Veggie's random garden

Ents?? Like Tenents??
The Green man I bought years ago from a woodcarver; the second one has a brother somewhere - they were a gift from Korean neighbours - traditional gods of the house or something and the face on the tree stump was homemade and is pulling a face at my neighbours.

Ents, as in Lord of the Rings, tree shaped beings. I don't need a tree to help me pull faces at my neighbours, I'm self sufficient in face pulling 

We ought to have a thread of pictures of garden residents. We've met Colin and my Norman there must be others as daft as us.

Never read it - its too heavy. If it fell on my nose in bed, it would break it.

TBH, I've not managed to read it end to end either

For those who've not read it but are LotR curious,  I would recommend the BBC Radio dramatisation from the 80s. Pretty true to the essence of the book, great cast and perfect as a background to those methodical jobs on the potting bench!

I'm gonna listen to that! Thank you.

These are some of the Tree people who live in the garden - they say Hello!

Superb.  Hello tree people ( are they Ents?) Nice to meet you.  Did you carve them V?

I was going to ask if they were ents 

           

More photos of disappearing paths! The middle path, (Apple Avenue) under the apple trees has almost disappeared.

Nice looking woodland glade. Very calming I would imagine?

Calming until a bramble/nettle/sticky willie leaps out and grabs you.

Its a "Slow garden" - you can't walk round it fast or ever feel that you've tamed it. It doesn't matter how much weeding you do, turn a corner and there's more. Equally, turn a corner and there's a flower that you haven't spotted before or some fruit ready to pick and eat.
It would drive most people potty - that's why I like it.
