Andy, are you talking about Geraniums ( perennial cranesbill )or Pelargoniums ( annual geraniums )? :D

thanks everyone!

Hi folks, thanks for the reassurance . As things are, the last thing I needed was the prospect of having to dig that lot out. The garden here is over 200ft long (although only 13ft wide)and I think I`ve already got enough to do ! Cheers...freddy.

Hi, thanks for the info, lets hope they self seed as I could do with a better clump of them rather than a couple of sparse plants! I will ventilate the new plants better too. Looking forward to getting in the garden properly - far too windy today!

I bought the book on square foot gardening just last week and there are certainly some interesting ideas included

Missed it, btw love your website

My you are going to be busy and a spectacular show Kathy well done you.
