Dear gardeners, I wondered if you could help me. I want to replant the plants on the pics to some other places in my garden (I’ve realised I don’t like them where they currently are), is there a time of the year when this can be done, is now a good time? Thank you! (Ps why are my pics always sideways??)

    There's a problem with the photo uploading @ariadna.bakhmatova so don't worry  :)
    You can move those now - just follow the usual method - water well, lift with a good rootball, and replant at the same level. Water well, especially if you have long dry spells. Once there's enough autumn/winter rain, they'll be fine.
    Both of those are quite straightforward plants to move  :)

     any time. Just make sure the ground is moist before and after moving them

    just one more thing - when i move these plants, what should i put in the soil? multipurpose compost, or farmyard manure..?

    If the soil isn't great, you can add some compost, but both those plants don't really need anything special.  :)
    Manure is great for breaking up clay or heavy soil, so if you feel that your soil is heavy and maybe doesn't drain too well, you can mix some of that in.
