part of the rose garden...

 

Lovely pictures Rossco - that Kiftsgate is absolutely fantastic.

 

I'm green with envy! It's not a real person's garden, that ! It's a stately home! Hope you're in the yellow book and have people round! Fantastic!

 

yes in the Yellow book, once a year.
sadly on the move to pastures new soon, so new garden pics in the summer of the new place.larger gardens, 10 acres
sorry to say no Veg Garden at the new place, and dont think I will be putting such an elaborate one in there...maybe just a small patch..

 

Can you let us know where?

 

it is in a village in oxfordshire, 6 miles from oxford
open mid june, roughly between 17th and 22nd but not hard and fast.

 

Beatiful garden rossco. You must be sad to be leaving it behind when you move.

 

frogesque,

very, put a lot into it, but never mind, new pastures becken.
bigger and better things to come, new place 10 + acres, this only 5 acres.
350 plants coming thursday for herbaceous border at new place, keep me out of mischief for an hour or two

Hi Rossco, beautiful garden! Is it yours or is this where you are head gardener? (or is that a tongue in cheek job title?) Looks like it takes a lot of work, but you must get a lot of pleasure out of it - good luck in the new place

 

hi bayleaf,
this is where I am Head Gardener, and yes i get a great deal of pleasure from it, have nearly a free hand in all that goes on.
my new place is an even better challange, some areas have not been touched for decades, so restoring an Elizabethan manor house garden is going to be great.

 

we ll expect to see you on tele soon, m8!

 

I'm almost head gardener and I can plant what I like so long as I ask the wife.
