Nice to hear that people will save trees/plants and re plant them. I like that. Always interesting when people put plants in hedgerows, there's a clematis growing by our local McDonald's in a council hedgerow! I can't imagine the council planted it!

Cooler here today too. I'm just about to go out in the garden. What sapling was planted Jan? I think trees are fab. We have a deciduous pine tree at the front of our houses. It's the wrong tree really as the needles get everywhere, but I love it. I do a lot of sweeping when it sheds.

Sounds like youndid a lot in an hour. I've moved a few pots around today, some tidying, that's about it. The weather was a lot cooler here today!

Did you get your bedding plants from your friend Jan?

Not a great pic but I thought I'd post it. Sorry, pic didn't load!!!!!!

Oh, OK, mine is on a kind of shady position, that's probably why it is flowering so well.

I think I have Nelly moser. It's a large flower. They are very nice. Mine are in pots growing over a bamboo frame.

Oooh, thanks dave m, I will look those up in a minute with a cup of tea!

I've got the same colour as you, but the blackberry colour is nice. I like the French marigolds too, they last.

Tinpot and Dave M, I have both of those clematis, very nice large flowers. I wonder what the clematis with the largest and smallest flower's are called? I'll have to look it up. I'm going for a shower. You never know, the forum may have furnished me with a answer by the time I get back!!

I like the verbena Jan, the flowers last for a while.

The weather has been lovely here today. I've managed to re-pot some house plants. Done some tidying in my garden too.

You must be pleased with that DHA flowering, it's nice when something actually works! Gives you faith!

I don't know, I suppose if the pansies grow in the cold they will grow in the warmer weather too, if that's how it works?

Changing the subject, Bourganvilliea. I had one in a pot last year, bought it in over winter, itlooks fabulous. I've now got one that is a mix, I'm really looking forward to seeing it grow. Has anyone got any tips for keeping these plants?

I've just zoomed in, I can see the resemblance to the geranium leaf.

Always wanted to.live in an old cottage, small but with a large back garden. Wonderful. Great location where Jan (if I may use her name) is, that lovely field opposite too.

I've just looked at street view, Windermere fields, looks lovely. I can see some of the cottages too, I love those old cottages, full of character. Nice to learn about such things pjm, thank you.

Yes, sounds like a great effort. I'd love to have something like that nearby and give them a hand.
