Oh, yes! Thank you!

I must go there.. Very beautiful .. Day and night - just think about the technology and design involved. Son actually liked driving up to Yorkshire as the roads are straight and petrol station prices reasonable .. I will do some research and plan it for next summer, probably in a wheelchair! LOL!

Are you back yet @Logan ....if so how is Barley?

 

[Verdun]

If in doubt, give Deacons a ring alp. They are both helpful and knowledgeable.
I bought loads of apples,,pears, plums, cherries from them plus the odd peach, fig and others when I planted out an orchard. The rootstocks are very important, of course, but balance them with the type of soil you have too. M27 needs more attention and better soil as well as attention to pruning I think. Before you swap anything, talk to Deacons alp and get their advice.
I grew most of the apples on M9 and they are mostly no more than 7' tall after more than 15 years. I summer prune to create prolific fruiting on low easy to pick trees.

Hope Barley is ok logan

We left him there and have to collect him after 4pm, but we'll phone first. Probably have to see the vet before we do. Thanks. How are you @Upsy Daisy

@Verdun thanks, have to collect him after 4pm
See the vet first.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Not too bad thanks @Logan.
Let us know how Barley is

 

[alp]

I hope Barley is back on his sustenance! Give him a pat on my behalf, please, @Logan. I hate going to the Dentist ..

I went out to plant some more hellebores in the border and sow more seeds. Might be a bit too late, but it doesn't matter. Better late than never. I distinctly wanted to share my clematis Madame Julie Correvon with you as it is enjoying a 2nd flush with about 30 flowers. For some reason, it didn't show up. I must be suffering from dementia.

My Amistad is still going strong and so is this fuchsia

And this alstroemeria must know something that I don't .. still budding

@alp, @Upsy Daisy,@Verdun collected Barley at 4pm. It went alright, he had a injection of antibiotics and a pain killer. Got some antibiotic tablets and a small bottle of pain killer, to start tomorrow. Made a appointment for week on Wednesday. The nurse said he'll be a bit sleepy, but he was pulling to get out of the vets and come back home to have some food. Nurse said don't give him too much. If he starts vommiting or got the runs, let them know. Because he's been out all day,berry won't leave him alone. He keeps licking Barley's ear. Barley's settled down now.
Thanks.
