Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

jazzy said:
OK so here's my initial plant wish list that should suit a jungle garden in NW England
Burgmasia in pots
Fig Tree planted
Yellow and Black bamboos planted
Canas in pots
Ginger in pots
Trachycarpus planted
Day lollies planted
Tetrapanax in pot
Dahlias in pots
Echinacea planted
Musa Banana planted
Campsis planted
Traciospernum planted.

It's only a small are but think I need to pack the plants in to give it an enclosed jungle feel. What do you think @Barnfred 55 ?

Try to check out the colours ,I worked on Osbourne house in Otterspool ! the owner was an architect and he done a plan that might win an RHS prize until they flowered and almost all were yellow but it was definitely not monochromatic .
You should think about bourgainville ,and think about the profile of the beds ,usually high going down to low from the middle and from the back but not always .
You can plant to hide something and plant to show off the same thing .

Wanted to share this with you all. I was parked waiting for the other half to finish work. An elderly couple, both with mobility issues, walking very slowly, both with sticks, were trying to cross the busy road alongside the car park I was waiting in. They couldn't get off the pavement. A random bloke walking past them stepped into the middle of the road, stopped the traffic and escorted them across. Witnessing that little act of kindness has made my day.

Sadly it is the unusual not the norm but I had a similar occurence by the last house ,we were driving into the village when I noticed a young boy picking up a lot of litter ( in Finland that is over three pieces within a 100 metres) and I was so happy I stopped and ask the parents permission and mugged him ( only Scousers will know what I mean) that makes me smile every time I think about it ,so thanks .

Morning all, just checking in, will try and have a read back later. Finally got a bit of relief on saturday and have kept the head at bay, bought some ibruprofen gel and deep heat cream to help. Great game at the weekend, carry that on tonight hopefully.

Speak soon T.

Great to hear from you mate. Always worry when you take a break from the forum. Good to see that you're getting some relief plus the footie helps. It's amazing how much our club's performances affect our mood.

Thanks Blue. Great points. I am definately a fan of the low at the front to high at the back in borders but given that this is a jungle I'd like it to be a bit more natural and random than usual.

The colour point is spot on. We are going for hot colours , no pastel shades so yellows , orange and ( shock horror) red .

Good morning all on this fine and splendid morn .I hope all are refreshed after a wonderful sleep ,pain free and excited about tonight .
I am off to fish through the ice this morning so three layers on and wellies ,the ice is 50cm thick so should carry me and the missus .
Post later if we catch anything other than a cold .

Just a stupid question Blue.
How do you safely cut through the ice whilst you are stood on it?
Stay warm.
 
Morning all.

So , now been back 3 days and still waking up tired.

Predictably me and Mrs J got an NHS ping. It can only be because someone on the plane subsequently tested positive. Fortunately we are both negative in our LTF tests and will do them daily to avoid self isolating.

Because of Covid to one of our playersI had to step in at the last minute and play table tennis last night.

Having not picked up a bat for 4 weeks and eaten and drunk to excess I had low expectations but ended up surprising myself.

I beat the newly crowned junior singles champion but end up losing in 5 sets to the junior runner up and losing the doubles again after 5 gruelling sets.

I must admit I was absolutely knackered and it was my lack of fitness that cost me! Anyway 3 great games so pretty happy.

Big , big night for Frank and the new Everton tonight. I think it's a must not lose to maintain momentum so fingers crossed.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Imagine how Mina feels when he returns from International duty. Same with Richy.
