What's Looking Good February 2026
In general I would agree about the small Iris, but one consequence of these dull damp days has meant that mine have lasted much longer than usual. I would still rather have a bit more sun though.

Advice or ideas on narrow garden landscaping, partitioning and dealing with a raised patio

What are we doing in the garden 2026
