Equipment/plants.

Throwing ourselves into "country" life...we have realized we own very little gardening equipment. All we have is a trowel and a plastic heron!!!...and they wont be much use as we try to keep a front garden, a back garden and a field under control.
So, Terence is battling for a Flymo 2 stroke petrol L47 model with 19 inch steel blade on Ebay. If he fails, there is always the Allen 221 xl 2 stroke petrol hover.
At the moment the trees are bare and there is little colour around. The previous owners said that very soon there will be blossoms and bluebells...and its going to be great.To go with all the established plants,I have ordered some easy to grow young plants from Thompson and Morgan....36 young plants will soon be delivered to our front door. They include Red Hot Pokers, which I love. Apparently, the deer come down into peoples gardens and munch their way through rose bushes ...so we will have to see how long my young plants survive...and maybe protect them with some barbed wire.?? When I was little, we had a great big forsythia bush in our garden...it had bright yellow flowers and grew out of control every year. I would love to have one of those here....get the cheque book out-wheres the nearest garden centre?
