      Love the hostas and japanese maples too :dbgrtmb: , I have a few hostas but can't really grow the japanese maples as our garden catches the wind too much and they wouldn't like it...

        The hostas look great in pots on the patio. It's such a lovely garden. Well done on all your hard work. :)

              The little tropical bed has grown a fair bit in 3 weeks

              The bed of carnations grew these last year from seed.

              Finally the front garden
              Some of the canna Warscewiczii have flower spikes emerging
