Do you name all the plants, or just the long-term residents?
She's gone a long way from desperate twig. Nice proportions.

Thank you yes she has come on well. :D And only the long term "decent sized plants do I name" or maybe Ishould say those I seem to "take under my wing :D so far I have...........

Maggie the Magnolia.
Sunny the Sundance
Acer - the Acer obviously (also a rescued twig)
Junior - the little Acer (also a rescued twig)
Alfred (large Holly) really Golden Queen
The Peries arejust known as Little and Large:D
The tree's have names sort of or at least names we recognise them by when I try to piont something out. :roll:

The big tree ( for obvious reasons)
White Tree (has white blossom in Spring)
Leggy Tree (a new addition this year, he is tall and thin)
Oscar's Tree (meant to be planted by where Oscar is buried but I decided against itwhen I saw the tree's the Leggytree is planted there but still the one tree is called Oscar's tree)
Conifer tree or Shed tree(the tree planted byt he shed/conifer)
Acer
Junior
Old Yella (a yellow acer just behind the big Acer.)

Does no one else name their plants tree's:-D

I have got two new acers today and they are to be called Eric and Ernie after M&W:-D :roll:

Have done. Nothing large & permanent in this garden is just mine, though. And I won't repeat what I call the bramble. :grin:

Not more mad than suits you. :grin: There are times when I prefer to talk to inanimate objects. They don't talk back and they don't generally let you down.

Don't think a magnolia would grow in the size tub I still have room for. : / Shame.
