Please do laalratty, I for one will certainly be interested in it.

Yay, more trees for pickies, and a SHRUBBERY! Ahem.

On a side note Terry Jones and Michael Palin are coming to Aber for a special screening of A Life Of Brian. Tickets are sold out.

I suppose that if I said that French Marigolds are very nice flowers to put in, you'll say no. Pretty please?

Great stuff and I can't wait to get home to see it properly.

Before the Morecambe members invasion this afternoon, I completed this

A retaining wall for a small flowerbed between the lines at the lower loop points. Must admit, i'm rather pleased with the brickwork, which is much better than my previous efforts (which includes a rather shoddy manhole round the back of Boston Lodge works...

) I'm hoping once i've got some plants in the flowerbed, including a couple to tumble over the brickwork then the area should look much more photogenic than it was

Did you say 'flowerbed'? *ears perk up*. I repeat my plea for French Marigolds. And cornflowers,

And I reject your repeated plea for Marigolds and Cornflowers. Their not to scale and I don't like them

I'll put them in whilst you're asleep, ninja style.

So what flowers are you planning, then?

I was thinking at least one Campunenula (no doubt spelt hugely wrong) as it should look ace tumbling over the brickwork

can i suggest "mind your own bussiness" which is a good trailing plant, there are also types of dwarf trailing petunias which would give a waterfall of colour. There is also one with dark purple leaves ans yellow flowers that seems to self seed happily round here

Just put some Mind your own business on the other side of the track, you can see it in the photo just about. Might spread some across once the first bit is established. I would like something that grows quite tall to try and hide the 2 diverging lines from each other, there might be a conifer going in if the posistion is sunny enough

I'm think of using 'mind your own buisness' on my railway. How fast does it grow?

once its settled down after planting (couple of weeks), it grows very quickly!

This is after a week of putting a pot of it by the line!

yeah right Mr Midgley, how come that tray of MYOB you gave me hasn't spread like that then, as its had more then a week?!

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Sat May 23, 2009 9:02 pm

Okay, that's good enough for my line.
