    Pruning to the ground is my problem then. Thanks for the advice.

    You'd be more than welcome to runny, I may even throw in a few courgettes and a bag of peas image

    I was really pleased to see the Geum out, it was a sin bin buy (only labelled 'Geum', no variety given) and I wasn't convinced I'd see any flowers off it this year. The same with the Verbena. 

    My poor Rhubarb, it's had a tough life so far, and it's only been in the garden two years! The first year I thought the squirrel had killed it as he went on a mission to dig up all our plant pots on a mammoth mission for bulbs, I couldn't see any sign of any rhubarb left at all, so I was amazed to see it come back and shoot after that.  Then we had to move it into a flower bed in June. It didn't really like either of those events, and so the rhubarbs been a bit thin. Here's hoping it has a better year next year, although husband has plans for that part of the garden which may well mean me losing that bit of flower bed, so it looks like it is moving again. image

    Campanula Elizabeth Oliver is so pretty, not a bad buy for a pound or so. 

    Snapdragons nearly ready to flower, it seems like I've been waiting an age for them.....they'll still beat the sweet peas though. 

    Hosta flower stalks are all over the garden.  The bees love them, so they can stay until they get too floppy and untidy.

    Dewdrops - I agree with you re the campanula. You have a good range of plants nowimagePoor rhubarb!

  • Thank you Joyce. 

    I know, I feel terrible! I'd pulled what I thought were the last stems off earlier in the week, and noticed this little leaf coming through this morning. I'm hoping it is tough enough to survive another move.
