Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!
Thanks, for your help Majesty, its so silly but being told I didn't know what I was talking about really got me, so somer has printed off so if necessary can show them, but think will more likely carry on & do the post when we go to Wincanton which is at least 3 times a week.
Hydrangea is lovely, have a pink one that I brought from the IOW 24 years ago & still doing well, Have managed to propergate some more from it I looked it up on line & was easy & infact am just trying to grow some more, the first one I did has come flowered well & the other one has so much folige on it that needs repotting , which hope to do this week.
Actual sun shine this morning

@HerMajesty, @Maplegin
You can take a lot of the bushes and take a branch and bend it to the ground and cover with soil.
Eventually with watering and such, that branch will start rooting in the soil. Then just it away from the bush.
This hydrangea is neat.
It sprouted like a tree.
It has a trunk and hasn't done the root sprouting to be bushier.
Here's a picture of the "trunk" of this "bush".

Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!
Thanks Police for that info. so far my last lot of cuttings seem to be doing okay.

Had another sale of cig cards much slower than it use to be but does tick over.

Hi Maplegin
Been really busy in gardening everyone else's gardens.
I have a large project where I cleared out a wooded area of all the kudzu, raspberry bushes, nettle, tickweed and such.
Created a path through it and started with plants and seeds to make it both domestic and native planting.
Today, they asked if I would take over the lawn and garden care. They really don't like the people they have.
Here is the big project I am working on . . .
This is the wooded area that has been cleared and plantings have started

The biggest project is adding a double waterfall with a swim pond and other smaller ponds with waterway. Sergio was doing the layouts and rock work here.
This is from the back where the water drains, filters and recycled back up to the top waterfall.

The pond is filled and the second waterfall is in place, when I checked today ( no pictures of this )
We had a triple digit temperatures with humidity.
Then some relief.
Now we have a few more days of high 90's and humidity.
Just sweaty days and hardly can do any work.

Hey Mandart, how far are you on updating your website?

And it's an ouch from him... Had a fall and am currently nursing a double fractured shoulder, effectively putting me out of action for a little while...
Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!
@Mandart
So sorry about your fractured shoulder.
I remember when I was in high school and my horse slipped and rolled over me.
I ended up with a broken collar bone.
I was put in a harness ( not the horse) that covered the break.
I ended up with a huge calcium deposit on the bone that caused problems if anything rubbed against it.

Re: Over half a million auctions at last!!!!

Mandart we are so sorry to hear you are injured, take care, its always the way that when you can rest you don't want to but am afraid you have to do as you are told.
