Things are growing very well for you there.

I am always curious as to what people are using for their videos. What camera were you using please? Thanks, the quality was very good.

Great work John! Was that a lupin I saw there, it went by quickly so I wasn't sure but what a great mix of plants you have there :) I see less grass and more palms/plants in your future!

Its a Canon- powershot A2300, it wasn't too expensive about £40-£50 and does the job quite nicely.

Yes and also Jubaea chilensis but they are very expensive here and difficult to source. If I found either for the right price I would definitely get one!

Thanks, that process has already started, all the palms in the back were planted into the lawn nearly 3 years ago,and I created the border a month back. Yes I have 2 lupins in the back and 2 in the front, usually they die back in winter, but this winter was very mild and they kept some leaves right through and have been growing away for weeks now. They should flower late May at this rate, but its normally mid to late June.
