Our Wisteria 'tree'

20/5/2017

0 Comments

 
When we moved here there was a tree stump two meters high. We didn't know what to do with it but eventually decided to plant Wisteria at the bottom and see how it turns out. It very quickly grew to the top and now it looks like a deciduous tree in its beautiful autumn colours.
And - in the spring its covered in flowers, in summer its green and in winter gorgeous twisted branches. How versatile is that!

A Tree to Celebrate Myrtle

14/5/2017

Since we moved to Bickleigh Vale we have planted a tree for Karyn's sister, her Dad, and Chris's Mum and we have an orchid for his Dad.
​We realised we didn't have one for Karyn's Mum, Myrtle, who died 31 yrs ago last weekend. So yesterday we bought and planted a Crepe Myrtle in her memory.

Planting out the Mothers' garden

14/5/2017

We've finally finished this garden bed project that started last August by planting grevillias, brachyscomes, Isoplexiss and platysaces. Now we've got to wait patiently for them all to grow!
​(Must do something about that possum net over the espalier fruit trees in the background too - not very attractive.)
