Friday On My Mind


This is a Friday photo feature linked to Rhonda's Down To Earth blog. Simply post your own photo, write a short caption and leave the link back to it as you visit other blogs today.

I'm also thinking about plants today. This is the Great Holker Lime, planted in the early 1600s in the formal gardens at Holker Hall in Cumbria. It was listed as one of Britain's Top 50 Trees by the Tree Council(UK) in 2002 and has a girth of 7.9metres. Several tree-huggers are needed at a time to share the love!

Somewhat dwarfed!


Are you playing along today? Thinking about your own garden?


Have a great weekend wherever ye may be.


Love from Sue

    Hi Narelle, yes it's a beauty.

    I just came back to point out that it's not the citrus lime tree...it is tilia or linden or basswood in the US and it's deciduous.

    Yes that shade would be great in my yard...WOW it is a big tree!

    Thank you for the native garden idea for my lawn area. It would be nice to get some more birds etc. Oh but what about snakes...

    Have a great day Sue!
