I need to stabilise my version of a Japanese pergola and fit new slate etc..going to GC to look for a waterfall feature that suits and fits in to the surroundings (and it dont look out of place (Pachysandra would help soften the harsh lines thanks again @Perki )

 

[Perki]

Pachysandra...sounds like a plant for me...many thanks @Perki much appreciated (does it flower or just a foliage ground-cover plant)

They have little white flowers

Had some plants delivered today my clematis arrived ( Betty cornering - Walenburg - Picotee seedling ) and a few plants from secret garden club monarda scorpion cause mine don't look to be up to much, Acontium stainless steel and a lewisa for the greenhouse. Just been out and picked some strawberries and put the cardboard in the compost bin. I put nearly all the dahlia outside so they get a good watering from tomorrow rain forecast. Hopefully get them plant this Sunday.

Returned from the GC disappointed, want some plants for my summer planting scheme in the large pots / barrels but nothing I fancied.

Betty Cornering is pretty, @Perki ! I have picked strawberries for 2 days running, but they were small as I there has been very little rain.

So have I @alp............1 every day chopped them in half to share with hubs!!!!

It's quality not quantity......that's what I'm telling myself.

To make matters worse the first of my two strawberries had already been nibbled at, so we didn't actually get half each......but it was very tasty!!

First time I've attempted to grow them.....so I am proud of my 1and 3/4 fruits

Hehe! We are in good company, @Upsy Daisy ! I have ONE Tayberry for tomorrow! I thought I would have loads. Er, no! Just the one.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Hope you're going to share it with your son @alp

I did but he pulled a grimace. Actually, he only started thinking strawberries were edible after he had been to uni. Before he wouldn't touch them.

Good morning to all. Got up a bit early thinking it was 6am. It's so dark outside, but no rain!

Good Morning @Logan and all...Raining "Cats n Dogs" here as I got the lawn cut late last night and sprinkled some feed over it ....so it's very welcome.
Off to GC's this morning its raining so hopefully it wont be as crowded, we have some free meal tickets to use up so thats handy.

Pass the cream please

I'm also on the lookout for this plant for the greenhouse..I gifted my aunt whilst we were in Australia...

Just woken up again, so goooood morning to all!

Just used the 3rd last butt and emptied a packet of soluble MiraceGro into it. After 10 watering cans later, the sun shone like crazy .. I want some of those cats and dogs too, @Upsy Daisy !

I would happily accommodate a kennel and cattery full @alp

@Upsy Daisy Stop being my competitor! I need to study Hdye Hall planting again. This is too depressing whilst @BigC is whistling .. with fun and smugness!
