Excellent work. Loving the bonsai especially.

Thanks Tim,if it's a very cold winter they go into the greenhouse, but this year's it's not been that cold so left then outside.

Cracking John, you sure have the green fingers!! You and Christine must love sitting there with a nice cuppa.

Would show my garden but it's been used to shoot a film on the Somme!

Yes we do indeed Bob. Facing south is brilliant , we have the sun go from left to right .
Well you have those springs so can understand the difficulty.

The garden is looking great John.
I used to do bonsai. I had some nice ones started from young plants. Ten years in and they went tits up.

Sad Ian, did they dry out? That's a common cause of loss, that and not root pruning. We lost a beautiful Maple , was perfect when we went out , dried out fully and died by the time we came back !

A very nice little garden John.

Thanks Ian ,just the right size these days .

JOHN jen loves your garden an says vvery well done

What you need is a nice easy maintenance garden, lots of hard stuff and a bit of green that only needs cutting!!! More time for the fun things in life - like not getting yer fingers chewed by the newest furry arrival!

Most of them yes. A good sunny day and it was game over! A few had the roots eaten away by insects!

Thats a lovely garden John.I live in a flat without a garden and sooo wish i had a little spot to sit.I used to have an allotment when i was at home and i had a little area to grow my Asters and dahlias etc.Think i gave most away to others to make sprays for their homes.Mum and dad grew the veg and i was the digger!!.

Is that the same idea that Mrs L has, she comes up with all the plans and I end up doing all the donkey work, and when its finished she sits in the garden to enjoy the work, whilst I (who cannot stand sitting around in the sun, doing nothing) clear off and carry out any plans she has for the interior of the house....

Hi John, that is a lovely tranquil space you have there. We don't have much of a flower garden, they are mostly in pots, but this is the wife's current favourite. The Honeysuckle is in full bloom.

Honeysuckle is in full bloom.

They are too on my Farm but mine are wild probably no difference they smell so good down by the barn.
