Very pretty Deb. I haven't seen bluebells since I was a child. From memory they used to be everywhere but now, not so much.
We have a bit of weeding to do too. I usually take a few weeks off early September to get the garden tidy and planted up for Christmas but as we have a lot of sad events at work, 4 family bereavements and a major brain op on a co-workers daughter, plus retirements and resignations, which have led to low staff levels, I cannot take any time off at the moment.

I even have a few pink blue-bells Prim ar should I call them pink- bells lol. They're nice but not as strong and hardy as the blue ones. I need to get out there and do some weeding too.
so sorry to hear you have all that going on atm Prim... hard times. you must be under a lot of pressure at work too if you don't have enough staff.

this old tree above the cubby- I don't even know what it is, it's quite beautiful for the short time it flowers, but the rest of the time it.s mostly a nuisance

Gosh, it is quite striking too. Grab a bit of it and go to a nursery, they will tell you what it is. Is it a nuisance because it grows too much?

it's deciduous and the leaves are are a nuisance, if you walk under the tree you get them all over you
I think it is this Prim

how it got here I don't know - our house is 115 years old. this tree must've been one of the early plantings. I must say i just haven't seen any other's around

If that is its correct name, Wiki tells me it is flowering at the wrong time of the year LOL
Whatever it is, it is very pretty but I think the gutters would not like it too much.

I wonder if they're talking about Australia though- I hope its not that as i was just reading how invasive their roots are
on 27-09-2015 11:42 AM
Not sure Deb. I speed read it LOL
I think you would have plumbing issues and a shed sitting a little askew by now if its roots were invading their surrounds.
