Hello,
Quick intro: Got into exotic plants about 12 years ago, and initially growing a few hardy orchids (Cyprepedium, Pleione), then moved to some ferns (Blechnum, woodwardia, osmunda, lophosoria ... lost Pteris wallachiana this year after growing it 9 years), but got a bit nuts with bamboos (over 20 varieties). Recently added Araliaceae (Schefflera, Brassaiopsis, Tetrapanax). In between all this some Asian trees. Also have a small Orchard and try to how some borderline fruit (well, they are trying to grow). Added a pond last year, this year a fence and some terraced plant beds are planned but let’s see how far we get with this.
BR, Thomas

Hi Thomas, welcome. It looks as if you are doing ok without us! Get some nice Koi in your pond.
Don't Just sit there, plant something!

Actually, I was thinking about Koi and got advice BUT as you may know, they like plants too, are looking for any excuse to die if water quality is borderline and living near the Thames we have herons, mink and cormorants. It all got kicked off by my daughter winning a feeder fish at a fair. Was an excellent excuse for a project
