Ours is just starting to come to life  I've not done a great amount so far just a little tidying up 

The back gardens been a bit of a hole since the kids had rabbits and stuff been nice to finally get it sorted, doing it cottage garden style wild flowers and herbs etc with some fruit and veg her

This is my patch, been working from home for the last few weeks so the place is looking as nice as it ever has !

Not sure about the top pic but I’ll stick it in app an find out an mate them Passion flowers are much more delicate an lovely than my shitty iPhone pics tell, proper nice flowers you don’t see everyday but my mum in law can grow anything am I mean anything. Il get some pics of her fruit garden next time I’m up, apples, limes lemons an pears an all sorts mate, it’s some gardens she got but took years to get there ?

Have a few of the passion flowers here. One only flowered once, don't know why, personally I think to much rain. 

Good luck with your plants.  It gets additive lol

Thanks for that. They sound ideal for what I want to plant on rockery. 

as you can see from the pic, that's as far as my passion flower gets now.

maybe not enough sun.

Looking forward to seeing this roof, Dytkos. What's it made of, under there?

See you have your little helper :D

It's slate, repaired it about 10 years back but the ivy etc has got through and the old battens have rotted so it's a complete re roof coming up week after next ?

Cheers, D.

There sempervivums or house leeks is there common name 

There an alpine plant / succulent

Your missus is right they like really well drained soil 50/50 mix of compost and grit is ideal

 Yep. I was working my way through this, waiting to see if anyone had spotted them. I'd actually remembered then as " Roof Leeks ". Tend to grow on roofs, in certain parts of UK, don't they?

Not sure if it's the minerals of the tiles. Or the geophysical location?

Ten Fukking Years?!? Have you never considered that Something may have been out of place there? Aren't those Genuine slate roofs mean't to outlast the b*****d that puts them on?

Just asking. No implying. I know I've put a new tin roof on a century old shed. Fukking shed fell down since! ?

It was our holiday cottage then, we live there now so It's worth doing it right. Like I said it was a repair. ?
