Gratuitous Cat pictures



I set up a new sunny rack for the pines and citrus trees. The cat took up residence immediately.

Hail damage


Stupid weather. Just had a giant thunder storm over north London. Bet the people watching the soccer down the road weren’t pleased. It took a fair number of leaves of some maples and really smashed all the new growth on my Calamondin.

Herons visit


Last week i was down in Kent and made a detour past Herons. I got there quite late in the day - but they were kind enough to allow me a quick tour. I didn't have enough time to have a really detailed look - just took a few pictures and had a walk about. I'm sure I missed some bits.


A large selection of plants of all common bonsai species was available for sale. There was a good selection of natives as well.


Many interesting things lurked in this tunnel. I wish i had had a day to do a thorough inspection.



One of the best selections of larger pots i have seen. Perfect for my larger trees. Prices seemed reasonable. I didn’t get around to the dried goods - but i have no doubt that all the favourite consumables could be had.



The growing beds were extensive and well stocked with good looking material.

I was very impressed with the nursery. A must see for any London or southern growers. I will be back.
