A lovely deep one that, Spritz....I wish I had more room!

You made some lovely choices at the garden centre and your flower bed is looking very pretty indeed. I do love the scent of phlox and the colour of yours is so unusual.
It looks as if there might be room for at least one more!!!

Oh, silly me! I've never noticed that before..... Sorry.

That Border looks great. You have chosen some lovely looking plants. I've just had a second go at removing Achillea The Pearl, good luck with removing yours.

I like the colouring too.

That's a great combination of colours. I have just started growing persicarias and am quite taken with them. Which one is this please?

Lovely to see your Fuchsia flowering so nicely! :)

That's a lovely open rose. I like the wavey petals very much and the colouring.

My friend is called Sally, she would lve to have this one!

Her Majesty wouldn't use such vulgar words even if she could get down on her knees & wriggle underneath a very prickly rose bush to try & remove a recalcitrant Vinca! :D

Well.....I am impressed that you are able to scrabble around on the ground....and get up again! You are obviously much fitter than I am.
I do agree one does need a project......at the moment I feel the garden could do with a good sorting out.....but I haven’t the energy or the inclination......my mojo has has departed.....I will leave the projects in your capable hands Spritz........you seem to be doing an excellent job!

Lol, I like the concept of Her Majesty down on her knees under the rose bush!
I like Solomons Seal too - watch out for eelworm though.
That little fern is very dainty and attractive - is it a Lady fern? Have put the Stylophorum on my wish list - thank you for showing it - looks very useful.

A project keeps a gardener sane. Rain and high winds stops outdoor play today! Plan the next project? Or undo the miscalculations?
I beg to differ about your having the most spiney Rose in the world. I've got it, a very old (species?) yellow from a runner from my neighbour. It's in a tub.
Hywell is right, put your Vinca in a hanging basket, (or an upturned rain butt lid) especially Jenny Pym, she's a right nuisance.

Well you cant keep a good woman down can you? A as for muttering swear words it happens to the best of us and I bet Her Majesty does too. :o)

Which vinca is it Spritz? I bet it is the one that is rampant in my atrocity corner as you gave me some on one of my visits many years ago.

The plants will appreciate the breath of air and the sight of the sun.

I like the rose even if it is prickly.

What a job you had on your hands there ... I hope you didn't get too many scratches from the rose.
I agree about Vinca being a thug. I have 3 Vincas but they are in pots. They are all V. minor and are staying firmly in their pots ! Actually they look nice in pots. Sometimes I place one of the pots in a hanging basket and let the Vinca cascade down, and since two of them are variegated they look rather nice.

I do like Solomon's Seal, mine has disappeared. I'll have to put it on my wish list again.
And that's a very pretty Fuchsia. It must be a hardy one. I like the blue/mauve ones best I think.
You have a very pretty Geranium in the last photo too :)

That's my girl, unusual plants to tempt us.

Nice colour.

That’s rather gorgeous.....

Love them......

I like these Salvias....

That’s different....

Very nice looking flowers!

That is very different! I like it. It would look fabulous with Ligularia Othello...well...in my imagination it would!

I just discovered this and I agree, its an excellent plant. Nice to see you back Barbara!

Very lovely! I’ve never seen it before.

Very pretty, deep pink colour.

Lovely one....

Such lovely mix of colours on these.

Bellflowers are very pretty little plants.

Ooooooh want one! :-)
