    Thanks Busy-Lizzie, Ive still got to find a permanent home for those potted oak tree saplings. Maybe when they are too big/heavy to move I will get around to trying to move them!!

    Leadfardmer how have yiu got hydrangea flowering ? Mine just starting to grow

    took a couple last night imageimage

    May gold only has one flush and is dreadfully prone to black fly but her perfume at night makes it all worthwhile   Can't remember the name of the geranium, maybe som eone else can, it's scarlet. And with the lime foliage a stunner

    See original post

     It never flowers very well to be honest Lily Pily, maybe because its in a planter. Its east facing and only gets sun in the mornings?

    Im still having fun changing how I mow the lawn, today I've left a circle of longer grass, a ring of shorter grass around it, and then mowed everywhere else even shorter, with a mowed path running through it. Should look better in a few days as it was still wet when I cut it....
