Something quirky!

These have inspired me. There is a hole in the pavement that I pass whenever I walk to the shop. it is 9 inches across and four inches deep, and I have informed the road maintenance department (Clarence) three times. Each time they promise action, then cover it with a temporary piece of curling plywood that gets kicked aside. I shall fill it with compost and plant something in it.

An oak tree?

jeni,

I would if I had one - just a seedling but it might send a message to Clarence.

Fill it with nuts?

I could probably get you a Quercus pedunculata seedling, elegran.

Brazil nuts are hard to open, well.... what we call Brazil nuts. Aren't they from the inside of the nut, technically.

Heads googlewards....

Bags If I had a quercus pedunculatus I would plant it in my garden - not waste it on Clarence. Used to have two at our Border cottage (though they might have been the other sort) and they got together and dropped three little seedlings, which I would have loved to dig up up and bring here, but decided the garden was probably a bit small and towny for them. The neighbours would have objected to their lawns being shadowed.

Elegran that's lovely - tell us what you do!

Do with what, Oxon ?

I have one at the bottom of my garden. It's the one dd planted as an acorn to bonsai. Now at least12 ft tall!

Oh I see, about the 'ole. Yes, I will keep you posted. Not sure what I will do yet. I was planning another acid email to Clarence, but I might just sneak out after dark and make a mini-garden and then sit back and see what happens. The lollipop lady patrols hat corner so I can enlist her to report. she is up in arms too, waiting for a child to put a foot down the 'ole and break a leg.

That corner, not hat corner. She does wear an 'at though, so may be it is an 'at corner.

Who was looking for a better 'ole in the 40s? Dunno about 'ats.

Can't wait to find a suitable hole to make into a garden!

A fox?

If you knows of a better 'ole go to it? Or something like that. I shall google it.

Yes that's it.

Is anyone else a roundabout appreciator?

Love the 'magic roundabout' in Swindon - can't believe that it was actually built and it works...not pretty though
