Hey Diane, is your husband a police officer? i ask out of curiosity because you mentioned he was in the middle of a high profile bust on a drug ring. But I just adore the pics you put on here, your garden is lovely. I originally had some plants out in front of my house, a bunch of pink and yellow Asiatic lilies, but unfortunately the local wildlife, and i mean mostly stupid deer keep eating them, if they eat the ones that are coming back, i don't know what to do, i mean, they keep eating them! i lov deer cuz they're so cute, but come on!HippieGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574795813538668747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-18372168930933379452011-05-18T13:45:53.194+01:002011-05-18T13:45:53.194+01:00Your garden is looking good ours is soooooooo dry....Your garden is looking good ours is soooooooo dry. But my Bay-tree is flourishing it is obviously in a very good spot in the garden.

Have you thought of padding the sides in case they land there?<br /><br />I had an Acanthus that never did anything in the front garden so I moved it to the back where it flourished, but I must have left a bit at the front and it did really well there after that too. It must have thought if it didn't buck itself up it would be in for the chop good and proper!Little Blue Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616392505984609128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-69261887764905226812011-05-18T12:57:52.827+01:002011-05-18T12:57:52.827+01:00An uplifting post, loved the contrast of your husb...An uplifting post, loved the contrast of your husband making the world a safer place for us and you making a safer place for the baby birds.

When we first came to live where we are now there were two or three aquilegia in the middle bed now they are all over the garden. They do seed very easily - we have about four different colours now as well - all self seeded. We have young sparrows and collard doves at the moment finding their feet, or should I say, wings:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-80990046974760956522011-05-18T10:58:25.007+01:002011-05-18T10:58:25.007+01:00I would appreciate a moment or two in your garden ...I would appreciate a moment or two in your garden as well.

I am afraid we lost both our bay standards this winter, even more galling because I got them at such a bargain price. Our own fault as we meant to repot them into some lovely big tubs and left it too late and then the frost got at them. Lesson learned I think!WinnibriggsHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373512408459789941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-78054895940947366352011-05-18T08:21:20.188+01:002011-05-18T08:21:20.188+01:00I'm glad you Bay is sprouting....mine is very ...I'm glad you Bay is sprouting....mine is very dead!<br />The Aquilegia (however it's spelt) is a 'Nora Barlow' type I think,anyhow, it's lovely!
