    Sun is shining  and my "neighbours from hell" have moved out - Hurray peace at last
  • @BenCotto pictures of your garden ( and especially your pots ) never fail to delight me . It might take decades ( which I may or may not have!) , but it gives me something to aspire to.
    Kindness is always the right choice.

    That’s a very generous thing to say, Desi. Thank you. Call in if you’re ever in Rutland.

    They were bought, not grown, Nanny so I can take minimal credit. I did however grow about 40 Erigeron karvinskianus Profusion from seed, mostly now given away, so given their propensity for self seeding the village will shortly be swamped by them.

    Sea Breeze should be perennial.  It's been growing down the road for years all along the wall. I bought one while I was in Cornwall for the front garden so I'm hoping it will do all right as its in dryish poor soil.  I never fertilize the front garden

    Don't think the one in Ben's pot is Sea Breeze.  Sea Breeze has bigger flowers.

    Quite right, Yviestevie. Mine is Lavender Lady; it’s quite widely available but I got mine from Leesa’s Alpines.
