    I have a bit of a challenge! Forget me nots, Euphorbia and Muscari everywhere!

    Also over-run with Japanese Anenomes and Perriwinkle!
    Plus that nasty weed that sticks to your clothes!

              Plenty of Ivy, Perriwinkle and Forget Me Nots to go around!!!!
              It certainly has potential.

              It's amazing what you can get on Freecycle these days Ziggy!!

              I'm moving house this weekend.

                Looks like it was a much loved place, plenty you can keep there, better than builders rubble and grass

                      It does look pretty though Longk, got to admit I love the primroses and forget me nots too :redface:.
                      Looks a lovely place you've moved to.
                      We've been busy helping our youngest move into her first house this weekend too, fancy that, the previous owner obviously didn't like gardening, looks like I'll be helping, there's a pot of strawberries that must have been there yonks sent runners off out the pot all over the garden, I'll be round there with the cream later in the summer:biggrin:

                        Thanks Joolz and Sal!

                        Sal is correct Jools - Kerria japonica. I've found out that it can sucker and grow like crazy, so it's days may be numbered!

                          My photos flatter it Simbad!!
                          Got to get on top of it, as in autumn there will be a few hundred spring bulbs going in.
                          Strawberry runners would be cool compared to this!

                          Being a bit of a "joyless sod" I'm not usually a lover of Hellebores. But as you walk out of the back door towards the steps up to the garden I was greeted with these at eye level..................

                          Quite like 'em now!
