BM's April Hideout

Your right the back lawn has to go, the 20mm stone will set the garden of really nice.

 

Its the right decision Jimbo. Was worth a punt, but I was never that optimistic about grass under all my foliage. Once its down and the jungle canopy comes over, it will be the biggest room in the house :D

 

Fantastic, BM!

Your dicentra and hostas, - they're so much in advance of here! :eek: Looking forward to the next episode :D

 

I love this month, as it is the time that the new banana leaves make a bid for freedom through the roof of the banana house.

 

Bm I've made a start on mine, just laying a new path and give a new home to a palm.

Of to the garden show at the weekend hoping to pick up some more jungle plants.

 

Thats what I like to hear Jimbo. Got any pics ? what palm have you homed ? :D

 

Wow, that is a stunning garden, I love it!

 

It looks great bananaman! Except - confession time - I am not too sure about gunneras. Everything else looks wonderful though, especially the cuddly tree fern. Sort of looks like a wookie

 

Love the Magnolia!
unfortunately Magnolia and Maple don't lioke my lime.

 

I will post some pics once I put next doors fence up. The palm is a Phoenix canariensis (Date palm)

Hoping to pick up a black bamboo at the garden show. I can't wait lots of cheap plants

 

Cheers MF, I really can't believe its April. Looking out of the back door today I saw the fig is opening as well as the sorbus whitebeam.

I have plans for one of these too but I am waiting for my friends to sucker me one first.

Well I have been AWOL these last few days busy ripping up the garden and planning new things. The grass is nearly gone bar a skip delivery and the gravel will go down soon after. I have some new arid plants to go in and a couple of monsters waiting to go. I also bought another trachycarpus which cost exactly what I had from my nans who died last september.
