    I do like a nice Acer, got two in the garden that I’ve had for a few years, been doing a lot in it these last few weeks. Will post images when the sun is out.

    I know its such a shame they don't last. If I buy them cut they last a couple of days and they are so expensive! Love them though.

    Gooseberries are a great choice. Small plants and easy to manage...hardy too. And they are easy to pick and get enough for a pie. Not like black- and red-currants....lovely taste but too fiddly all round.
