Sounds like a beautiful show garden,
No no no, not even sure if should attempt that... I saw a beautiful romantic one on a vid and thought -
that perfection is a million miles to go... (and not compatible with fibro/MCAS).
But I believe what I took over in Nov/Dec has quite some potential, I love it anyway, and the ugly bits have come from lack of energy and knowledge, which I'm now hopefully making up for.
OK, I spose I'm being too critical, just impatient cos it's winter now.
When the lilac, the forsythia, the magnolia, the cherry, and all the flowers blossom.... Ah, I found some old summer pics I could show.
And mossing the lawn and ivying the ugly walls and sheds more are the projects coming up.
Plus starting to hollyhock the walls, got the seeds off a next door neighbour who I asked.
Looking for the romantic garden video I saw David Bowie made a track (with Eno?) called Moss Garden, but the Japanese ones he's referring to are too strict for my liking, I like it wilder....
What is a big cornel?
Do you get cherries off your cherry tree? Oh I love
The cornel
cherry is already blossoming despite the rainy snow this week (yellow like witch-hazel would be and forsythia is starting up). Those cherries are edible too, sour like cranberry and sour cherry, for jam. Never knew, lots of
my lack of knowledge (plus we were only allowed to "look at it" until I took it over). Cornel cherries might be great for me, better than the sweet cherries, which taste better, but aren't good for me (lipids I think? controversial re. histamine).
Big meaning maybe 12 yards tall. The sweet cherry is maybe 20 yards tall. That's taller than our garden is broad... The cherries are delicious, but the worms like them too. I'll see if I can help after harvesting.
where’s some photos? Would love to see.
1) Left to right: lilac, magnolia and sweet cherry in full bloom (cornel, then hazel on the right).
2) I wonder if I can catch the tulips behind the snow drops coming out before the drops leave us?
3) The cornel cherry 6 weeks ago, newer photos went wrong (probably did them in macro, like :
4) Cornel cherry blossoms close up. (Love my daffodil & crocus - orange in purple - close ups too.)
they don’t sit on your shoulder like most parrots but I find they seem to more snuggle under your chin.
