Topic: WIPED OUT

[Pesky Wabbit]

 I still can't think too hard about what it must look like now  :(

That's one reason I wont move.

The houses around here, when sold all go to 'none locals'. They don't appear to like gardens. Anything thats alive, they glyphosate and replace with wall to wall decking/patio with bit grass. Not a shrub or plant to be seen.

It would break my heart to see them do that to my garden.

I can see the garden of my old house whenever I drive past, a few times a month. it breaks my heart.

The first thing the new owners did was take up the weed surpressant on a 45 degree banking that had SERIOUS fern issues. What do you know, all my plants have been swamped and its a fern field now. All my shrubs are out of control and I cant see my cooking apple tree any more :'(

It was a garden I built from nothing, so was especially atatched to it.

Thankfully my previous house was a terrace, we sold it to a student's parents,
Can't see round the back though, probably for the best. Keeping that Silvan Bramble in check was a tough job... and those Jerusalem Artichokes...  ::)

Dont worry. I bet they are thriving now :o ;D

Hey Ace, would you like some mirabilis seed? I have lots of seed for mirabilis jalapa, hot pink flowers and lovely mid-green leaves.

I bet it would love your climate! Happy to send you seed if you'd like some.

A very kind offer, but I have a big border of tubers that come up every year, I know it was a big air frost but the ground should have been warm enough not to worry about whats underneath.

Thanks anyway.
