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

Sedum Spectabile

A friend wants to see what I have in my garden that is giving it some colour at this time of year. So here goes… #floweringinoctober

I suppose if the daffodils are in flower it’s probably time to cut back the #hylotelephium-spectabile 🙄 (That doesn’t exactly slip off the tongue does it?!)

I cut back my Sedum this week Jacqueline, I’ll never call them by that other name it’s too complicated to say, let alone remember 🤣

Hi Sarah! No, sadly not (though I will be for a few days from tomorrow). I’m currently sat in the car in Morrison’s car park! We have a rubbish mobile signal at home and a week ago some (expletive deleted) crashed into and set fire to the telegraph pole that carries our landline and internet 😡 Will get back on GT when BT-dont-reach-very-far get their act together @sieveheadsarah

Oh no, that's not good Jacqueline, fingers crossed it doesn't take them too long to get it sorted!! Enjoy your few days on two wheels, fingers crossed its not persisting down where you're going!!!
