Where I live, from the moon!...

KentGardener:
Hi All

I have decided to start this thread as a result of some answers/questions in the cat poo thread!

When members have posted pictures and descriptions in the past I have often wondered about the size / location / shape / neighbourhood of where their gardens are located.

Below are some pictures that I have copied from two free internet resources:

http://local.live.com/

http://earth.google.com/

With these programmes / websites you can view your house from space (the images are usually about 3 or 4 years old though – but then they are free after all!)

I have then used the 'PrtSc' button on my keyboard (this copies my PC screen to my PC clipboard) and then pasted the result into a picture programme (or word).

You can see that I am in a tiny house with a tiny garden in a sprawling metropolis but I am proud to call it home, and have created the best garden I can with a very limited space to work on.

I would be very interested to see where other forum members are located.

(I have the feeling that this thread can go one of two ways – popular or me being the only poster…)

I look forward to seeing your situations

With my best wishes

John

Maggi Young:
I think this is a great idea, John. A while ago, Mark sent us such a photo of our house. I'll look it out and see about marking "us" up on it, as you have done.

Susan Band:
John,
I am often down your way as my partner Adrian ( alias tea boy at Perth Show) lives in Meopham. Have been to a couple of shows at Rainham, will look out the dates for this year and try and get down again. Very different plants on show there compared with Perth.
Will look out for you if I am down
Susan

KentGardener:
Hi Susan

you will be most welcome to visit whenever you are next in Kent - the garden is small (as you can see) but hopefully there will be something showing that you can take a cutting/offset of.

If you give us a few days warning my other half is always eager to organise a BBQ at any opportunity!  (No matter what month)!!

cheers

John

Maggi Young:
Aha! A BBQ at any opportunity, no matter what month, eh?  By this description your other half is Scottish, John... we Scots are well known for being daft enough to BBQ in any weather !! Here in Aberdeen, folk who BBQ in summer are thought of as rather soft! Our BBQ had to be scrapped and hasn't been replaced, we might need to come past, too!
You need to meet Susan and the fab Adrian, though, they'll make any party more fun, which is why we're trying to move him north on a permanent basis !
