    Thank you 😊. I hope I can go out tomorrow and work in the garden! The soil seems to be quite nice, better than the heavy clay I had before and I have so many plants waiting in pots. I’m aiming for a crowded garden with lots of reading nooks and bird spotting seats...

    Thank you to all that helped me with this.

    The viburnum has been moved and it’s done well with lovely perfumed flowers this winter.


    I’ve moved the Amelanchier as well and it’s been fine, but only two clusters of flowers this spring. Is it normal or can I do something (apart from feeding) to encourage it to bloom?


    The eucalyptus has been moved to a pot. It’s a large pot, but probably not sustainable in the long run, so I might give it away.

    That Vib. Charles Lamont is lovely isn't it?  Mine's been flowering its socks off and the perfume on a warm day is gorgeous.  

    As for the lack of flowers on the amelanchier ... I think we have to remember that flowers are a plant's reproductive system ... some plants aren't ready to spend their energy on reproduction while they're still very young ... it'll happen  :)

    Thank you, @Dovefromabove. Yes, the viburnum is lovely, I’m very happy I’ve kept it.

    I like the eucalyptus which can easily be kept as short as you like by coppicing. This produces those lovely fresh blue leaves.

    I like it as well, @Lizzie27, I’m just afraid it might not be happy in that pot forever.

    No, you're probably right but you might as well enjoy it in the meantime.
