Yes, it looks fine - and it will grow.

Here's mine planted under a rose called 'for your eyes only'. Photo from last June.

I think a weak feed might help, don't over do it until new leaves appear.

I see, thanks. Why are there so many unnamed ones?

It's about 1m x 2mMostly flowers I would think, the kind we usually put in pots, so erysimum, daisies, stuff like that, but probably some herbs too.Anything we grow from time to time like tomatoes can stay in pots where they're easy to manage...

Yes, every time I book a week off work, it rains constantly

Dryopteris should do ok, as the name suggests, they can cope with dry conditions. Anemones seem to grow anywhereSent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

OK. Aerate the plants, keep the mulch under the base clear of weeds so it dries out and getting rid of anything weak-looking is what I'm trying. I decided to keep the bark-mulch as it seems to be drying out faster than soil.Good job I took this photo - just spotted a diseased orange bit...

Strange coincidence this.I was at a nursery yesterday and they had loads of fuschias, me, I grow a few but nothing exceptional, but one plant took my eye as being different, it was F. corymbiflora, just had totally different leaves to most others. On googling it, I find it produces edible...

I want to learn more about growing plants! That's all really, I am a novice and am probably going to get stuff wrong but that's half the fun!

Never used them but would like to know if anyone has info on them .

About 20 years ago I was given an ivy my mum had in a hanging basket purchased from Marks & Spenser's. Did not want it indoors so planted it out on the garage wall expecting it to wither & die,it did not. Had no problem with the climber all these years and never fuss with it. I noticed today...

Ive grown and also have some in pots of Lathyrus salivus azureus but it only gets to about 2ft,i think its a grass pea,ive never pinched them out so no idea if it would make a differance,your pea looks similar...

Well, I've taken quite a few steps to improve the soil - how often should I water these puppies?They are 4-5ft pot grown laurel.

Here's my tip. When you're 99% certain that a plant is edible, do many Google searches with the description and "poisonous" in there. There are many poisonous plants that almost perfectly fit the description of perfectly edible plants. As a couple of examples, try searching for flat leaf parsley...

Thank you.

I used to use this Company quite a lot.....

@Tracy_x thank you for leaving in your garden the buzzy bees love it ...been all over mine today ...very important early nectar source to lots of our pollinators

You don't have room for a Gunnera ... they get rather big you know

There's so many possibilities. When googling, bear in mind that what we in the UK call a back yard, is mostly referred to as a courtyard everywhere else, so a Google image search for 'small courtyard garden' turns up gazillions of ideas.
