Sorry @Purplerain,it was just a pic of Boris with his Dad,they are all devastated,but plan on getting another Siamese. I'll post a pic when they get him,in the Tarw thread.
Hubby went mad yesterday shouting at England.....he loves Rugby!
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
@Purplerain,..good luck with the Tumbling Toms,..i hope you will have as good a harvest as you did last year.
@Valley Gardener,..ah so it was Hubby that the Ireland Team heeded,..and won lol,..truth is i didn't expect them to win,..nice surprise.
I had started to get rid of my huge Fuchsia and cut down to about half way then left the remainder for today,..what a job whew,..with several types of manual Saw and Hatchet i attacked the remainder of the Fuchsia today,..the Fuchsia is removed roots and all.
The image below is of a Phlox 'Windsor',..there are far too many shoots so i will cut off a few,..dip them in Rooting Powder and hope they take root,..the same should apply to my Delphiniums in about a week.
A massive Fuchsia! Do their roots go far,if I leave mine to grow I don't want the roots to invade under the wall!It's about 3 feet from the wall,and it's now been pruned back to 3 feet high. They are so pretty in bloom,and they flower for so long.

This thread is very interesting , like popping round for a coffee with friends and talking none stop about plants etc I've started to take some photos of my hellebors .then I will check on what to do next.the photos here are beautifully set out. I can't promise that though.one thing I wanted to ask though .I bought a yellow hellebore.been lovely deep yellow up to few years back .it's now gone back to a wishy washy white. Is there an answer of why this happened ?
@Valley Gardener. Hi, I find that fuchsia roots do spread far and wide. I have a full hedge (grown from cuttings only about two years ago) and they are almost like trees now. In the last gale they were all blown over despite being wired to the wall and I have had to re-erect each one individually. I know they will have come to no harm as nothing seems to deter them. In the summer they are covered in bees. @granma I know what you mean about the thread. Someone will answer your question very soon. Yesterday I bought my first hellebore! The first time I have seen them for sale in B&Q. It is Winter Moonbeam and not the most colourful but the only one available. It is extremely healthy with lovely flowers and plenty of buds and used to the outdoors. Where is the best place to plant it out and what sort of conditions does it like? When does it stop flowering? Don't know anything about them really. Do hope I do it justice.

@Valley Gardener,..sorry about the late answer,..i was away from the computer for a few days,..just a break away to rest my eyes lol.
The roots of my Fuchsia went deeper than i expected,..i had cut off the roots about 30cm from the surface so i could carry away the trunk,..when i was digging a hole to plant some Arum Lily plants i discovered the roots went approx 90cm deep.

@granma,..delighted you find this thread interesting,..its not just the photos its the people who keep it going,..to whom i am grateful.
Oh when you have your images ready just post them,..looking forward to seeing your Hellebore plants,..oh that Hellebore you say was a deep yellow and now is a wishy washy white has probably reverted back to its parent plant colour.

Hi Fran,,,Congrats on your first Hellebore,..'Winter Moonbeam',..sounds nice and its blooming well for you,..Hellebore plants like partial shade to really be in best form though they will tolerate most conditions,..they are really a woodland type plant and so would not be exposed to full sun all of the time,..mine are in bloom from Feb to the end of May and even longer,..mine thrive in a rich moist soil.
