The pic is from a couple of years ago. It always looks best in the spring. And my Welsh and Californian poppies self seed - or I might give them a bit of help as I love them. I also have self-seeding violets and a little acer growing from seed in one of my pots. I've tried to grow the red poppies but they don't take. The bluebells and wild garlic are just coming into flower.I can’t believe it, mine is a Acer as well...I bought it from a young girl selling plants privately....it was so tiny, ..you should see it now.
Is that your garden as it looks now? Xx
I have those poppies all over the garden, they self seed..beautiful they are,xx
Good luck with the wild garlic, my friend has tried to get rid of them.The pic is from a couple of years ago. It always looks best in the spring.

You have quite a big plot. Mine are two 40foot by 18foot = back and front. I don't grow veg though.Well, this is mView attachment 44183View attachment 44184y fourth year of attempting a garden. The past two were not as successful as the first.
Wow!!!...you’ve been busy...I would love to grow my own vegetable garden,,I grew some tomatoes a few years back, the darn rats ate them, that were nesting under my decking at the time........you have worked hard....Well, this is mView attachment 44183View attachment 44184y fourth year of attempting a garden.

Oh I like them they are under the tree in the shade with some bluebells. They haven't spread. That's my 'woodland' bit with ferns and a bit of well control ivy.Good luck with the wild garlic, my friend has tried to get rid of them.
Well these are the 10-12 foot dwarfs.Look at those amazing Banana plants, beautiful architectural plants, I watch a lady from the UK, on YouTube, her channel is called Tropical garden.....
She has banana plants, she has to wrap them in fleece every year to protect them from the frost......I would absolutely love them in my garden, they are such a statement and talking piece.unfortunately my garden is to small....
How old are they? they look so mature,xx
I would love to see a picture of yours with bananas on the plants, pretty please,xxWell these are the 10-12 foot dwarfs.
Now, depending on the latitude even a variation of 100 kms, this will dictate or vary the length of the growing season and how large they get and in what quantities. And other factors as well, like how cooler or warmer, especially the winter temps, and the amount of seasonal rainfall. You know many folks think that bananas love constant high temps, and they do not. In fact the ideal temp range for this type of banana is 68-80 deg F.
Average growing time to maturity here is between 1-1/12 years. Sometimes I get 6 plants that will grow a couple or more bunches of bananas per plant say, of 30-40 in a bunch. That can be a total of about 500 banana. Usually less though,
When we lived closer to the East Coast line and about 100 kms further south, the growing season was less, 3/4 - 1 year.
What a stunning beautiful haven, I would be out there all day every day!....
Wow!!....look at all of those bananas....fantastic!!....thank you for sharing,xxx
Yep, although not seen any around the plants in over 10 years. I've heard of the black widow types living around them....I do still watch it especially when I cut a bunch off or hack down a dead, expended plant with my machete.@APAK ..have you got to be careful of spiders living in that banana plant?
