    Black leaves Acuba Japonica Gold Dust

    Yes they were hardened off before planting in the ground. The others are all okay. I wasn’t sure if I’d overwatered them. Hopefully they’ll still be okay then. Thank you @flounder for replying :)

    I wondered if 1 and 3 might be astilbe. 4 looks a bit like creeping euonymus except the flowers make me think of spurge. 5 looks like the willow I have growing in the garden.

    Cuckoo 2024

    Out in the garden this morning and what did we hear for the first time in years...male cuckoo calling. Both of us heard it and then it was silent. At least we know cuckoos are still around somewhere.
