Behold the works of Man

[andygates]

It's flat and hard and I can work on bikes on it! Behold the unnecessarily huge animated magic patio gif! The fence gets planted up with holly later in the year - it's the wrong time for it.

Now, what the hell do I call "laying a patio" in my training diary? 'Cos this ache has to be good for something...

Holly

[(Anonymous)]

Want a holly? I may have a spare, self seeded from our menage a trois - one trad dark glossy spiky male, one variegated spiky female, one variegated non-spiky female. Two of them have produced a middle-green kind-of-spiky, gender unknown at the moment. Of course, getting it to you could be interesting: It's about four feet tall already...

If you subscribe to the 'thou shalt not move a holly' sect, you can have any number of seeds to do your own propagation. :)

Thanks, but I have a holly connection locally ;) My Man can do me a dozen whips in November, which will make a lovely hedge full of spiky keep-outness and berries. Question is, do I embed a young rowan or crab-apple in the hedge too..?
