              Thank you Perki. The growth on it always amazes me.

              You still have lots of colour there. Not sure where you are going to put all your new purchases. :scratch:

                The garden main season is June onwards , I am trying to restrain myself from buy late flowering plants now , I start moaning come March / April I got no colour by june I am all happy again and forget :).

                The new plants are going in here I made loads of room for plants :heehee: all the pots are plants . I am still thinking on certain ones . I want to go out and do some more arranging but its raining ( again ). I tried going out last night obviously I could barely see a thing almost standing on the black pots.

                            Thank you @Lem :smile:

                            That's a very nice Clematis @glengarry23 Does it flower right through the winter ? I've been meaning to get one for a long time. It would be nice if it did and to have something flowering when most plants are dormant.

                                We're now working a bit towards later colour as up to now we have had our main colour from the beginning of the year through to June. That is because for over 20 years we've had our garden open to the public in May with some people coming earlier, by appointment, to see our early colour. We shan't be opening our garden again (apart from by arrangement) as we have had to cancel the last two years because of Covid and are now finding it a bit too hard to organise the big event and from :old: :)
