Fidget, they're in dappled shade on the north-eastern side of trellis fence which is covered with a grape vine - it doesn't get much more dappled than that here - they are in a decent sized clay pot in a mix of JI3 and home-made compost with a bit of added grit. They were going to go near to my purple roscoea but an aquilegia suddenly had territorial ambitions and turned into a giant, forcing a temporary rethink.
I'm going to have to shuffle some things about a bit on the Shady Bank this autumn to make a permanent home for it.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
4thPanda I am going to Woody's so we should be able to meet - thinking of wearing a name tag so you can recognise me
Chicky I get to see you too
Woody is getting there with his garden I emailed him for details again as forgot - open gardens 10 - 5 village shop for tickets or from the gardens 14 open in total £6.00 for entry to all
Thinking of going to Woody's garden at 1ish - don't know what time you are thinking of going? want to meet you 2 too
You will get to see my small bug house in his garden
Must get my money out - last time remember one house selling plants and other bits and bobs
Thanks all for the welcome and hope you don't mind us being on this forum.I am Irish and my wife is Russian but I have lived in Russia since Soviet days so very interesting times but our ultimate love ,apart from each other ,is our garden....novices I hasten to add
We have had a tough day working so now to feed the workers, mother in law and aunt , some shashlik ...
Preparing the fire ...we use wood , a little oak and mostly birch , we know the wood comes from sustainable forests as we pick it up ourselves . The wood gives a very tasty flavor to the meat.
Been steaming here today, hottest day of the year for certain. Got some planting done and now waiting for the heat to break with a storm . Wish me luck, I may melt
Never won anything ever!.....just had a call saying I'm one of the lucky 25 people to have won a free planter and plants with my local in-bloom competition!
And an end date phone call for my present job and an interview phone call for a new one.....mixed bag kind of day! free plants tho!!!!!!!!!

Sorry , I was saying thank you in Cyrillic guess the site does not like that
Dove, are they in too much sunshine? Dappled shade is what they like best. Also damp but not soggy at the roots.(moisture retaining and free draining)
