    Thank you all. Chicky, first yellow clump is a helenium, then heliopsis, then Rudbeckia Goldquelle.

    I got it in a French GC some years ago and all it said on the label was Helenium jaune(yellow). Last year it was quite big so I split it in three and that is one of them.

    Sorry this is a late response to Georgie Edwards' post on 18/8/2013

    I just had to show Georgie Edwards my Bramley:

    Am I right in saying it seems to be growing like the twin of Georgie's apple tree? 

    PS beautiful garden Georgie - you can come and do mine anytime! image

    FG how do you tame the butterflies for their photo session?

    Found this little critter (leaf fly?) enjoying my rhododendron, not sure if I should have moved it.

    Great produce Deano - your display shows the real benefit of home grown when done by an expert!

    I'm only in my first year of gardening alone and have achieved nothing like your oitput but your harvest encourages us all and gives us a great standard to emulate.

    Ditto archiepem: just seen your spuds and beans

    Lovely spuds archie and great produce as always Deano!image

    So neat isn't he?

    Pix of my garden today with the shed out the way and a good bit of clearing done.

    The ivies are for the outside of the new fence (next to shed) and the gate in left corner will be moved to give a longer run of fence for climbers and a few bits and pieces with a path alongside it as well. Most of the gravelled area and the bare soil will be a new lawn and the strip of grass will be path. I've started making the borders along the new fence too. They'll be shadier as they face east mostly. The Mahonia is at the centre axis of the new garden- there's a bit of temporary fence on the right which will go when the extension's underway.
