    It's all growing lovely, The wifey and i visited a garden centre yesterday, and purchased a few new ones...

    The Dahlias are in bud (various that i had grown from bulbs) and the Honeysuckle is climbing well onto the decking balustrade. 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg 5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg 8.jpg 9.jpg 10.jpg 11.jpg

            Lovely garden! Love the Dahlias, although I've never grown them from bulbs myself. Bought a tray of them at Homebase this year, can't remember the price or how many, but remember it being a good deal and all of them have flourished in pots. Various colours of pinks and all looking lovely and healthy. The snails don't appear to like them, so win-win :yes:

                        Simon, your garden looks brilliant. I could spend all day pottering around your pots.
