Well thatβs great news Janeβ¦..hope he continues to get well, you must be a good nurse..πππΌ

Thanks Elaine, itβs been a huge learning curve π₯° @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Morning Jane .. aww bless him π

Morning Jane π Little cutie π

Well saved! Sometimes gardeners have to be ruthless!π. I love this Quinceπ₯°

Hi everyone. Thanks so much for all the support and lovely words you have sent my way, it has meant more than you will ever know. Neil came out of hospital three days ago and it's going to be a long journey back to health for him but I'm surrounded by my wonderful family who are going above and beyond to help me β€οΈ #japanese-quince-knap-hill-scarlet

Well, thatβs some good news! Neil will improve every day, at home and with the love of familyπ₯°

Good news Jane! Rehab is always better at home with loved ones! Continued success and take care! ππ

So pleased heβs home, canβt beat being in your own place. ππ€he continues to make progress. Bless you both

Good news Jane all the best

Excellent news Jane, thinking of you π

Such great news Jane. So happy Neil is home and with loved ones. Take care π₯°
Thatβs good news Jane hope all continues to go well all the best

So sorry to hear about Neil, I missed your last post Jane, so pleased heβs back home with you and that you have family helping you, make sure you take time to take care of yourself too at this time, sending hugs to you and Neil for a speedy recovery π₯°

Sending best wishes to Neil. Sounds like luck was on his side. Long may that continue now that he is bionic xx

The best news, he's looking better now he's home and I'm trying to get us into some sort of routine. Thanks you all π₯° @Auricula @ShelleySnyder @joanboston @Jean12345 @lilybee @hkyfvr @anl @gjones @sieveheadsarah

I'll pass that on Jacqueline, thank you. He's had an ICD fitted which gives us hope for the future π₯° @awomanonabike

Morning everyone. My #japanese-quince-knap-hill-scarlet has buds, I hope I get a few more flowers than I did this year 𧑠#chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet

Morning Jane, Adele and I have tried to grow this, we love it π₯° @opiewan

Fingers π€

Me too Elise, the flowers are gorgeous and it's some early colour too. Good luck with yours both of you 𧑠@opiewan

Well it's a start. Most of the plant is way behind π #februaryblooms #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet #japanese-quince-knap-hill-scarlet

I love these. Iβve bought 2 different ones to train as a hedge.

gorgeous Jane, nice early colour.. @pelly

They'll look lovely as a hedge π @DeborahBanks

Need to see if mine is still alive, only a tiny plant from Wilko last year, didn't really grow at all

Thanks Jo, much needed π @hobnob

They do seem to be rather slow growing. I hope yours is ok π€ @hebelover

Oh must check my cutting ππ»

π€π€π€ @juliesgarden

Gorgeous π

Thanks Elise. I really love it π @Auricula

I think Adele was trying to get a cutting of one of these going - @opiewan

Quite a few flowers second time around for my Japanese Quince β€οΈ #japanese-quince-knap-scarlet #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet

Such pretty flowers. β€οΈβ€οΈ

I love them thanks β€οΈ @hkyfvr

Love the bright red of the flowers, maybe in a few years for me

Always welcome. I can see why β€οΈβ€οΈ

A very worthy plant. This has flowered twice this year π @hebelover

It looks like my Japanese Quince is going to flower again, there are lots of buds on it. Is this normal? π€ #japanese-quince-knaps-scarlet #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet #unexpectedsurprise

Thatβs great Jane π€

Thanks Enid, a nice surprise π @godfreye

Mine has had more flowers and so has my camellia- I think itβs the rain - allowing it to go for it π€π€©

Now these are the sort of unusual occurrences that are most welcome π

Yes you could be right Sharon, I hadn't thought about that π€ @sharonhayden

They certainly are Angela πΈ @italydiva

Morning everyone. I think this has to be my #bestofmarch itβs come on so well since I moved it last year πΈ. Have a super Saturday #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet #japanese-quince-knaps-scarlet

Morning Jane..beautiful..you tooπβΊοΈ

Morning Jane βLove this one so much, a definite wishlist π

Morning Julie, thank you πββοΈπ @juliesgarden

Morning Jane and that is stunning π

Morning Jason. If you get one donβt make the same mistake as I did originally and put it where you canβt see it close up very well. It deserves to be seen in all its glory π @hebelover

Morning Jane, it's a beauty! π

Thanks Jeremy, it really is π @jpea

Morning Ange, thank you π @anges

It's something I've wanted since I started, and although I haven't gone out of my way looking for one, it's the one plant I've never seen for sale (that and Garrya..another that I want) I could order online, but shrubs are something I want to see the shape of before I buy. However my friend has just told be about a nursery that I haven't been too π€ And from what she's said it could be promising

That is lovelt, mine has never really done much so perhaps a move is on the cards.

Absolutely stunning! π

Good morning Jane thatβs lovely the weather is sleeting needs to go awayπ€

Morning Enid, thanks. It's supposed to be the same here but we seem to be avoiding it. I hope it stops for you soon π¨οΈ @godfreye

Thatβs pretty π

Thanks Julie, I can't wait for it to flower π @juliesgarden

Afternoon Jane, love the flowers on these πΈπΈπΈ

Afternoon Ange, so do I, they're so bright and cheerful π @anges

Lots of flower buds there, had a quick peek of mine on way to tunnel but just new foliage, couldnβt see any buds yet. Hopefully soon π€πΌ

I had to move this a couple of months ago as it was half dead so I'm delighted that it's starting to flower now. Hopefully it likes it's new spot and will thrive now #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet β€

I hope so, it was a birthday present last year so I didn't want to use it β€ @auricula

My beautiful new Chaenomeles #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet #floweringquince 22/3/19

Wow!! I love that Jane. Thatβs on my wishlist & Iβm going to the GC on Monday so Iβm hoping to bring one home π

You wonβt regret it Lexi, Iβve wanted one for ages. I hope you manage to get one @lexijane ππ

Thanks Jane. Where did you get yours from β€οΈβ€οΈ

Beautiful xπ

π€© that's fantastic

Cor! That opened quickly Jane. Think it likes you π§‘π

Wow π² great clusters of flowers...β€οΈ

It was from a GC near me Lexi, not much help Iβm afraid @lexijane ππ

Thanks ladies @Williamson @Diane76 β€οΈβ€οΈ

It was in flower when I bought it Nicola @jendren ππ

Really chuffed with it Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom β€οΈβ€οΈ

Finally got it in in between the showers #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet #newlyplanted #birthdaypresent 18/3/19

Yay! And happy belated birthday! I must put some chaenomeles in my new border, great for this time of year and a long season of interest!

Thanks Tash, and that's what I thought and that is missing in this border @tash74 ππ

I think that must be the name of mine.....I havenβt got a label β€οΈ

Itβs called red but itβs more of a coral @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom ππ

Cataloguing third one off my wish list today. Itβs been a good one ππ #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet 11/3/19

Oh I have the itβs wonderful flowering most of the winter and the flowers seem to get brighter

Good to hear, thanks Sharon @sharonhayden ππ

Thatβs what happens when you retire, Jane. Lots of extra time to go to garden centres! π€£π @pelly

So glad you are enjoying your retirement, shopping πππ

Iβm finding that out Barbara, I need to reign myself in a bit as Iβve also been ordering online π± but they are all off my wish list and in my defence they are birthday presents @jacaranda ππ

Iβve wanted one for a while Laura, I had the pale pink one on my wish list, but I decided I liked this better and it will show up more @columbiariver β€οΈβ€οΈ

Oh itβs great fun Sue @suerichards but I need to stop and take stock now. Iβm redesigning the border at the bottom of the garden as Iβve never been really happy with it, so more shrubs are going in to bulk it out a bit @suerichards ππ
Morning everyone. I'm happy to see my #chaenomeles-knap-hill-scarlet flowering again β€οΈ #japanese-quince-knap-hill-scarlet
