I think most Garden Centres are stocking them now, and they really stand out in my borders!

On blog - New plants.

 

No, I missed that. I'd have liked to watch it!

I am glad you have yours under control, Andrew

 

DONT!!!

I have my favourite rose, "Rhapsody in Blue', a purple Salvia and lots of pansies.

Yes, I really enjoy planting up the pot. It was a great 'find' at the reclamation yard! I was so lucky to find a perfect pedestal for the pot.

Hywel, apparently the box moth is a pest in our area, and it's spreading to other areas, too!

Oops, Seaburn, apologies!!

 

I'm sorry, but the shrub is right in the middle of the bed and I can't reach it!

 

Not brugmansia...and yes, I dug the plant up and kept it in a pot in case of cold weather.

Yes, I just have another check up in 2 weeks' time, plus a phone check to finish it, after a year.

 

Hallo Hywel - nice to see you, even if you can't ID my plant!

 

No, it isn't, but thank you. X

 

Well, I have had the second one done, so HOORAY!!!!! I am allowed back in the garden. I have to confess that I did creep round chopping off the dead heads of my innumerable Byzantine Gladioli...but I wasn't bending over, so all was well.

The BEST thing after the second cataract was removed was seeing my blue flowers. My Geraniums GLOWED!!!!

On blog - Oh dear!

 

That was AMAZING! Well done. Do you think you might open for the NGS in the future? Yes, I know it's hard work, but it's well worth it, giving pleasure to your visitors. XXX

P.S. Love that twisty path...

 

They really are beautiful, aren't they.

 

Lovely - especially that rose!

 

Hallo, everyone, I was supposed to have both eyes done on the same day but the Surgeon wasn't happy about it, so I've had the worse one done and have an appointment booked for the second one in two weeks' time.

Thank you all for your good wishes! P.S. I'm banned from gardening atm. BOOO!!!!!

The op went well, I was told...I was amazed how many of you have had cataracts!

On blog - Oh dear!

 

Thank you for your kind words. Not long now!

Thank you all for your kind comments!

Siris, my Sophora has been in my garden for a number of years and is completely hardy here, I'm glad to say. 👏☺️

On blog - My yellow garden.

 

Thanks, both! I think Seaburn may be right on her ID. I googled it and it looks right.

 

I can't wait to see my pink Caryopteris!

On blog - And the next!

 

It's so frilly, isn't it. :]]

Yes, I like it very much. It was discovered not far from here! Go on Shirley - you know you want to! :))
