Blogger Help

 Hi Everyone, I've been having trouble, as you know, with Blogger and commenting etc. I couldn't get into a Blog to leave a DT comment and emailed the owner, as I thought her card too good not to leave a comment.

Anyhow, I had a reply from the administrator of her blog, who turned out to know, as far as I am concerned, all the answers. She not only got me into the blog, but has a blog of her own to help other bloggers in my situation. 

I thought I would add a link to her blog, so that anyone else in my situation of not being able to comment will have the help to do so.

Thank you Linda for all your help.

 

Now about the garden - again! After digging up everything and replacing at the beginning of the year, we are thrilled that the shrubs and plants have made such great growth this year, the next few years or so should it all filled out. - Don't worry I'll keep you up to date hahaha

Before 
 
After
 
Before 
 
 
After, 
hubby also made the border straight to help keep work down.
 
Hubby grew a lot of these from seed, and they are around the garden. 
I call this my "Trifid" plant, it's actually an Aramanthus  
I found out on Google that - 
"Amaranth is rich in antioxidants, including gallic acid and vanillic acid. Antioxidants help fight free radicals, which are damaging by products of normal cellular activity, helping to reduce everything from signs of ageing to heart disease."
 
Mmm reduce ageing? perhaps I had better eat a few tons? 😉
 
this is Hydrangea paniculata "Limelight". The flower is about 12 inches (30 cm) long and huge as are others on the shrub, it's only been in a couple of years and is filling out well from being a small shrub to start.

 I could go on and on about the garden, but will leave it for another time, you'll be glad to know. I also hope the link above will help if you've been in my situation. 
Until next time, keep safe and well.

Your garden's looking wonderful Faith and what a gorgeous view you have! My daughter and her fiancee, who are busy planning their wedding, have decided to honeymoon in North Wales where there are some pretty spectacular views too!! When you've had your ton of Aramanthus, I wonder if you could send a couple of tons over this way lol! Vicky x
