Think I'm going psychic or funny in the head. I was going to suggest you bought an apple tree for your children. (see album - I started young!) When I was little, I used to love coming home from school and going in the garden and picking an apple off the tree. Your children will have such...

Have a good time shopping :D . Hope you've had a productive week thinking and looking. If you buy five things, only 100 steps to lug them up! Phew. We're all looking forward to hearing what happens next - well I am. (Thanks for roses info - realise now I got it wrong 14 times - far...

:D Perfecto. Now much wiser. Thanks. Rose purchase resulted from being out taking photos for you yesterday - thought it was all rather too green. Inspired by your efforts, dashed out and bought the roses. New venture for me - don't hold your breath, see album - likely to be only photo!

Alan Titchmarsh watch out. Definitely make your own arbour - far cheaper. I've found tannalised roofing battens handy and cheap to use for parts of garden structures. Kids love playing on steps - a happy summer ahead for all. Have found your enthusiasm infectious - thanks.

I'm planting a rose border for the first time. Wanted 'gaudy' so have 12 floribunda roses, different varieties with varying heights and spreads. How far apart should they be planted? (Korresia, English Miss, Evelyn Fison, Baby Bio, Summer Dream, Margaret Merrill, Marlena, Glenfiddich, Pink...

Every sympathy. Had dreadful experience with plumbers - one neat and tidy and awful plumbing, second wonderful plumber turns the place into a pigsty. Both fully qualified and recommended! Leaves you feeling ill. Suggest quote from reputable, professional firm then offer to pay the cowboys...

:) No, they're solely for reading. Why is a long life assumed to be a good life?

:lol: Set up investigation re smell. Put my glasses on. Thought I'd gone blind. Tuna had landed on my glasses (which hang round my neck) and dried off. Thank goodness it wasn't a dolphin.

Funny you should mention that Tim .... had tuna sandwich for lunch and I always seem to drop some and spend the rest of the day wondering where it landed and why I can still smell tuna.

Have put the photos of trees up in an album, as promised. Lorena's ideas super. A friend has that Pittorsporum in a large pot (dog kennel size!) and it's beautiful.

Blossom on Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis rosea' today 1/3. Really uplifting to have blossom in winter

Robinia 'Frisia' without any leaves, taken today 1/3. This was the tree that inspired me to go out and buy one.

Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis Rosea' 10 years old - blossom from November before leaves, wide vs narrow Prunus 'Amanogawa' on right about 4/5 years old.

Prunus 'Amanogawa' left behind seat, Juniperus scopularum 'Skyrocket' in tub, Eucalyptus gunnii at rear. Shows comaparative scale, similar ages.
