    About contrasting colours, John, I planted Pieris japonica approx. 20 years ago, then a lovely Japanese cherry, pink and white double flowers. Both have suddenly spread their branches together; a glorious sight and both are perfumed. Wish you could see it.

    I love the sound of a plane going over, but perhaps weirdly I hate the sound of traffic and other peoples music when i am gardening. I have really heavy clay soil which can be difficult to plant in, especially if I need a deeper hole. I broke the head of my ancient pickaxe last year, (digging up stones, not plants) watching you, i think i had better get another one. You should have twice as many subscribers, you never fail to make me smile, and you enthusiasm makes me want to dash out and start digging, unfortunately, it's raining (again) so perhaps tomorrow.

    Hey John and Subs.
    I have a question 🤔
    I've got a betula pendular silver birch tree on the way in a 2 litre pot.
    I have a smaller sized garden but need some privacy from houses at the rear.
    My question is... Can I prune this tree during autumn time to reduce it's height to about 7 ft?
