Mark, if you want to use any of my pictures to project I can e-mail you some higher defintion versions once I've scaled the dizzy heights of the Stratford Via Ferrata with Maggi following of course!

[cohan]

nice scree, tony..

this reminds me, are there any good threads anyone can recommend on scree/general rock garden construction? i haven't tried searching yet, just thought there might be some favourite moments..

[mark smyth]

Martinr that size is OK

[shelagh]

Great pics Tony and good to see them on this forum.  I thought you might be getting ready for hibernation down there in the midlands.

[shelagh]

Don't know if these are any use Mark.  The setting is El Torcal north of Malaga and all the plants obviously enjoy it.

[Tony Lee]

Thanks Cohan and Shelagh,not hibernating just trying to find something to give you and Brian a challenge in October in the foliage class.

No competition from us at Loughborough Tony we shall be rocking with the SRGC at Falkirk.   Now Ponteland may be a different matter.

Thanks for the photos everyone. No-one seen any rockeries? I was out looking on Friday and saw nothing.

[David Nicholson]

Take a look at Luc's pics on the Front Yard thread-stunning!

I now have a photo of a 20 year old rockery but could do with a much younger one

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Not much rock there Mark... 
Have you followed David's hint ?  If you'd like to use one or more pix of mine, just let me know. 

[mark smyth]

Thanks Luc but what I need is what Mr and Mrs Joe Public would call a rockery - black plastic held down with stones, covered in bark or stones and planted with small trees and heathers.

The 'rockery' I showed above used to have stones, heather and small conifers

[Martinr]

You surely don't think any of us are going to admit to having one of those!

Mark, the most common local interpretation of a "rock garden" is a mound of soil with random rocks cast about on it (sometimes even painted various colours!) and planted with petunias...   Really.

Along the same lines (but involving not-inconsiderable expenditure!), there is a front yard "tufa garden" nearby that is quite an amazing sight.  If I can get up the nerve, I'll take and post a photo of it.
