where are you?

LOL Wicked!

Or maybe not .... I lost my town :-((

We're cooking with gas!

Ah ha, my Berkheya seedlings have just poked their noses out of the compost.

Hello I am from Norway. South in Norway, where we have a little bit longer summer then in the north.
I am wild with caudiform, tropical, Ipomoea, colocasia. I have a hearth for variegated plants in general.
I have just been interested in pond and aquarium and the plants who go there.
We have a greenhouse, a winter garden and a room in the basement to grow new seed.
I haven’t been very active here in posting, mostly because I am a little bit insecure on the language and the grammar in English, but I read the post in Daves garden most every day. :-)

Hello snotta,
Nice to hear from you. Not to worry!!! Your English is just fine! Good enough for us gardeners!
I'd like to hear more about your garden!

We live just by the sea, we build the house five years ago.
My garden is in change every year.
In the beginning I have a lot of summer flower, but now it is mostly perennial and bulbs.
I have a lot of canna seed, hosta and heuchera that hopefully will do my garden nicer next year. We have done all buy our self in the garden, when we moved here it was only stone, stone and stone again.
I think in the end of next season the garden will be like we wanted.
We have many levels in our garden, I love that. When you don’t know what the next level is hiding.
Next year I will build a brand new pond, and around that pond I would have a lot of cannas.
Here is a picture of one of the ponds we build this year.

One more pond

snotta, Oh, I am SO envious!!! Maybe Ms Marta, the 4 cats, the dog & I will come live with you!!!
I'd five anything for that seaview!
The stone (slate?) pond is wonderful. How do you get your cannas to grow so big? I have a 'Durban', which is supposed to be very large, beside my pond, but it's no bigger than my minis!!!
I see you have the translucent plastic in your greenhouse. I should have done that!!! I bought glass because the plastic was too expensive, but now it really overheats in the summer!
We have also been in our house 5 years, but we are not so advanced in our landscaping as you are. We are also doing it all ourselves.

snotta and potagere - you both have lovely gardens. Here in Portland I have a very small city - size garden and I wish I had more space. My garden is very full and I just yesterday placed 3 large pots of bamboo to make a screen between my house and the neighbor. snotta do you grow vegetables? When I was in Oslo I fell in love with the sod roofs - very beautiful!

My memories of Portland are from 1967-1968.
Not the same place (as is nowhere) I am sure.
We got this place primarily because in our last "semi-permanent" home, I could not plant anything new without digging out an old friend! Now, I am running in place keeping up with things---and it is still more than 1/2 untamed!
Any photos, Portland?

Just a quickie in case you don't hear from me for a few days. Seems like the arthritis I have on one knee may be a blood clot. I am off to hospital but all is not lost. I have packed a suitcase which includes all the things I will need for a short stay. In my experience, if you come prepared, they will kick you out.
Take care.
Rosie :-))

Best of luck, rose!

Rose, take care.

See I told you! The "bags packed and ready for anything" trick works every time. Thanks for kind thoughts Pot and Portland1. It did the trick! Seems I have what's called a "Baker's cyst" which will disperse over time. No gardening for a while though :-((
Anyway, enough of that. While I had time to think (several hours over several days in waiting rooms does that for a person), I realised that I hadn't been following the thred of this forum - not paying attention as they used to tell me at school.
SOOOO - favorite plant I can't do without has got to be the tomato, not least because I'm good at growing it and getting a really good crop. Can't say that about other things though.
What great pics Pot, sylvia, zest and everyone who posted them. Sorry can't post one of my garden - work in progress :-))

But you might like one of my view.

So nice!

Thanks Pot :-))

I think this is product advertising!!!

I've just reported another copy of the same spam post by the same person - it'll get deleted as soon as an admin comes along.

Resin

Don't have a problem with not enough water :-((

I finally read through all the posts and I didn't know I was supposed to name my favorite plant. That's easy - right now my tomatoes are my favorite, and when they are finished my favorite will be whatever vegetable I plant next. I am a fickle woman.

LOL resin - might we sell some to our chinese friend? How much do plastic bags cost these days?

I got them coming out of my ears - originally from UK so I guess that explains it. At the moment got at least 50 under the sink. Note: Need to be more organised.
Hey Resin, how do you do that funny boxy/quote thing?

Resin - looks kind of like Oregon - lots of rain!

I'm living in Brussels, Belgium currently. My favorite plant genus ... Brugmansia. Three of my favorites: Kaitlyn, Anja, Wupperstolz.

I put this link above to wupperstolz, but they also have Anja as well if you look here.
