    Blueberry plant issues

    they are specialist plant pots so it should have drainage and when i fed them i didnt really look as if the soil in the pot was too wet. I also get the feeling that it may be hard to find a larger pot

    Straggly trailing verbena

    Right then. When this cold shower has passed, I’m going out there with my pruning shears and some feed.

    Anybody seen my Hostas?

    I hadn't realised that Siberian Tiger was a new variety. That explains why it's comparatively expensive on some sites. Most of the hostas I've bought this year have been well under a tenner.
