Hey all, been reading the forum for a while and thought I'd finally pluck up the courage to post. I've been gardening for around a year and this year I've put a new path and border in the back garden. Making progress ? ? ? top is late January and bottom was taken Saturday
Lots more still to do and loads of seedlings and young plants growing. Very happy with my dahlias for a 1St try
Hey Tom Cranham your dahlias seedlings/plantlets are wonderful and far better than mine. The leaves are yellowing and the plants look pathetic, but yours are just perfect.
What lovely colours Joyce, and so many flowers. What do you feed them on? What is the last little yellow flowered plant - I don't recognize it.
GD the last yellow plant is Erythronium pagoda. I have three small white ones but they are just at flower bud stage. They die back summer until spring. Pieris, azaleas and rhodos get a couple of feeds of fertiliser for ericaceous plants
Tom C - that is a vast improvement in plan and planting space. Congrats.
Joyce - sumptuous.
My tree peony is not only in flower but has a glorious perfume. It looked very dead when we arrived on October 1st and I had no idea what it was so a lovely surprise. I have fed and watered it and given it a pep talk.

Wow Joyce your garden is lovely. I was also going to ask what the erythronium was, I'll have to find a gap for that somewhere!
Great photos everybody

Lovely to have discovered some good plants in the new garden Obelixx. Beautiful peony flowers.
My tree peony is 4 inches hight. Grown from seed by my friend.
Now there's a thought! I planned to dead head it to save energy but I could maybe let it ripen one or two seeds heads............
