Hi Dee love your new kitchen! your garden looks great very exotixc, its a pity you lost so many plants but it was a very severe winter and perhaps you will have to get Hubby some nice lightwieght shoes lol

Hi Dee love your kitchen Also love your night lights in the garden It all looks very neat and tidy

Wow you have been very busy love your kitchen.

Welcome back was wondering what had happened to you ..The kitchen looks superb and so does the garden ..
Now take some time to enjoy them..:o >)))

Nice to see you back Daisy. the garden and kitchen look great. we all had some plant losses, even down here in the soft south. I lost all my clematis on fences, the ones in pots did ok. lets hope for a better summer, but even if we dont get it you can retire to your gleaming new kitchen. : o))

Welcome back Dee and can see you've both been very busy with the stunning kitchen and beautifull garden. Could sit out there all evening and just admire esp with them lights. Can only imagine what it looks like as the camera never does it justice to what its actually like. Sorry to hear about your plants and know how you feel. I've lost a few this year but more through slugs/snails and being my 1st garden didn't really know what would grow in my clay like soil.
Look forward to seeing more pics soon
Steve

Thanks for your comments Folks, lol pansypotter, I could see him standing on it but thought id better not say anything because it could of ended in an argument as he was really tired at the time..
Sorry to hear you lost your Clematis Mageth, Mine did OK, Coming into bloom any second, Lost a few pots tho :( mustn't of been frostproof..
Yeah steve the lights look much better than in the pic, I must of took about 20 pics to get one decent shot, Do you use Pellets for the snails? Ive tried everything there is to try and find there the only thing that works. as for the Ivy, Cut it back Hard, It can be a pest..

Yes pellets are the only way i've found. Harsh death for them but if they won't take the hint then thats there problem. Just removed 1 panel of ivy. Going to do a blog now on ivy.

Good to have you back, love the super kitchen, sorry you lost so many plants, it was a bad winter though. The garden still looks as good though....

Thanks DD, hows your tropicals doing?

YDD will put a pic on soon, it is all planted up, the bananas are in and the ginger lilies, not put in any of the palms though, will keep them in pots....just in case.!!

Ooh looking forward to seeing you garden DD..

Wont be long, so watch this space.....

Looking great YDD....inside and out:o))
