Thank you @Busy-Lizzie, that’s very helpful. Coincidentally I have recently ordered a Persica rose, Eye of the Tiger, so that’s good to know! I’ll...
Your yellow border sounds good @noisette47. I can relate to your slope incident, often happens here on wet banks covered in Sorbus berry mush...
Thank you @Snorky85, that's the observation and planning area :biggrin:.
I admire your tenacity @Busy-Lizzie, looking after two gardens! They both always look very well maintained and colourful! I wish I had good soil...
It's wet and gloomy here, again! The garden can relax, I won't be digging, pruning or casting aside any poor performers until I can avoid making...
That's a perfect winter scene @ArmyAirForce, you won't need to do anything in that setting! I'll bet you're glad of the rest too!
That's a disappointment @Perki, you must be in quite an exposed location there. I'm finding that some of mine is looking a bit ragged this year,...
I hadn't thought about the quality of the air in winter @ClematisDbee, but you're right, it's refreshing. Your note has encouraged me to think...
I hope you're OK @fairygirl and that you taught him a few new colourful words :). He probably parks in that disabled bay regularly and can be...
An annoyance yesterday and today - talegaters. Do they deliberately set out to annoy other drivers? Both the offenders (polite version) following...

Very nice edges there @shiney :).
That’s really helpful @JennyJB, thank you. I’ll do the same this year with Amistad and see how it fares.
Do your salvias overwinter in the border @JennyJB? (I got Amistad and Phyllis confused too!)
I like that description of the Clive Nichols photos @AnniD! Also, you’re right, all those Cornus varieties with coloured stems are stunning in...
Hakonechloa is quite an adaptable plant @DevonDays. It will be easier to establish in a cool, wet climate with moisture retentive soil but here it...
It has a hardiness rating of 3 which is down to minus 5 @Cardiff Garden so you'll need to provide some winter protection if your temperatures drop...
Thank you @JennyJB, I should have recognised Amistad as I grow it but mine aren't as impressive as yours!
I think it's fine in that location @Cardiff Garden. The red ones are not as vigorous as the green ones and it should not outgrow that space. It...
Thank you @CanadianLori. Looks like you've got some good ski slopes for your bird life there :biggrin:.
