I think it's confused it's flowering again 🤔

Ooh, that's a hairy one 🙈

😂 cheeky @tash74

That little bug looks like he is hanging by one little finger! 😂

Well spotted @lovestogarden I hadn't even noticed him 😂

Hang in there baby! 😂

Considering I move this a couple of weeks ago I'm pleased it's alive may not be to its normal standard but it's flowering ☺️

Coming on a storm this year can't wait 😊

Hi. Are these easy to grow?

I just stuck some root in some soil last year that I was given then this spring at the first sign of growth I stuck it in and it haven't don anything special @daisy1 so yes very 😊

Excited to say the least my tiny bit off root last year to this I wish I had got two bits now. I have no patience 😊

Ooh nearly there, looks like a big 'un! 😀

@gardengimp huge! 😊

Of course Monty's were like satellite dishes on the telly box last night, lol!

Oh I haven't seen it yet! No spoilers please @gardengimp I have it recorded 😊

Lol sorry! :) I like Montagu, he's a legend

@gardengimp I do too I'm really loving beach grove at the moment too 😊

Never heard of it....?

@gardengimp it's on I player in sure I download it from sky I never actually watch anything when it's on lol it's really good and we are on 11 loads to watch lol 😊

Ooh thanks for that! I've just got my Ipad repaired so that will be good to watch, thankyou! I also liked The Autistic Gardener last year, but no new series as of yet

@gardengimp oh I never saw that one

You might find it on YouTube, they tend to remove stuff after a while. It was a good insight into a much misunderstood condition while being a garden makeover show too

Coming along nicely. I got the plant spacing wrong and mine's currently suffocating the hollyhocks

@gardengimp I did the same I was supposed to have a clematis here. They do spread and my gardens small it's hard to know where to put it. I've ordered 200 alpine Poppy seeds I'm so excited 😊 Poppy's and alpine it's just like perfection 😍

Sounds good! Our gardens are very similar right down to the trampoline, lol! I had papaver miyabeanum last year in with my alpines, similar to papaver alpinum, really intricate, delicate but durable too. Not seen any more this year despite my best seed scattering efforts :/

There's time yet hopefully they will have self seeded a bit too😊 I am covered in pink Poppy's single and doubles not sure the variety from last year I'm having to thin them constantly but I haven't had alpine ones a for a few years I would have nothing but alpines of all varieties in my garden they are awesome but Poppy's make me melt 😊
