Good morning (just). I'm on a renewed garden sort out. I've very much let it get away from me over the last 5 months, then felt overwhelmed and hid. I'm definitely back feeling the bug but going to break it all down into small achievements. Today it's sort out the pots at the front of the house and maybe put some bulbs in some. #mondaymotivation

Go for it Debs - I have loads of these that I never get round to pulling out and they just get bigger and bigger 🙈

Yes they definitely spread. I do quite like the leaf structure though particularly in winter @sharonhayden

There are many on here, me included, who have felt the same over the past weeks or months, Deborah, so you’re not alone! Getting stuck in again will be great, so good luck 👍😘

I was only just saying this the other day, definitely wasn’t feeling it last year but hope I can get back into the garden this year. Already making a start, and doing exactly as you’ve said by breaking it down into small chunks - I’m sure you will succeed 🙂👍🏼

I really want to sort it out @jacaranda @richard.spicer.7906 and @juliesgarden I'm hoping the motivation continues. I'm going to have to wear blinkers so I only look at one area at a time otherwise I just run away and hide. I did feel much better yesterday after sorting out my pots though.

Not that I've noticed @vegandmore the flowers are not the best but the leaves and seed pods give all year round interest

Good morning, I'm happy as it's raining here and it's much needed. Strangely this has been added to my favourite plants list. The leaves are tall and blow about giving interest, its evergreen and a shade lover. Ok the flowers aren't pretty but I'll let it off just for the leaves.

Hmm...I’m just wondering if I have some of this in my garden? It’s in the shade. It’s leaves are very lush and look great. No flowers yet but I too love the leaves and it’s lush appearance. Appears to be evergreen 🤔 I’ll post a photo later...
