    Are they your hostas?

    A while ago there'd been worried posts from several folk worried if their agapanthus had died. Looking at my plant at the time and seeing all the mushed leaves, I shrugged my shoulders and thought, 'Ah well, I'm not that bothered if mine's snuffed it'!
    But I decided to move it to a more sheltered spot by a warm wall anyway , cleared its sad leaves and mulched the pot.
    I'm now thrilled to see some new growth  leaves beginning to grow on the bits of plant (they're not corms are they and I'm not sure what they are called?). It looks as though it will survive.  :)

    indeed so @janetfoss.
    I gambled and left my evergreen agapanthus out this winter.

    RTBC - I was clearing up in the garden today and did so by partially squatting, rather than by sticking my left leg out to the side or behind me.  Less than 6 weeks on from hip replacement and the increased mobility is already genuinely life changing.  Still a long way to go,and the physio is careful not to let me have new exercises too quickly to prevent me over doing things.

    Good news @KT53.

    Saw the first bluebells this morning - Spanish ones most probably but a very cheerful sight. My English ones in the garden are not in bloom yet.

    That sounds great @KT53.  This has been my first week without physio for th enew knee since late July and I managed a very busy dance class last night - tango and Viennese waltz - with no bovver except the usual sea sickness after too many twirls in VW.  i can even kneel on it now.  So liberating.

    We're still on cowslips here @Lizzie27 but not long to wait for proper bluebells.
