I've so enjoyed this post -- your fe...Hi Rose,<br /><br />I've so enjoyed this post -- your fence garden is just charming!! I love all the flowers in bloom; is that a bed of primroses in the round circle? I think it's so neat that you can grow fruit trees in a planter; I guess I never realized that. What a great idea!<br /><br />It was interesting to see the Monk's Hood. I've read about it; isn't it extremely poisonous if ingested? I love that you got a picture of the hole in your ivy vine with the robin's nest inside. And you even got a pic of the mother robin! You are just like a modern-day Beatrix Potter, Rose; and I mean that in the nicest possible way!<br /><br />Coincidentally, we have a robin's nest (with babies) on our front porch column at the moment. It's a very sloppy looking nest. :) We had one last year, and I've decided that robins are very sloppy housekeepers. The finches and wrens build much tidier nests. Also, I think your English robins are so much cuter than the American ones. :)<br /><br />I'm sorry I'm just now leaving you a comment on this post, Rose; I've forced myself to stay away from blogging for the past two or three weeks in order to get some things done around the house. I've missed it and am glad to be back.<br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful day!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Denise at Forest ManorDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-56149771078072283592013-05-12T09:37:33.074+01:002013-05-12T09:37:33.074+01:00It all looks beautiful Rose, do you get much fruit...It all looks beautiful Rose, do you get much fruit on the dwarf trees? I've been wondering about getting some.

Our trip north to see Bob's mom was not exactly happy, she really is fading, and didn't know any of us, but she is out of the hospital and in the nursing facility at her residence. She will never be going back to her little apartment there.<br /><br />Now Im readying for the trip - such a lot to do around here before I leave on the 19th - with all the rain we've been having the garden is a bit of a mess - I will be out there on Fri. cleaning up as that's supposed to be a fine, warm and dry day.<br /><br />Yours is coming along famously - love what you've planted and all looks healthy - and I'm in love with all those blue pots! Are those stone bears I see, and what is climbing up your arch?<br /><br />Hope all is well and that your mom is doing better. Perhaps this warmer weather you've been having has made a world of difference for all of you who were sick of cold and wet!!<br /><br />Love and hugs - Mary X<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123979443065030493.post-26047675687151376782013-05-07T12:30:02.229+01:002013-05-07T12:30:02.229+01:00wow that is beautiful!
