    Can I borrow it please, just got the gas board to remake the unofficial path they decimated through the winter, now if I could just re-position a couple of huge rocks it would stop the cars driving onto the playing fields, and they would have to use the proper gates.

    Right, here's one. If you look at pics 5 and 6, you'll see a rather nice yellow Lupin. Not a type I've come across before. Any tips on how to look after it? Will there be any more flowers this year?

        It's there @Sheal , although looking at the pic, it looks more of a cream colour. Don't look for the usual spire, more of a bushy thing:)

          Ahh, Tree Lupin, vaguely recall something, maybe a thread somewhere.
          Settled in great, we love it here. Of course, I miss my veggy patch, so something to think about...

              Ahhh! That's why I couldn't see it. :doh:Sorry, I only know about the usual Lupins and I'm not sure whether you would treat this one the same.

              That was my initial impression, somewhere only suitable for sitting and drinking beer/cider/wine, but not for veg growing.

                  If you look at the last pic, you'll catch a glimpse of a rather large garden that belongs to a nearby property. Food for thought;)
