Plans beginning for 2025, first thing will be to sow Onion seeds this month in the heated prop, they will be in the conservatory to begin with, then into a blowaway inside the greenhouse.

When I looked in Homebase the prices were only 10% to 20% off. Still cheaper to buy elsewhere which probably explains why they aren't doing well.

I think the bright green shrub is a Euonymus, probably Jean Hugues or Green Spire, the sage green one is a Pittosporum, probably Golf Ball and the dark shrub is also a Pittosporum, looks like Bannoway Bay or Tom Thumb. They are all tough and easy to grow. A nice combination!

Hi @Busy-Lizzie thank you for that and you got it. My rose looks exactly like it. Once agin thank you.

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Sanna.
