Another thing doing well are ferns - mine are absolutely enormous. Roses are lush, too, although their flowers are getting battered - all the more reason to bring them in
My crocosmia Have gone mad, they do like well drained soil with plenty of water in summer, this year has certainly provided that because it has been warm even in driving rain. Going round the garden pulling weeds that were hiding among the plants I found they came out easily from damp soil. There are ten bags of green waste to go next week and I could add more. the ivy got chopped some bushes reshaped and the general clean up plus lawn cuttings. Discovered a bramble from next door that must have been 20 feet long with off shoots, as I pulled the bushes down the border were waving about which gave a good idea of what I would end up with, gloves needed and still got scratched. Now the Jet stream has found its way home the Tomato's and veg should look up and about time. It was nice sitting awhile in the sun this morning, the longer you sit the more jobs you see, thats gardening for you.
