    Thank you, I’ve had all of them before and they haven’t survived here either. I should try to take cuttings, but I’m already overwintering way too many things in the house.

    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 :)

    'Little people' or 'Little person' when referring to babies, toddlers or infants really sets my teeth on edge. What's wrong with 'babies', 'toddlers' or 'infants' for goodness sakes?

    Need help identifying these please :)

    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.
