LOL! No need...there's stacks of blackberries here. Pies coming up! Where are we having the picnic then? And who's supplying the grog? :mrgreen:
 
Heh, i'm sure I can sort out some grog, what with AssManagering a bar and all...pretty far between Leeds n Devon though heh I hear Chernobyl is nice this time of year.
 
|I think it is someone just 'borrowing'greenhouse space lol.

I know many garden centres in the same condition just have a little more stock
 
A new method of stopping theft!

Thanks for these Nij.

What fascinated me was this picture - seems a long term method of preventing tree theft :lol:

I assume the fence was so tight at one time that the tree was forced to "absorb" it in order to continue growing?

This looks like a sycamore to me and these do tend to grow in all sorts of strange placed. Plus they exert tremendous forces - we had one next door to us which managed to dislodge our adjoining brick wall from its foundations.
