            Baskets are nowhere near as advanced as last year but they're coming along.

                    Thanks @Logan

                    But definitely not as advanced as last year.

                    This is what they looked like at the end of May last year

                            They do carry a lovely look in summer but don't last that long in flowering :sad:
                            Tetters I cut them back twice a year as they grow and spread like mad but when I was doing the decking by those plants I got bit by my eye and my hubby was reading about them last night...they hold a lot of Gall Mites (Eriophyid Mites) and when they bite they cause some swelling and don't I know about it [​IMG]...distance will be kept in the future :whistle:
