When I'm not on my bike, you'll find me in my organic-ish garden in #Cumbria. Favourite plants? Wisteria, hellebores, peonies, philadelphus...

At this time of year I think the #cornus-controversa-variegata makes a natural #focalpoint in the garden 💚

Thanks Jane, though goodness knows how it is lush as we have had virtually no rain for 2 months (though it did rain daily for the 6 months before that!) @pelly

Not much to see here but in the few minutes gap between sleet and rain I did manage to get out and remove the two lowest branches of this #cornus-controversa-variegata I should have done it weeks ago but... 💦💨💦💨💦

Morning Jane! Yes, very. Just spotted it the other day. I’m thinking I might take one or two of the very low, small tiers off this winter to create a bit of space underneath 🤔 @pelly

Sounds like a good idea, not that I have a clue, but it will open it up a bit 🤔🤔

You’re welcome. As for how old it is...good question 🤔🤔🤔 More than 5 years but less than 10? This is why I now use GardenTags and have a garden journal as I can never remember things like this 😂 It is definitely a worthy addition to your wishlist Laura 😍 @columbiariver
