    I trimmed some dead wood out of a caryopteris and some fuchsias, and moved a potted conifer from its coping-with-winter-wind spot to its better-weather position! :) Lovely to have a 3rd sunny day in a row. I only had time for an hr out there, but every little helps when so much needs doing.

    When I grew flowers for my daughter's wedding I used 2m x 1m. I had clay soil and I mixed bought compost into it. It was in my vegetable garden and I had Love in a Mist for years afterwards!

    Good guess Pete sort of similar but Day lilies don’t have white roots or offsets like these do. Hopefully the mystery will be solved in a month or so

    Visiting Gardens

    The annual pass thing is spot on. I started doing that with a local garden and it completely changed how I think about winter planting. You notice stuff you'd never catch on a single visit.
