@Marlorena My bare roots took more than the 5-7 days they promised. It was Julia Child. Just planted it out today. No more bareroots for this year (I keep saying this to myself).
..time is on your side @cooldoc2000 .. as in, there's not much time left fortunately.. but there's always potted .. Julia Child is one fabulous rose, absolutely... [sorry...]
..lucky you @Nollie well ahead as usual... we look forward to those in a couple weeks..
@Marlorena - Im going to plant it at my school. Since it's thornless.
I'm glad I didn't buy any more roses! Wife wants me to make a paved seating area at the end of the garden. Which will be nice. We don't really have a good space for sitting out. But it's going to really eat into planting space and I'm going to have to move quite a few plants including Emily Bronte and LEH. Not sure where they're going to go! Might have to be in pots.
Some photos from the front of house:
Nothing on Lady of the Lake yet but only early days!
Potted nepeta Junior Walker starting to grow
2nd year Desdemona
Potted Geranium Rozanne. So far since buying her, she's been potted, started flopping in spring, so repotted in better draining mix, then planted out in the garden, then dug up and potted again!
Won't know whether she's coming or going! Looks promising at the moment anyway.
Two DA firsts apparently. 'Constance Spry' their first pink, in the soil, and 'Chianti' their first red/purple in the tub...hopefully looking a lot more inviting in the next couple of months or so.
Does anybody grow The Fairy? I bought it thinking it was a tiny ground cover rose but mine's now getting to 2-3ft h x w, which is not quite what I was expecting.

You know the answer A seating area, planting and a path... no place for the lawn.

Haha - That’s AN answer...MY answer...not hers though!
Hopefully one day we’ll move to somewhere with a larger garden. In fact my lottery win dream would be to buy a load of land, build a modest house with a big walled garden and then just turn the rest to forest, meadows and ponds. Ahhh I can dream 😌

Or maybe Darcy Bussell:
