Paddy's Garden, a quick walk around

[Maggi Young]

I had a bit of Christmas (fruit etc; storebought) cake while waiting for breakfast (fried egg and french fries!! on a panini bun) followed by coffee and chocolates

I'm so glad that you are eating well to keep your strength up for the winter, cohan. Food is fuel, y'know!

Tks, Paddy, I'm sure people drink that here as well, under a different name-- oh yeah- Mimosa!
Somehow I never acquired a taste for alcohol, so stick to sugar and caffeine as the basis of my vices

Maggi- never fear, I am abundantly fuelled for the winter ..lol

Lovely garden Paddy.

(I hadn't seen this thread before now.)

Paddy, I love your garden. The picture from above is giving a great view of your place. So much bigger then mine is. Most of all I like your Hydrangea's. They are my favorites too. And your veg garden is so nice and must give you a lot of nice vegables and fruit.

Maggie, I hope you are getting better soon and want to thank you for all your work here at the forum. I always enjoy your writing.

Lina.

Many thanks for the kind comments.

Lina, the bed of hydrangeas must be the easiest bed to keep in the garden. We prune the hydrangeas in spring and little else needs to be done and they give a lovely display at the end of the summer - all very easy and rewarding.

I enjoy the vegetable growing very much. There isn't a lot there at this time of year though, parsnips only. Brocolli will be good in spring and onions and garlic are growing well for next year.

I have to write in the Christmas wish topic :-) I am wishing the cutting what  Paddy cut down from the hydrogenous at the spring :-)

I hadn't seen this thread when it was here earlier, so its nice that someone happened upon it and drew it to my attention.  Lovely garden, Paddy, you keep it so tidy.  Mine is such a jungle in comparison.  Thanks for sharing it with us!  Our Christmas Day breakfast is always Canadian pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup... we don't indulge ourselves with this all the time, but on the winter feast day, we always do.  Blueberries from our own bushes

I guarantee that you've piqued the interest of all Canadians looking in on this forum, Chris!    What are "Canadian pancakes"?

Oh, as I think about it, it must be the maple syrup and maybe the blueberries, perhaps not the pancakes themselves!

[ChrisB]

Hi Lori,

Yes, I said that as here in the Uk, pancakes are what Canadians call crepes.  I could have said North American pancakes I suppose....

Paddy greeted!

Beautiful garden, that he demands much part, but I believe, you enjoy at this.

Best regards! Zvone
