    Afternoon everyone!
    Been a busy time in the garden, also, started the garden at the static caravan in much Wenlock.
    Been on our jollybobs too so haven't been on here for a few weeks!

    Anyhoos, here's my gardens progress upto now. The dahlias are going great guns and the large border is full to bursting.

              The Dahlias and your lads matching colour themed attire are superb.
              The garden's a credit to you,
              Jenny.

                  What a beautiful and colourful garden you have Al and I would like to say (and no offence to anyone else) but although you have two young children the garden is just immaculate. I am sure it is a joy to sit in your garden in the evening after a long day and relax.

                  Very impressive.

                    Is there a reason for not planting the large Trachy? not enough room?:biggrin:

                          Garden's matured nicely, full of colour and interest. Giraffe and other inhabitants all looking quite at home amongst the vegetation!:dbgrtmb:

                          We've got one similar which is called "Purple Gem" ?
