    thank you periwinkle for the lovely comments, i have to go out each day and watch my climbers steer them in the right direction were i want them to climb some however just do their own thing hehe, ones at top outside my balcony i cant control they do there own thing.
    cant understand why my montana hasnt flowered it seems ok and is growing all over just wonder iff its still establishing itself had it 2 years now.other climbers take at least to the 3rd year to establish and flower.
    like them birds just pop them in my pots another morrisons great buy, they have another one think ill get it and they are not very big

    Hi Rosa,
    well we went to Morrisons today and I found myself in the garden aisle [don't know how that happened!!] and I thought of you Rosa when I saw some gorgeous glass tealight holders that looked like little lanterns. They were really pretty, one pound each but BOGOF :hehe:

    so I bought 4 and have hung them on the lilac tree [where my clock is] and I am sooo pleased with them.
    They had several colours but I chose the blue ones and OH commented how nice they looked on the tree :lollol: I am training him well.

    Hi Rosa, they would look lovely on your balcony garden, how can you resist BOGOF?

    Have put a pic on my album, it isn't a good pic but you can see them just. I really want to get some for the front tree but as I had something stolen from the front garden I am reluctant to put anything more out there. :(

    Hi Rosa, well you've made me buy a scarecrow, lol! You know those little ones that you just stick in pots or on the lawn! Well, I was in B&M yesterday and saw them again and after seeing your recent pics I thought - why not. So I've got one. Not nearly as much fun as you've got on your balcony but it's a start, ha, ha.

    Your first pic of your clematis is just like the one I bought. Remember when I did my little corner? Well it was supposed to grow up on the trellis thing there, but it looked like it was dead. I didn't chuck it though and this year it has a bud on it!!!,lol. Just glad it isn't dead and seems to be growing albeit slowly. I must get some pics taken of my garden too.

    cheers

    The clematis looks really pretty Rosa. The fuschia looks about ready to open up now. Ido like them, there are so many different varieties of them :)
