Holiday Care Time Again

It’s that time of year when I get a few extra trees in my garden! I’m looking after 3 collections at the minute while friends are on holiday. It adds to the watering time but I must admit that I like looking at something different for a while too. Main problem is space but as long as the hose reaches, Ill cope 🙂

Here are some that arrived this week.

I’ll take a few photos when I get a chance, some haven’t been seen before and are rather interesting 😉

These ones below belong to Ben, and we had the chance to photograph them already.

Berberis

Boston Ivy

Sumo Cotoneaster

And a very tasty Dissectum Japanese Maple with some beautiful leaf colour this year.

More to follow when I manage to get the camera out again.

No More Room at the Inn

Every Summer I look after a collection of bonsai for a friend while he going on holiday to visit family in the South of England. This year saw him downsize to a smaller car which therefore added a few extra runs to his delivery trips to my place. A few of the trees were just too big for his car and I had to pop over and collect the remaining few from him. Some of the really big ones are staying at home under the care of his son who he trusts enough to look after them.

This has resulted in my benches being full to capacity, or even to a point well past that. As you will see in the gallery below, I have crammed my benches and this is only some of them as the rest are in another area. I hope to get time to photograph some of these properly before he returns and share them here with you.
