! A poo laid right on my lawn!! Little Miss....she 'knew' fine she had been naughty and was just being sheepish, and of course it was far too late to tell her off! JR Terriers...clever little b*****s let me tell you!! :D

What a wonderful blog! Thank you, it made me smile lots on this wet, grey day! Some lovely photos too and your garden looks wonderful. xx

Oh, Karen ... poor Molly .. who could tell her off when she was feeling so guilty .. Lol.
... my dogs automatically use the gravel areas of the dog run.

Hi Pita .. Thanks ...
Today is certainly rather grey outdoors ! xx

Wonderful :o)))

Hi G.Gem ... Thank you :o)))

The rain may be pouring, the umbrella may be dripping, the flowers are looking so sad but are we down hearted? No, not now that we have seen your wonderful blog, it has brought smiles to all our faces! Thank you.

Thank you Wildrose for such a lovely comment, which has brought a smile to my face. :o)

lovely blog Terra - brilliant wildlife photos and a very well presented garden !!! love how you have done your pebbles

Wow Terra you have certainly got the A Team keeping your garden so beautiful, they are amazing garden designers too, Three Cheers for the A Team [do you hire them out;0)]

Thanks, Paul ...
It's fun working with stones and pebbles, isn't it.
I love how you've used concrete and cobbles etc. in your garden.:o)

Hi Carole ...
Team Terra is available for hire, especially if you have sunny weather up there ! ;o)

Brill blog and photos think your wishing garden looks lovely, love to the boys.

Terrific Team Terra \0/. \0/. \0/.

your photographs are wonderful Terra xxx

Thanks Carol. Glad you like this.

Hi Pam !
Thank you.
My team worked hard on this project ;o) xxx

Team Terra does it again!!!
Super blog everybody - and TT for uploading it for you all :)
That wishing well area looks spectacular TT - I love it. So neat and tidy too.
What a great bunch you all are :))

Thank you Scottish for such kind words ...
The heuchera in the well is growing fast, so I might have to find a different plant to go in there soon.

... and I realise I should pay you royalties for use of the term "Team Terra" ... lol. ;o)

great blog, great photos, great wishing garden and what a great team! :-)))))

Hi Lijemc ...
Thanks for your lovely comments :o)))

Lovely blog , Tt , thank you .

Hi Driad ... thanks ...
I'm pleased you enjoyed the blog.

I really think I need Team Terra here to educate Brynner, he spends his time removing my shells from the beach area and has this year decided to widdle on the flowers instead of in the dog run, grrrrrrr.
A lovely blog Terra, very amusing and the pics are smashing as always, your garden looks lovely, thats a nice view from the windows, its a right miserable, drizzly day here but at least my battered lawn will recover quicker after getting a drink so not all bad....

Hi Sue ...
Brynner rearranging the shells ? Sounds like he is trying to make something new in the garden, to go on GoYpedia 'Design Ideas' ? ;o)

I'm pleased you like the new view from my windows. Yes, everyone's lawns are much greener this year, than in previous dry summers ...

Excellent and so funny!!

Hello Sheila ... thank you :o)

You have a way with making up blogs that puts the rest of us in the shade! LOL! I loved this blog & all the things your "boys" do for you! The Wishing Well garden looks fabulous & the view from your bedroom window is just wonderful - how I'd love to be able to look out of the bedroom window & see something like that!

Thank you, Balcony ...
The Wishing Well view is visible from all the back windows of my house. I'm pleased the design has worked out nicely. :o)

Another great blog and another lovely look round your garden. I love Federer Frog, took me a while to get there as I'm not into tennis but then the penny dropped! I really think Truffle was right, a nice flowerbed in the middle of centre court would be perfect. Now why didn't they think of that at Wimbledon? :)

Hello TT
You're very fortunate to have all those helpers. That patch of your garden is now looking very nice :o)
They've all worked very hard ...

Everything always looks so beautifully well kept in your garden Terra and there always seems to be a bit of sunshine. :))

Your blogs are so well narrated with lovely pictures. I love your garden.new addition “wishing garden” has done beautifully:))

Brilliant blog terra the new garden is looking lovely. Must say you have a fantastic team there excellent job. How much do they charge??? :-)

Brilliant blog Terratoonie! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Really Brilliant !!!!
Terra can I ask what kind of camera you use, and do you buy your heuchera's from garden centres .

Another great production :o))))))))

TT you and your team have acheived a beautiful garden area, we all wish we had one just like that!! loved your fabulous blog and pictures, the shower one is stunning,
had a chuckle at federer frog and your boys on centre court a topical touch to raise a smile on this wet old day
thank you for such a cheery treat :o)

HWat a lovely happy blog..really cheered me up ::) Thos dogs are jsut ace helpers! love the birdbath pics! wonderful! :))))))

Thoroughly enjoyed that :) kudos all round! Great pics and great narration. X

No need for Royalties. Just keep those blogs coming :) we all enjoy them!

LOL my doggie helper is a bit naughty,shes helps by digging behind the conifer and burying my shoes/slippers! love your blog.

What a wonderful team and garden your have

Thank you for your wonderful comments ...

Gee, Hywel, Pim, Shahida, Sam, Michaella, Kidsgran, Stroller, Neena, Pixi, Magna, Mark J&J, Susan, and Parakeet ...

Kidsgran .. yes the heucheras are from garden centres.

So far, with the help of Federer the Frog, I'm managing to steer Truffle clear of planting my shrubs on Centre Court ;o)

and answering Mark ...
... a very reasonable rate of Bonios per hour ;o)

Sorry.. that last bit should say "answering Samjp" ..
She asked about the rate per hour.. Lol.

Alas Terra no sun, just rain, will let you know when the weather improves;0))

Sunshine soon, we hope :o)))

Just how come I am way down the list of comments...again ? I don't know how I keep missing things....I'm never off here ! I only found it after commenting on your pic,Terra..and now I KNOW it's a Heuchera in the wishing well.duh ! A lovely blog,and love your new design..the boys have excelled themselves as usual..with so much enthusiasm....love the birdie pics too..:o)

Hi Sandra ...
When lots of blogs are being published at the same time, they disappear off the main GoY page very quickly !
Glad you like this one :o)))

Fab Blog Terra. Gorgeous garden. Your two put mine to shame they are so lazy :o))

TT your garden is so so beautiful and of course thanks to all your helpers.

Just perfect:)

Thanks N3 and Scotkat for your lovely comments :o)

Such an entertaining read, TT. It reminded me of Disney's Snow White, where all the woodland creatures assist with the housework. You have a lovely team of helpers there; good job with the recruitment process, Gromit. You have a wonderful view from the window now, always enhanced by the ever-present and ever-gorgeous Truffle and Conker.

Thank you, Tuesdaybear for such wonderful comments.
Yes, I like to think of all the garden creatures helping in my tasks.

Quite a lot of my blogs are along those lines .. Lol.
One blog is centred around gnomes ...
... called "The Queue for the Loo". ;o)

Truffle and Conker send hugs to you :o)

Just wonderful TT. Love this blog and your birdie photos are fab. so well caught too. I really like blackbird splashing about there. As for your 'helpers', priceless!

Thanks Grandmage ...
I'm lucky to have so many helpers ;o)
I hope you're adjusting nicely to your new weekly routine !

I love reading your blogs...such fun and great pictures! Your garden looks beautiful as always. :-)

Hi John... Many thanks :o)))

hahaha love this TT your lawn is like a carpet and the edges are immaculate, Loving the Wishing garden but most of all I love your dogs, there happiness shines through, they are a credit to you, Dee x

Bit belated, but thank you for the hugs, Truffle and Conker.

I wish I had all the helping hands/paws/claws that you have Terra, then maybe my garden would be as lovely and as neat as yours. Great blog:-)

Lol. Tuesdaybear ... a definite bear-hug. ;o)

Thank you, Bornagain.
I'm pleased you like this blog.
I couldn't manage my gardening without my wonderful helpers :o)

Brilliant Terra, gave me a nice smile on my face for early morn...

Hope you're watching the Final today, what a brilliant Wimbledon this year...and we'll be back for the Tennis Olympics too, woopee...

Hi Sue ..
Thanks. We all love the tennis, especially Crocus the budgie, who gets very excited watching the TV matches, rushing around bashing all his bells and toys. And, yes, Tennis Olympics coming up. Does MopTop like the TV ?

Wonderful blog Terra. The boys are such hard workers. They could help at Wimbledon preparing the courts for The Olympics tennis. Those 4 ladies last night, played awesome tennis. Wonder if Conker and Truffle could give them a game or two? Pouring down here in Essex. Looks like a pond in the road opposite.

Thanks Dorjac ...
I'm glad you like this ...
If the Wimbledon Centre Court groundsmen need extra help getting the grass prepared, Conker and Truffle are ready with their mowers and brushes ;o)

No Terra, Moptop just sings, most of the time, and spends a lot of time looking out at the garden, and answering the Garden Birds...

Sad about Andy yesterday, wet eyes all round, still there is no shame in losing to a 7 times Wimbledon Grand Slam Champion...At least we got the Doubles Mens Championship...
Tho the brits crashed out in Formula 1...also, ah well, keep on trying...

that's lovely Terra, you've done a fantastic job there and nice to see your helpers pitching in :-))

Hi Sue ..
Tell Moptop to get in tune, ready for the Olympics ;o)

Thank you, Surreylad ...
I'm more than pleased with the Wishing Garden because it is such a central feature from my back windows... and, yes, I was lucky to have so much help ;o)

Fantastic blog Tt.....and the Lime Marmalade Heuchera is stunning, love the colour....think I may have to get one or two or three.....:o)) Lovely pics, and doggies all helping, you do train them so well! Really enjoyed it!

Thanks Janey.
I'm pleased you enjoyed this blog. The colour of Lime Marmalade certainly is very eye-catching. Brightens up the garden.
Yes, I'm lucky to have such good garden helpers !

Loved the blog and loved the wishing garden even more! You are so talented!!

Thank you Wannabe ..
Very kind comments ..
I hope you're enjoying a lovely sunny day in Kent :o)))

lovely blog! and such satisfying results. hope it survived the recent storms

Thanks Fran ..
My home is on high ground, so no trouble with the rainy season ! Very nice to see someone commenting on my past blogs, so thank you for visiting :o)

was going thorugh "feature ideas" on GoYpedia, can't think how I missed this before!

I'm on fairly high ground too, or at least higher ground than the nearby brook! but, swings and roundabouts, also get more wind

Less baked beans is often a quick cure ;o)

Terra !!!

lol TT, or else get a kite!

I did leave myself open for that, didn't I ...

Lol. :o)))
