On Sedums - i have a few pinky ones (autumn joy and an unnamed donation from my Dad, which originally came from my Grandad's Liverpool garden .... I think i will call it heirloom) .... But I would like to add a really dark red one - any recommendations anyone??
great cake .... know what you mean about wistful though .....
Thanks Verd., but I can't do the Chelsea chop next year as it is Gardens Open day in June and I am not sure if visitors will pay to see a lot of pruned stumps However if you can remind me again in 2016 I will give it a go.
Have a great meetup KEF &OL (?and someone else i've missed) . This world is getting less virtual everyday - which considering we are flung to the four corners of this island, is no mean feat
My sedums wouldn't be big enough for Chelsea Chop time
I want some of the dark ones chicky - I think I looked at Purple Emperor as being a good one. Ruby Mantle is dark but I think that's one of the low growing kind. I've got A. Joy but it's too pale for me now - I brought it with me from old house because the bees love them but it's just filling gaps just now. I used to have the white one 'Iceberg' (I think) - which was also lovely. You don't see it very often but I think the nursery here has it. Think they have a discount in September...
Such easy plants too.
PS - we don't get any Bank Hols anyway lily - we work them unless we take them as a hol.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Chicky enjoy your potter. It's my favourite gardening pastime. No plan just wander around doing what's in front of you and takes your fancy. That and planting up a newly dug bed. Smilies galore.

Lovely cake Fairy
Lily I will say hello to OL, Fairy won't get a bank hol as she's in Scotland and they have some different ones to us, me thinks
Better go have some breakfast and get GH opened up.

Don't tell me about mean feet, mine are killing me!
Woody - that's worthy of Verd

Scrumptious looking cake Fairy
You sound as though you will be working off all the calories in the garden today
.
Good one Woody
Chicky - I seem to remember MrsG mentioning meeting OL and KEF if she could. Hope they have a good time
Lily - I know it was a typo but chocolae cake sounds really posh
I am going to waft about in the garden doing a little deadheading and picking runner beans.
