Beckie's garden!

Very pretty too
Which variety did you get?
I had one in my previous to last home so it could go up and over the pergola on the patio; it was this one ...



Not sure if you are aware, but they are suckering climbers.
I had suckers pop up a good few feet away from where the plant was originally positioned and, at one point, those suckers almost became borderline invasive. Gorgeous flowers though

 

Hi @'M' no I'd not realised that I'd have suckers popping up but I shall be keeping a close eye out for them now you've told me . I'm hoping to keep the Passion flowers under some control , I don't want them to get too big & take over! I guess if I keep them trimmed back to a certain height they will be ok?

 

Absolutely

 

Here's a few photos so you can all see my progress;
Bleeding heart (I split it this year)

Blue delphinium (new this year)


Tree Peony (new last year & this will be my first flower

One of my rhubarb patches (chicken wire to stop the hens scrapping at it!)

 

Harriet & Daisy-Do! They've taken over my salad bed, it's perfect gor dust baths!!! The arch, I've put two hanging baskets on it to give it some colour for now, as the roses & the Passion flowers get established I will probably remove the brackets




Passion flower, growing up the inside of the arch (chicken wire to stop the hens scrapping!)

 

Looks smashing @Beckie76

Glad you were able to split the bleeding heart ok and it seems it is equally glad too: its looking fantastic!!
to GC Harriet & Daisy-Do mighty fine dust bath you have there, ladies; hope you are fertilizing it nicely

We had gardeners question time at our local gardening club this week and a few of the members were saying that their rhubarb has already bolted this year (wet and warm weather for you ) Yours is looking healthy and lush (but you may want to think about introducing it to your KitchenAid sooner rather than later ).

You should get some wonderful yellowy orange fruits from your passion flower. My first hen (an ex batt) really, really loved them; not so my other hens, but, bear it in mind for your girls.

Lovely update and a pleasure to see

 

Aw wow! It's looking fab @Beckie76 well jealous of your delphinium, mine has gone caput and well, my bleeding heart is about 30cm tall with no flowers at all! Love the passion flowers too will look gorgeous when it all grows up!

 

Looks lovely Beckie thanks for the update , love your hens wish i had more space to keep a few.

 

Thanks for your kind words @martin-f @Lynd & @"M".

"M" my rhubarb has flowered three times but the moment I see that sneaky flower head I remove it! So far I'm winning! . Best I get cooking! I love stewed rhubarb it's delicious (crumble, pie & fool are all yummy too )

 

My peony this morning

 

Some's popping up on mine M.

 

Is that two of your VC's? They cling by suckers which they use to cling to walls and fences
The "suckering" I meant in Beckies post was with regard to a passion flower which can throw up new shoots from under the ground and sometimes at a distance away

 

Hi M, no there not VC well I don't think so, I thought there was suckers from PF, I will take a few more pictures later

 

Sorry M your correct it is VC, i must have put it in last year, that's at least 9 then now neighbours best get some pruners bought .
