Welcome

Excellent. Thanks

Warm and humid at around 23C. Overcast but STILL no rain! Had a couple of showers in the last month.

I think we might take our three in the next few years. Sounds like a great holiday!

How did you find it with the kids? Much for them to do? I'd love to go but was once told it wasn't too kid friendly.

Wow...so sorry to hear so much has been killed or damaged. Let's hope summer 2018 is a long one and next winter never really arrives.

So via the social media sites I'm seeing a couple of posts every day from poeple with badly damaged/dying or dead plants, in particular Dicksonia antarctica. What have people lost after our nasty winter just gone? Personally I have lost some basjoo but thankfully all my wrapping has seemingly saved ...

The world is getting hotter year on year now.

Bone-dry

This is such a great idea! We have a local group who tend all the 'village' (more of a town now) plants. They are doing an absolutely terrible job with plant choice at the moment. I'm considering asking if I can get some of my young Trachycarpus in there for the future plants in the beds.

Wonderful transformation! Great job to get that done in a week!

I can see posts from before 2014, e.g. this thread was started in 2007.

I thought you meant you could see post between 2014 and 2018

What have people made of the Chelsea flower show this year? Yet again I didn't manage to go in person but enjoyed the television viewing. I was left a bit underwhelmed by the show gardens this year. The Japanese garden was superb as always. What stood out for others?
