In all its 'copperness' ..... don't think that is even a word but as I walked up to Mum's (with our take way Scampi and chips) I had to stop and take this with my phone.
It's a very special landmark in so many ways, but after digging some potatoes I planted earlier in the year I really think it is taking a lot of 'energy' out of the garden. Allan's potatoes planted at the same time are much bigger! 😄😄
Three good things
1. Early start meant a great drive up with only light traffic.
2. Visit to a lovely friend of Mum's. She lives on her own and grateful for kind neighbours as 96 and eyesight problems.
3. Scampi and chips- Mum's request and I don't mind - easy supper after gardening 😊
Yes, I think all our trees take a lot of energy out of our garden too! I love a copper beech though. We don't have one, but there's one on my way to the shops. I love it, with and without leaves - it has a most beautiful shape underneath the foliage.
I have a copper beech tree - huge one that is over 200 years old. We adore it. One of the highlights of Autumn is seeing it change into that amazing golden colour.
I think you will be right Sallie...it’s bound to sap the ground of water! This is a massive tree, beautiful though! A rest treat after a busy day...I also wanted fish & chips tonight as a treat but when I went to the chippy it was shut...had to come back & cook! I wasn’t happy as the place has always been open before on a Sunday.
