Dear Nancy, not at all for I have been on here since it first started. This site is more strictly gardening and the horticultural powers to be will quickly tell you off and give you a smacked wrist if you are a bit risque. So I use this for the serious stuff and cubits for putting things on and to have a chat with my friends that would not go down too well on here.
Brenda of course for I could not leave you out could I? However I am surprised I have not got a message from someone who thinks all the plants in the world came from America and were handed out to all other countries by them, telling me off for calling them Fuchsia's.
This was done by one of the better supermarket chains and was caused Best of British.

Please we are more knowledgble than that. I like the garden exhibits better than just batches of plants. Color makes a great impression, sometimes single plants are better than mass. At the moment we have a red heuchera (Firefly) in bloom. It is a single plant backed by daylily foliage & I enjoy it everytime we come into the driveway. The daylily (Pardon Me) which is red is not flowering as yet.

beautiful

Some more photos for you all.

Neil.

The cacti are cute, but I wouldn't bother with them here. there is enough to do as it is.

Some different pictures for you all.

Neil.

Is that a bamboo with the blue flowers?

Beautiful wonderful pictures Neil. I think you have out did yourself this time.

Dear Cherie, great to hear from you as I was getting worried! Did you see all the pictures or just the horses and stone above. Or did you look above and see the plants as well?
There will be a lot more pictures now that Apple Mac have suddenly realized that they might have a one year warranty in the USA, but not in the UK where it is two years by law. My iMac went bang and as it was only 13 months old and very expensive Apple told me it was out of warranty and I had to buy a new one. So as our small claims court is free for matters up to £5000 I believe, i took them to that and they backed down and gave me a brand new one. I do not expect to pay a lot of money and 13 months later it goes wrong, so I am happy with this new one which came Friday. I cannot get on with a laptop as they are too small for pictures, i prefer a Desktop and a large one like my new iMac which has a 27" screen!
Don't eat too much on the 4th but have plenty to drink!

Neil.

I think all the pictures were so Beautiful.

great. that will teach them to see things in the UK.

Desktop here as well, but a pc because that is what I learned on.

Dear Lucy, it did not go to court as the publicity would not have been too gret for them. They were told very quickly which surprised them to appear to answer the charges. They wanted to collect the iMac and check to see if I had done anything to it at all, which is wrong, because they could have said I did which I did not touch it inside. The solicitor who works for the court sent them a letter saying they would get it checked by an independent engineer and Apple would pay the bill if they lost and more time for me not having a working computer. i also bought an external Hard Drive for my pictures from them and that was corrupted when the computer went bang!
They did see sense and replaced it with a new model for 2012 and a new external Hard Drive on the condition they had the old one back, which I gladly gave them.
They really should check the laws of the country they are selling their products in before saying things like "one year warranty in the USA and worldwide." It is not worldwide if the law of the country state otherwise as they have learnt. Although they will probably put their prices up to cover this, as the two year warranty is on anything apart from food, but they are twice the price here of what they are in the USA anyway.
Regards.
Neil.

I've been a slug in all the heat. It is never much higher than 85 here in June and it has been in the mid to upper 90's most of the month. I have a brown lawn as a watering ban on most everything other than gardens. EATABLE gardens as that..........................Have had 2" f ran the last 58 days..............

I watch and read everything just usually too sticky and hot to take the time to post much. Back of my hair has been continuously wet for the last week.

I have been looking at all the beautiful flowers up above as mine are not so glorious this year with the heat. WE NEED RAIN badly and we're just not getting it. Way up north gets it. The states below us gets it, frustrating.
