      Managed to find time to get the rest of the Bamboo in, I need to pick another one up now, most ive ever spent on a garden plant was £7, these things are £35 for the gold ones £40 for the black ones, I did get them for £35 each, she only scanned the gold one :biggrin:,

      Looks like they was ready for potting on, roots was bulging, how old will they be please, the tallest is around 11/12ft.

        If you come into Baslow on the B6012 [Bakewell Road] Martin, you will come to a roundabout, take the first left at the roundabout onto the A623 into Baslow. You come almost immediately onto another small roundabout and you keep Left. The Church grounds are immediately on your Left and the Church Lych Gate is 50 yards up on your Left with Charlies Cafe on your right. There is limited car parking on the Left by the Lych Gate. Charlies isn't open on a Monday or Tuesday but open 10am to 4pm on the rest of the week days, 9am to 5pm on a Saturday, and 9am to 4pm on Sundays.:coffee::snorky:

                          Something ive been wanting to do is add a false window somewhere in the garden M and put in mirror glass (well a plastic mirror ive got grandkids) it should look nice in the middle of that,

                          There was a garden on Chelsea flower show last year with fake windows, I liked the idea, think this is the perfect place for one :)

                            I got home today to find the Postie had delivered two of the three Dierama plants I had ordered. One was D. Guinevere from Ballyrobert Nursery and the other, D. Reynoldii from Perfect Plants Nursery came in half litre pots and both were well packed and really nice cut back plants. Ballyrobert's Nursery even included a hand written note telling me that they normally send young plants but this time they've sent a mature plant and that I could plant it straight into the ground if I wanted to. Erring on the side of caution, I have put them into the Green House to harden off for a week.:coffee::snorky:
