  Really pleased with how the leafy bed turned out this year, they were all potted around 4 years ago, so will be looking to divide this autumn to give them some space. Need to do a slug reccie tomorrow night as some munching is becoming evident😔.

  I had to make room for a new large palm and had to remove a big hosta, I divided it up and thanks to the good recent rain they are doing really well

  Now here’s one I’ve not seen before ... bet @hostafan will be putting in an order for a couple of packs of seeds ... the description is so enticing ... just the thing for his woodland area

  Hope they don’t sell out before I’ve saved up ... 😉 
  
  or shall I get this one?

  Do you think putting them both in one bed would be ok ... or would it be a bit too much of a good thing?
