Very smart
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
The little tree is covered in baby plums. Been seeing dragonflies emerging from the pond over the last few days too.
Looks fab Steve
Love the rose.
What's the tall reed called?
Thanks.
On the right in the gravel bed surrounding the pond? It's a victoria plum on a very dwarfing stock.
Of course, if I wasn't blind then I'd have read that properly...
I can't recall, the labels were all in a box that went awol when I was clearing the greenhouse ready for its replacement...
Ah, blindness. I've heard what causes that.
I'm too old for that type of nonsense!
I'd certainly hope not!
I'd be over the moon if I had dragonflies in the pond - how cool
I might keep an eye out for that reed although I suspect my pond is too small for anymore plants...
How lovely
We watched dragonflies laying eggs around our pond last year, so are awaiting further developments ...........
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Amazing. I had to sort out one of the pots in the pond that had fallen over and to my delight I spied a newt in the pond! My other half thinks I am nuts to be quite so excited but this makes all of my effort, sweat and aches worthwhile!
