Fig Tree - Whitecroft1516 次查看We have what the gardeners call a "micro climate" at Whitecroft. It's near the boiler, and just beneath the exhaust fan from the kitchen. The fig tree loves it. Okay, it's not the sunshine of Turkey or Greece, but you take what warmth you can get here in sunny Worcestershire.

The Duck Weed Pond991 次查看Behind all the overgrown grass is the duck weed pond where Kiko likes to throw his ball. We're working on removing the overgrown plants, and getting the fountain (which you can't see anyway) to work again.

Whitecroft Garden Fountain965 次查看Vic, Andy, and crew just installed a new pump, filter system, and and some underwater lights. The water is much cleaner, and there's no blanket weed (yet). I love the sound of the water in the metal trays of the fountain -- a bit like a wind chime.
