I was actually recently looking on Ebay for a replica and maybe a trough for a really boring part of my garden. They are hard to come by now.Unahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398380737025120541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-91488609816254127142021-05-16T22:15:20.059+01:002021-05-16T22:15:20.059+01:00Thanks.

My front garden is orange and yellow with a touch of purple to surprise. Still a long way to go but I am happy with the way it is coming together. Looks like you have put a lot of work into your new garden already.

Absolute favourite of those is Emperor Wu. My garden peony and several roses are all in bud and just need some sun and warmth for them to explode. Solomon’s seal is looking fab and the bees are wanting the flowers to open.<br /><br />Your apron is fabulous. I shall go and have a look at the pattern. Thank you for sharing.

It's a member of the cornflower family (I had to look the official name up!), and I have several clumps in my rather neglected front garden which return faithfully year after year after year. They're currently giving the bluebells a run for their money in the 'gorgeous blue flower' stakes, and they would probably weather the weather on your ridge too, because they are clearly made of stern stuff!Little Dorrit does...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02686843403676483228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-36900399248800139182021-05-16T13:00:18.824+01:002021-05-16T13:00:18.824+01:00I am dilly dallying over a wisteria - I am a bit t...I am dilly dallying over a wisteria - I am a bit too impatient!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668713514058875484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-46363686225609268242021-05-16T12:59:08.812+01:002021-05-16T12:59:08.812+01:00Oh yes dicentra, I don't have on of those but ...Oh yes dicentra, I don't have on of those but they are gracious.

I am slightly obsessed with orange flowers at the moment, I've put in some orange sweet peas (Prince of Orange) so we'll see how they do. They're skulking around at the bottom of the canes at the moment, which is quite usual for this time of year. I'm loving the box at the moment, it's so bright and fresh with lots of new growth. Also the wisterias. There's a white one around the window where I work which I spend quite a lot of the day staring at :) Still waiting for the rain to fill up the wildlife pond after I cleaned it out. It's almost done, so hopefully the newts and frogs have recovered from the upset. Hope you have a lovely Sunday with a bit of gardening time.

I know all about gardening higher up; we used to live in Picklescott although not as exposed as you and we could see the weather approaching the back garden. Now we live just across the border and our soil is heavy clay so I grow tulips in pots. I shall definitely be looking at Farmer Gracy's site. I have a "hot bed" and one for pinks, blues, purples and whites. At the moment my favourite flowering plant is a small pink fern leaved dicentra - I don't remember planting it but it is very slowly spreading and flowered for months last year. Happy gardening! PS love the apron.jeanbythestreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035971858455810315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225566259581748208.post-10017526218148858162021-05-16T07:56:58.241+01:002021-05-16T07:56:58.241+01:00What beautiful tulips, I dithered over Farmer Grac...What beautiful tulips, I dithered over Farmer Gracy offers but next year I’ll definitely buy some. I love your apron, I made one for sewing in and it’s great for stopping me being covered with little bits of thread which I don’t notice until I am out somewhere!
