            Mmmm...sounds as though a raised bed might be a solution for the Olly, but excessive water is a definite death sentence for vines.

                Thanks Lem, it is just opening. Had about a dozen blooms so far this year. @pete gets a lot there in Kent.

                  @Lem mine bloomed earlier this year, it's one of the highlights in my garden. I like it even faded like this, taken a few days ago

                    I wonder if they are any use to flower arrangers.

                          After a week of fairly hard frosts we are getting colour in some of our Acers :blue thumb:

                          This one is by our front path and is going to need a good pruning
