I accepted your invitation and had a wander around Eric (by slideshow).
You've gone to a lot of trouble to pull all that together - I'd like you to know its very much appreciated.
Your garden is magnificent, and it is stocked with a wealth of interesting plants e.g. your collection of Hemerocallis is very impressive and I can see some beautiful specimens of Phlox.
You garden is looking very tidy and well cared for. You must spend a lot of time out there!
Keep up the good work Eric.

That's a lot of garden for one man and a cat to manage! I enjoyed the slideshow. Lovely garden, interesting range of plants and trees. The white-berried Sorbus is pretty. Your Eucomis are much further on than mine, and your ponds are lovely. Ours is terribly in need of attention this autumn. I am envious of your Eupatorium in such full bloom. I used to have one many years ago but I don't really have anywhere reliably damp enough and suitable locations are too far away from the house to keep up to regular watering for such a large plant. I think I noticed a pink Spiraea? Mine didn't even mange to get from bud into bloom this year, with the dry weather, mildew got it :( I have a few day lilies and crocosmia out too, although I grow the latter in pots which I overwinter in the greenhouse as I lost a lot a couple of years ago.

The other cat helps,sometimes as well. Then of course there is my wife. We have a good working partnership, she does the work and I take the credit! Works for me ;D

It's the other way round in our household nowadays. I make the plans and write the lists then Rog does three jobs from his own list which isn't even written down before doing one from the 'official' list ;D

I write my own list and usually do three other jobs before getting to the "official" list ;D - such is gardening.

This is indeed true. But I always then still write them on anyway just so I can have the pleasure of crossing them off.
