Lea Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Lea how come your chooks dont flutter over the fences? Ours were always in next doors and our fences were higher than that. x Arrrr well their wings have been clipped, but I need to keep an eye on Tilly because she moulted over winter and she can flap quite high. Problem is I didn't clip their wings so will have to learn. Having said that they really don't seemed bothered about escaping they are quite happy in the garden. They are shut in the run whilst we are at work though, so only allowed out when we are about to keep an eye on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Few pics of how my garden is doing: My garden behind an aquilegia bud and a dewdrop: One of the 1000 bluebells we planted last year: 'nother bluebell with a View behind it. And some hyacynths. Path to the composters: Camassias. I do like camassias, they are so easy. The clump could probably do with splitting this year. Mark showing suitable appreciation for one of my superb radishes. Radishes are SO easy to grow, I don't know why I haven't done them before. And so quick!

Abby Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Camassias. I do like camassias, they are so easy. The clump could probably do with splitting this year. Never heard of camassias but that is one good looking plant. Are they a type of lily? My little terrace is coming on okay. My Clematis montana is romping away and about to be covered in flowers The acer the previous owner left behind is looking fabulous Veg Corner is coming along, with potatoes in the big sack, carrots in the little one, two types of cabbage and my purple sprouting brocoli in the greenhouse has germinated and......today we ate our first veg from our own garden lovely lovely cabbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cycas Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Never heard of camassias but that is one good looking plant. Are they a type of lily? They are a North American plant: some varieties have a root that was used as food by the native americans, apparently. I didn't know about the family, but Wikipedia thinks they are a relative of the Agave. Not sure they would be ideal for your terrace garden as they are quite large and like a fairly damp soil: not sure how they would do in an exposed position in a pot, though you could always try. Although they do look fab when they are flowering, they are very much a one-shot deal, so possibly not great value if you are pushed for space. They do naturalise well though so if there are any weedy bits near the pub you could probably pop them in and leave them to do their own thing.

ranirottie Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 wow that is brilliant, I was pleased with mine looking like this but it looks pathetic next to yours !! my cherry tree has blossom on it for the first time,this is its 2nd year my Red Robin is doing really well,we are hoping that the big ones will hide the back fence eventually this looks pretty, I think its an Acer the Broom has grown and flowered. I didn't think it would as Pixi has dug it up twice !! I love this but I dont know what it is. I have 3 diffeent coloured ones but this peach/orange is my favourite I am so pleased that I have some flowers this year. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
