....if you were all in the same room, you guys humour could be life threatening ...!!!!
Right 'tis the start of a new week and most of the garden plants are still suffering an identity crisis...but I am getting there...
...the first 3 borders are now just about all photoed, identified, plant details found and now have their own wee file on the computer...
The plan is to have a reference point for each border and therefore each plant within this existing garden...
...now that is all well and good if this darshed fool (me...!!!) had thought to take the bl**dy pictures when the garden/plants were in flower...therefore making them easier to identify but no that would have been too easy and would have required more forethought...(something I am not well known for)... who am I trying to kid, I would never have known what most of them were when in full bloom anyway...!!!
soooooooo...
here are the next three piccies...
Identity crisis Number 4
Now my neighbour swears this is an Aster but I thought it was a Campanula...it had largeish blue harebell like flowers that seemed to wither and go papery really quickly...I kept deadheading and that seemed to keep it flowering...
...if you look on the left very close to this plant is someat else which for the life of I cannot remember the colour of the flowers...looks like I cut it back and the leaves are starting to come again...You get extra points if you can identify that one...!!!
Identity Crisis Number 6
This one is still flowering now (you can see the flowers if you zoom in on the piccie)...the leaves are sort of feathery(ish)
Piccies Number 5 seems to not have appeared, so I will try again...
Identity Crisis Number 5
God alone knows what this one is ...but it did a good impression of trying to die last winter...it turned black...!!!...I was going to dig it up but in my bone-idleness decided to leave to see what if anything would 'appen...well low and below it recovered and and a shed load of white flowers on it...
At the moment it doesn't look too bad so much so that it has shot out 2 long shoots up the front of the house...do I cut them orf...???..(before or after it turns black...!!!)

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
And do you have a toffee apple tree as well?
It's Malus stickifingerus Verd.
You can trust me ...I'm a doctor...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Malus suavitas, probably.. Good luck in finding one, Verd!
It would look great between your marzipan bush and the liqueur fountain!

Now I'm confused Carmic, which one has the harebell like flowers?
The one with the feathery leaves is an achillea, I don't know which one.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Number 4 has the harebell like flowers Nutculet...
Is that really Achillea...I thought it was a rather well looked after weed...!!!
This gardening lark is fun isn't it...!!!
