    Kate - you do know those aren't alliums, don't you? They're agapanthus ..image

    I had some bees on the sphaerocephalon alliums today- nice and rough for them to cling to in the recent wild wind.. image

  • Haha, no I didn't, Fairygirl. Thanks! My mum assumed they were a type of allium and I took her word for it - I'm very new to gardening... Maybe I should go read some gardening books, haha!

    Looks yummy, LilyP!  Are those loganberries?  My daughter is looking for a hybrid berry to grow in her new garden & so I'm interested in what others grow...

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
