      Well put it like this it's according to how much ground you have left [​IMG]...then the plants need breathing space to grow ;) :whistle:

        Got very little ground space left.
        Lots of plants in pots and propagating/buying more.
        It's an addiction.......but a good one.

          Agree Pushkin, an addiction. One that has truly grabbed me. I have so many plants regularly potted on yet I buy more!!! :noidea:

                  Always wanted a Wisteria, was worried about the roots / size of the root ball so
                  choose the less vigorous Japanese variety called Wisteria Floribunda Burford

                    :rain: and :rain: and :rain: all day so no gardening. Watched several episodes of Garden Rescue instead. I still have a pot to be filled under the Willow, so need to buy a shady plant to go in it. :rain: stopped briefly for 20 mins or so at 7pm, so nipped outside and planted one of my new Cranesbill and the Potentilla I uprooted to plant the other Cranesbill in it's place. Been thinking about gardening as well and considering several ideas/possibilities.

                              With one of the three new beds done and the second starting to take shape, time to focus on the third one. In my search for something a little out of the ordinary, which would also add some height, I stumbled upon Willow Wands. To say these things intrigued me would be an understatement and this afternoon ours turned up. No expense spared on the packing either, the packing cushions were right up to the top of the box.

                              My intrigue definitely didn't diminish when I got them out of the box.

                              Now to measure up the bed and put them in place.
