Allotments 4 All

wow, where do you keep finding them ?

in my back garden :D ;D

Only thing I can find is this pieris ? not sure what type, not forest flame though.

What beautiful plants an colours  :D Thanks everyone!

that's lovely dd.white flowers i just love them :)

Wow bright, Greenwiz! Smashing

DD I love your pieris pics,stunning.

Lovely Pieriis.  It looks like japonica - grows to about 6'   I have one in the same pot it's been in for years.  Never gets watered or  anything and it gets better and better.  :)

it might be pieris japonica 'prelude' dd.

thanks everyone, think that name rings a bell now. I've had the plant about 12 years now, still only about 3ft tall. Covered in flowers at the moment though.
Hope you like my bluebells, growing in the backgarden next to my japonica peiris.

like your pics dd. the painted green  background ( what shade?) really enhances the blue :)

love the blue bells dd have then in my garden they just get more and more every year can never have to many blue bells

My garden is full of those Spanish blue bells which seem to have bred and I now have pink shades too.  They are taking over and I thinned them out last year but didn't seem to make any difference as they all seem to be back

Dirk - What a beautiful shade of blue !! Absolutely gorgeous! :o

Thanks for the encouragement. Been off the computers for a while, upgrading to XP and networking my grandsons computer to mine for his homework.
GW, the shade of green is Wickes forest green wood preservative. About 12-15 litres I think for £7-50. I'm in the process of trying to retrieve most of my images from a back up drive at the moment, so no photo's for a while.
Had our first few set backs over the allotment, bleeding pigeons have taken the tops out of our peas, looks like there a some shoots coming out from below ( fingers crossed) and a slight frost has had a go at our early potatoes. Some of the leaves( not all luckily) have shrivelled up. Should I try and remove the dead leaves or leave alone ?
Hope to be back sometime over the weekend, take care
Bye for now.
Dirk

Managed to find a image for now, taken last year on a day out at Powys Castle. Trying to dodge the crowds.
