Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2026
It was a lovely mild, sunny afternoon. I have weeded the Jewel Bed. Tulips and Camassias are coming up and some of the perennials are showing fresh new growth. It just needs mulching.

The money is already there for a better service - they are instead blowing it all on "net zero" and electrifying the fleet.

How to take a Cutting of a Japanese Anemone
If the pot is large enough, leave it in there until you hand it over. Your friend can then check the rootball and top growth after a few weeks and decide when best to plant in the soil.

How do you feel if this happens?
I blame TV gardening shows, they have no relation to real gardening and growing. Instant effect, not keen on garden designers personally.

Dying Privet Hedge
The variegated Pittosporum Elizabeth could work well - one of my neighbours has a very attractive hedge of this. I liked @Plantminded's suggestion of a flowering climber for the arch itself, too.
