First of all I like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Secondly I would like to say sorry for the lack of post last year. It was partly to do with a family situation, and also the fact I had trouble with the tablet I use to write this on...<br />
<br />
Hopefully I have sorted the problem out, so full stream ahead</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It as been a while since I have done an updates on my grandmother's tree.<br />
<br />
Before I start I best say I can not promise I will do a post every single month.<br />
<br />
So like I have said in the past, nearly every day I walk or drive past my grandmother's tree. In some ways you could say I've been #treefollowing.<br />
I do have to report back to family.<br />
<br />
Back in May I noticed how my tree had started to blossom, by the 11th the tree was in full bloom... Then on the 14th of June I noticed my tree had lost its blossom.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In my last post I wrote how I had hit a brick wall, lost my gardening mojo. Down to the fact slugs and snails had ate everythink even the stuff I grew from seed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started to give up on my passion in life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just like I did when I was fourteen years old, w</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">hich made me very much sad.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then somethink beautiful happened - nature.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nature took complete over and I didn't really mind either... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nature shown me to not give up, not even to give up on your dreams.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is how the well nature took over.</span></div>

I'm not happy about the rose I bought from local Morrison's store. The rose I bought was the Queen Elizabeth Rose for £5.00 , but to me it looks like the rose as died, actually when I planted it there was not much of a root on it either.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Back in May I wrote about my plan to use up most or all of my seed stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off well, then one night while I was at work on my break I got a call from my mum to say the garden is covered with snails and slugs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was horrified to hear that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I ordered nemaslug and two days after it arrived I made the formula up and watered my garden. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then that night and the next few nights I was out collecting them up in a 5ltr clear empty water bottle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At one point it creeped me out.... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as you can guess they ate everythink I grew from seed. I was so heartbroken, I think I must be still.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today is Friday 22nd of July and I have hit a all time low, fed up with how the garden looks..<br />
<br />
I'm seriously hoping I snap out of it soon..<br />
Only time will tell. </div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you follow my crafting blog you will know how I am trying to clear out my craft supplies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it won't be such of a surprise, that is what I am hoping to do with all my seeds. Shocker right? A true gardener wouldn't do that I hear you say...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well honestly I don't want to de-stash.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But every season I like most of you, I buy most of the gardening magazines which give more free seeds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So how bad is it really - well here is the proof!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of the packets I just can't find, down to the fact - I've stashed them away.... Well and truly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the coming weeks I'll let you know how I get on..</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I noticed the first week of December on twitter and on my local news, how everywhere had spring flowers out.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then on the 15th of December my family and myself went to Wales to visit friends and pick up our new family member (Which I will write about soon). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway on our way through Yeovil, we came across daffodils right along the road for a few miles. I honestly tried so hard to get a photo - but failed!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then a few days before - well it was a few nights before Christmas week I noticed, Life in my little garden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Saint Johns wort</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rasphy in Blue rose</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rhododendron</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Flowers out on Fushia's and Geranium's </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Even the hyacinth's have popped up.. Not bad as I bought these last year at my local <a href="http://www.morrisons.com/" target="_blank">Morrison's </a> store for 15p each was £2 they were reduced!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">At the time I was ill so I could not get any pictures.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
• Tropical Weymouth </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
• Reviews</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
• All Seeds out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be working on the above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I think I have said before how my little garden becomes a jungle during the summer. It is normal down to how much I grow. From tomato's, to beans, yams and cucamelons, the list goes on...<br />
<br />
But this year I have failed, to spend time in the garden. I have grown sweet peas, wild flowers and garlic. My garlic is a bit behind, maybe about six weeks or more. I'm still waiting and praying for the scapes to appear!<br />
<br />
I got my garlic bulbs 30 for £9.99 (please keep in mind price may change) from <a href="http://www.southwestgarlicfarm.co.uk/" target="_blank">South West Garlic Farm</a> base here in Dorset. Mark and his family is well known for their Black Garlic!<br />
<br />
Which by the way I have tried and wow the garlic its self doesn't taste like the white blub garlic that you get in the supermarkets. How can I described it, hmmm, to me the black garlic as a kind of sweet taste to it!<br />
<br />

Remember the Christmas tree I bought from <a href="http://www.grovesnurseries.co.uk/?fdPreferredSiteFormat=2#.VbF8AihwZSA" target="_blank">Groves at Bridport</a> about two years ago or more.. Well I finally found a nice pot to pot it up in back in April. I also bought a couple more of the same pot. To pot up two other plants I just wished I got more now. I used one of the pots to pot up the rose I bought for my mum on mother's day a few years back ' Rhapsody In Blue' also from Groves at Bridport.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus two years ago my mum bought me a tea plant, I'm ashamed to say its took till April this year to find the right pot! </div>

So Ive named this post as 'Going Wild' well... I have a buddleia that appeared, I think I have wrote about it before now. Anyway I thought I was on top of it, keeping the buddleia under control. Then last month I was not to good with my health. So I think the plant had decided to go completely wild. I know people call it a weed, an unloved plant. But I have always like the buddleia since I was little. I have fond memories of walking to school in the summer and looking forward to seeing the buddleia to see what bees or butterflies was on it. Has I walked past on my way to and from my little primary school..</div>

Wow, I can not believe how fast the #treefollows come round. . . I am not complaining honestly.<br />
<br />
Yesterday (5/6/15) while walking home in the evening I popped into the gardens to see my tree.<br />

So while I was there checking to see what had changed or not. I got asked by a lady who was walking her dog what was I upto? I explained the tree was for my grandmother and that I write about the tree in a monthly #treefollow. The lady said that the #treefollow sounded interesting, she smiled and carried on walking around the park with her dog. I then carried on what I was doing taking notes and photos. </div>

So I checked the leaves to see if someone had been nubbling them, from what I can see no one as been.</div>

So nearly every day I walk past the gardens either too or from work, friends and family. You would think I would notice when somethink as changed. Right?<br />
<br />
Well its not always the case, some time the gardens are really busy with students or people walking their dog's. So I wait patiently for a quite moment. I suppose really I don't really want people questioning what I'm up to. Bad I know..<br />
<br />
Anyway!<br />
<br />
About two weeks after my last post about the gardens and my tree. The Prunus Grandiflora (grandmother's tree) started to bloom. Yay!!!<br />
<br />

Look how beautiful this one above turn out. After me taking picture after picture to get the right one..<br />
<br />
The rest of the garden since the new fencing went up is slowly getting there. I first thought WHAT!!! No shrubs, but I'm not sure if you can tell by the picture below. There is wild flowers and grass growing. Maybe the local gardeners will class the wild flowers as weeds.. But for me I like love the let nature take its course kind of thing!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
The past couple of week I have been busy on my days off sorting out the garden. I finally decided to get rid of the unused barque that was falling to bits.. Due to weather and the little family of woodlice. Which I'm not entitle sure how they have moved in. Maybe its due to the plant swapes/shares and buying! I really do not mind how they have moved in, I think they are cute..<br />

Has you can see from the picture above (1) the barque has gone... Also remember the New Zealand Flax? That my aunt was going to have, well she never came to get the flax. Then last winter hit and I believe the flax died, so I sorted the pot out and bagged up the plant. The picture is above (2) is how the planter is looking at the moment..</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Round about the 25th of last month I noticed the local council gardening team was up to some think...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then a few days later while I was walking home. I had a nasty shock, the gardening team had removed all the wire fencing. The place looks a complete mess..</div>
<br />

The Saint John's Gardens do not look that bad from the picture above. Right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is only when you get up close and have a good look you see how bad the gardens look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The three pictures below you will see what I mean. They have ripped up the all the shrubs and bush's, some roses too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes I do wonder why I do this blog and the #treefollow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then somethink happens and then I remember why I started <i>Busy Bees Garden </i>or should say it was originally called <i>My Little Garden Heaven.</i> For me it is my way to show and express my love for all things plant/gardening related....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kind of my way of taking some of the load off driving my family up the wall..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talk about family before joining <a href="http://looseandleafy.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">looseandleafy #treefollow</a> ... I use to repeat the same info to each family member that asked about our tree... But now I just send them all a link to this blog..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So back to the tree in question. . .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wander past the Saint John's Gardens nearly every day. So I notice when some think as happened within the gardens and especially</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with Grand's tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please don't judge nor laugh when I say not a lot is happening to grandmothers tree, even the little flowers that was at the base of the tree as gone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Makes me wonder were the flowers have gone too.. They were there yesterday , but have gone today. Makes me think have they died over night or have they been picked. . . We will never know! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I have noticed is the local council gardening team are working in the gardens. I was entirely sure what they were up to. Until I walked past just now..... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are giving the Roses the chop...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think I can definitely say winter as hint my</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 'Prunus Padus Grandiflora' and the little Victorian Gardens that it is in..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have noticed the past couple of times I have walked past the gardens how the place looks a bit run down and well used too... Sad thing I've noticed is some one as pulled down the wired fence... I am not entitle sure what or how the Victorians would feel to see the place now... I guess heart broken! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to do some digging to find out more about the gardens... So I dig out my Dorset books to do some research.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is what I have discovered about the land that the gardens are situated on was owned by Sir Frederic Johnston (a Conservative party member).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sir Frederic Johnston was also the same man that own Greenhill Gardens ( which I am working on a post about).. I believe Frederic also owned the Alexandra Gardens too... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to the little gardens I learnt Sir Frederic Johnston gave the land to the local council for the gardens. He wanted local people who did not have a garden have a place to go...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gardens was opened on Wednesday 20th July 1904 and was named Saint Johns Gardens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The picture below is how the gardens looked once opened..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Which to me makes kind of sense... Has up and around the corner is Saint Johns Church. Across the road from the church was the school, also called Saint Johns... Now stands an block of flats where the school was...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to Saint Johns Gardens, the Prunus Padus Grandiflora has lost its leaves. But there is signs of Spring is on its way... </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since my last post not so long ago!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not much seem to have happened to the Prunus Padus Grandiflora aka Grandmother's tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tree seems to be just sitting there watching people, students and the local council gardening team come and go...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But secretly Grandmothers tree is slowly going into sleep mode.<br />
<br />
Will update very soon!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I have not really done much in the garden. I seem to of just let nature take over. Okay I did kind of tidying up, started to paint the place and adding new plants to my little heaven.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sad thing is I haven't had much of a chance to spend time out doors to enjoy.</span><br />

I only realised yesterday on my way home from work that I had not written my #TreeFollowing post for the month......<br />
<br />
So as I walked past yesterday on my way home.. I noticed not a lot as changed, maybe the weather is at play again - with confusing all the plants what time of year it is...<br />
<br />
I noticed the trees in the gardens where slowly going into sleep mode for the winter. Apart from the Roses they are still flowering, also the <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: center;"><u style="font-style: italic;">Osteospermum</u> are still flowering around the gardens. The only tree that is taking its time over things is </span>my grandmother's tree. Which still has leaves on, the only thing I couldn't see was the fruit...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think for the first time in a while. I have made the deadline for </span><a href="http://looseandleafy.blogspot.co.uk/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">'Looseandleafy'</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> #treefollowing . .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last month I was in the middle of writing this post. When I and the rest of my family received some bad news.. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't worry I won't keep on about it! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a happier note I have so exciting news... Yay!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Believe I have found out what my grandmothers tree is. With help from The One Show gardener <a href="http://www.christinewalkden.com/" target="_blank">Christine Walkden</a> and <a href="http://www.chrisbeardshaw.com/index.html" target="_blank">Chris Beardshaw</a>. You can find Chris presenting on <a href="http://www.thebeechgrovegarden.com/" target="_blank">Beechgrove Garden</a>.. But for me and rest of you will best know Christina and Chris for appearing in our favourite gardening magazines or being at RHS Shows the list goes on!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I sent some pictures of the tree to them. Both Christina and Chris reply back to say the tree look's like..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prunus Padus Grandiflora</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am a bit old school, as I always try and look in my gardening reference's books before I go online.. But I think this time I was over looking as I couldn't at the time find what I was looking.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end I ended up on the internet.... </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I looked at the pictures on google and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then I went on to the</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/14012/Bird-cherry/Details" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">RHS</span></a> website. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Grandmothers defo looks like a Prunus Padus Grandiflora</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorry there isn't any pictures this month! </span></div>
