Flowers are beautiful, I agree with your favourites! I probably write this everytime you post a pic of the Laburnum, but I ate a lot of the pods when I was 2 and was severely ill! No memory of it...or lasting damage...I hope, ha! xxxlozabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223263361085075839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-69298711141047343782017-05-30T11:08:53.340-07:002017-05-30T11:08:53.340-07:00Ongoing I'm afraid Jo, no cure for C.O.P.D, Th...Ongoing I'm afraid Jo, no cure for C.O.P.D, The hospital was great unlike the far newer one in Galway, the pavements there are hard enough for abled bodied people let alone wheelchairs.<br />From what Simon and friends said our garden is better although somewhat smaller than Strokestown House. Apparently the veg gardens are no longer tended neither are the glasshouses.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-68858766338352048822017-05-30T01:50:30.262-07:002017-05-30T01:50:30.262-07:00I'm sorry to hear about the problems you'v...I'm sorry to hear about the problems you've got with your health. Is the oxygen requirement going to be something that's ongoing? It's good to know that you had a good experience in the hospital but a shame you couldn't get to see the gardens at Strokestown House, you'd think in this day and age, places would be geared up for wheelchairs.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-74535857140133378212017-05-29T11:09:35.274-07:002017-05-29T11:09:35.274-07:00Thanks Coco, the health problems are somewhat life...Thanks Coco, the health problems are somewhat life limiting, but we still manage the odd day out.<br />I found that there was virtually nothing that didn't grow in Galica. We used to buy quite a few plants in Lugo's farmers market and there was a great tree and shrub nursery that we used as well. We don't do bedding plants except for the window boxes, so everything that we grow are herbaceous plants, after a year or so most require splitting so you end up with twice as many plants then when you started.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-3932303147248174002017-05-29T00:42:47.564-07:002017-05-29T00:42:47.564-07:00So sorry for your health issues.

You´ve inspired me so, I´ll have to stop to look and see what´s on offer.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002346978289429622noreply@blogger.com
