    I looked at my astrantia earlier @Lyn . I agree -the pic is a geranium.  ;)
    It would depend on whether it was appealing to the OP when it flowers, as to whether it stayed or went.
    I hate that Rozanne one almost as much as that pink one. I know I'm in the minority with that though.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I'm giving Rozanne another chance.
    I had a couple in not a very good position and they didn't perform, so I've moved them to a sunnier border to see what they do this year.
    There was an episode of GW with Joe Swift in his garden last year and it was rambling amongst all the other plants and I thought it looked really good

    Hi everybody,

    Firstly - thank you very much for the quick replies in helping - WOW. I cannot thank you enough.

    I've tried to number them but I can't seem to locate the flower icon; I can see one in the top right, but I can't seem to edit the post from here. I'll keep looking though. Any posts or updates I'll post them as recommended as you nice people on here.

    I'm going to remove the weeds and nettles. Regarding the possible Oak Saplings - I will remove them, but I would like to put them somewhere else in the garden to grow. Would this be possible? I wouldn't like to 'kill' them.

    What provisions could I make to make sure the weeds and nettles don't return? I'm going to research on this forum and a few books I've bought but if you are able to offer some guidance / direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

    I'll keep posting updates on here and hopefully we'll see it change into something nicer.

    Thanks all,

    Lee.

    Remember that from tiny acorns mighty oaks grow, so unless you have a massive garden you might want to have a think about that. Even if you leave them in the ground for a few years, a time will come when you will have to take them out eventually and that could prove difficult.
    What you could do is pot them up, keep them for a few years and donate them to a local woodland or something like that perhaps  :)
