Honey Locust

I have had this tree on my wish list since our last visit to Canada two years ago where I first fell in love with her striking leave shape and colour.  Thanks to a chance discovery in a local nursery, the beautiful gleditsia triacanthos  is now firmly planted in the Sunnyside garden, showing off her splendid acid yellow foliage.  

The wild flower meadow

It might not look like one yet, but this is our new wild flower meadow.  After a couple of weekends of power harrowing sowing, rolling and digging in fence and gate posts and burying small children, we are not far away!  Just need the rain now.
