"Jon Evans' photo diary  has  pictures  from the  garden of  Jon and  Helen  this week..."  - I'm glad you liked it Maggi, I tend to feel there is not much of interest for people in my own garden.

Mercy! What nonsense! You are  far  too modest - your  garden is  lovely!

 Weather is getting better.  Still when I compare with last year plants are emerging a little late.

I was just  wondering  today how  many  pairs of shoes  you'll have  to spring for  after  lockdown - an awful lot  of  Wednesday outings going  by the  board!   ;) ;D

There is a very good agapanthus called Maureen you know - just a suggestion...

Very nice Kris!
They don’t like our humid climate here and under glass I find that they get easily infested with Greenfly.

Hi, Steve

It is reassuring for me that I am not the only one who has this problem.  Greenfly are very fond of Townsendia...

Maybe in the future I will try some species in the field (with permanent cover)...what do you think?


Conclusion...shared suffering is half suffering...😉

No party possible as the family and friends are spread all over England. It'll cost me a fortune to re-build the shoe collection when (if!) things get back to normal.

Gail, thanks  for 'Maureen' , I bought it for her birthday a couple of years ago.

The first time I managed to get Phaselia sericea to bloom.  I think it's my personal highlight this spring...  at least for the North Americans.
