In my garden, it's rabbits, the sun (which my kids call "The Death Star"), very dry wind, summer drought and snakes (although that's more of a mental challenge). We also have a recurring phenomenon of dust suspended in hot air that comes from the Sahara (not fun). So, as you can see, my delicate-looking roses are a lot tougher than they look!Lady of LaManchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825909160224471681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992700735616267338.post-45164159604561812692014-10-29T08:26:15.756-07:002014-10-29T08:26:15.756-07:00Dear Lady of laMancha, Here Holland again.

I have a lot of Spanish <br />visitors last weeks, now I know why! <br />I wish I could send you an email to show the container pots I have planted in with tulips and other bulbs. I know there are a lot of problems with rabbits and tulips. I have groups of deer visiting my garden. They can eat hundred of tulips in a blink of an eye.<br />That keeps gardening challenging don't you think!<br />Groetjes,<br /><br />Hettydutchgardenstories@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294464215979773987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992700735616267338.post-21634797959902297212014-10-23T14:46:42.639-07:002014-10-23T14:46:42.639-07:00Hetty, Tuincentrum Lottum is quite popular among S...Hetty, Tuincentrum Lottum is quite popular among Spanish rose lovers because their prices are so low and their selection is quite good. They sell bare root roses for 4.50€ - 5.50€, whereas an Austin rose at a garden center in Spain will cost you 18€.<br /><br />Someday I will do a post about my village's elm tree - it is quite interesting, actually.<br /><br />Karen Lady of LaManchahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07825909160224471681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992700735616267338.post-44193243781785412452014-10-23T13:47:19.190-07:002014-10-23T13:47:19.190-07:00Dear Lady of la Mancha, thank you for your kind co...Dear Lady of la Mancha, thank you for your kind comment on my blog! Did you know that I also buy roses in Lottum? About the owl, I have never seen one in the "wild". And you have an exception elm tree! I have seen the link. So it is not all that bad in Spain! I envy you too. <br />Groetjes from Holland,<br /><br />Hettydutchgardenstories@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294464215979773987noreply@blogger.com
