    "You have your ways, I see, Jlottie!"

    Lol - thats how the old concrete shed got knocked down so I could have my decking. I started by taking off the roof, buying a very large sledge hammer that I could hardly lift and would you believe it, it didn't take very long once he got started [​IMG]

    I might sow some Echium pininana this year. Any budding monster hunters have any advice, or know how long it takes to get a plant of enough size to flower ?

    I have just bought a Trachy "Waggy" in a 5 litre pot which will need repottng and made a wooden 3'x3'x3' planter for my CIDP as it has lifted itself 4ins out of the present pot. No major changes this year.
    I will be waiting to see if my Albizia J Summer Chocolates take off this year. [​IMG]

    My mates flower the second year after sowing BM. But mine ( transplanted seedling) died :( Don't think they like being ripped up and transplanted, so seeds the way to go!! [​IMG]

    I plan to decrease my lawn size and make the edges more rounded and increase the border size.

    Also to plant my black bamboo as a feature plant which I have overwintered in the greenhouse.

    And just to see what plants have survived the winter and to add more plants to the bigger borders.

    And to attempt to grow lots of things from seed.

    Can't wait to begin [​IMG]
