Noddy!

My brother arrived tuesday evening to edge the long border .It was very windy and i felt sorry for him;( But he got it done and the difference it makes is amazing !

On another note ,i was watering my orchids this morning and sean asked me when was i going to plant them in the garden!!!

kitty 12 May 2013 17:16:38

can i hire him out for weeding and edging too tina? lol

Jacinta 12 May 2013 17:20:26

Very kind of your brother, Tina. It looks like he's lost in his own world.

Rachel 12 May 2013 17:33:53

Hahahahahahahahahaha :D

Send you're brother up here please!

Myrtle 12 May 2013 17:49:13

What a good brother!

andyf7 12 May 2013 19:44:25

id say he is a good brother, because he has a good sister.

Scrubber 12 May 2013 20:03:50

Aw Andy always the kindest word! Edging makes a huge difference though Tina doesnt it. I learned that n Bill's. (I believe gabriel is a great edger!) I always seem to have it on the long finger but tomorrow i am going to edge the rose border, recalim it from the daffs and forget me nots and then I shall have a pristine lawn again.

TheH (Hazel) 15 May 2013 14:53:26

Pond

04 May 2013 20:47:43

Another dry and very windy day here in the south east

I finally persuaded Sean to help me finish the pond.It was too windy for him to go fishing! Pretty pleased with the end result

Jacinta 04 May 2013 20:51:38

Wow! I love the effect of all those cobbles.

Jackie 04 May 2013 21:10:27

That looks just amazing. Love all the stones around it. Beautiful.

Tina that looks really great - it is so nice to get a bit of help are the cobbles piled up on top of each other it is a really nice effect

Weigela

03 May 2013 17:36:51

Weigela

I took a few cuttings from my mams last summer

Two rooted for me

I gave one to rachel

I think it is weigela ,but am not certain.Any ideas?

Pwiseman 03 May 2013 20:30:03

Gorgeous plant and i was looking through your photos some lovely planty and i especially like the photo of the primulas

Jackie 03 May 2013 20:39:21

I wish I could take cuttings like that and be so successful.

Lovely photos.

andyf7 03 May 2013 22:09:22

they are so varied, but the flower looks weigela to me.

JoanG 03 May 2013 23:40:22

Don't know enough about weigela to say for sure Tina, but it's lovely and so are all the photos in your album. The mulch sets off the plants beautifully.

TheH (Hazel) 04 May 2013 22:58:50

It looks very like Weigela to me! I have a dark red one and a variegated one and have successfully slipped the variegated one - that reminds me - need to check if the red one has come back this year !

Mulch

01 May 2013 20:47:28

Mulch

Got the last of the mulch down today,six cubic metres in total.I feel like i have been run over by a truck,but happy that its done

I planted some more on the banks.my banks seem to devour plants!

I also did a bit of weeding and watered my persicaria

Scrubber 01 May 2013 20:58:21

Wow and how your plants will benefit from such feeding! Re run over by truck, Scrubber feeling much the same-wonder was it the same one!

Jacinta 01 May 2013 21:11:11

Gosh, Tina, your garden looks sooooo neat.

Pwiseman 01 May 2013 21:27:27

That looks great Tina, very tidy looking.

fran m 01 May 2013 21:32:27

Looking great ;-))

JoanG 01 May 2013 22:00:02

It looks fantastic Tina and lovely planting too, well done.

Rachel 01 May 2013 22:40:02

The bark against the stone in the second photo looks really nice. Have a long hot bath! You deserve it.

kitty 01 May 2013 23:08:38

well done you have done a brilliant job

Keego 01 May 2013 23:21:30

Your beds look fab now after been freshly mulched. I always give a big sigh of relief when this is done every year as it is such a big job but once done it leaves everything so much easier for the rest of the year Good for you.

TheH (Hazel) 02 May 2013 01:54:27

Jackie 02 May 2013 18:29:56
