    I love Iris foetidissima (Stinking Iris) Jenny. Self seeds readily and can produce subtly different babies. Here's my first of the year...................

        That's very kind of you, merleworld, but we have another six or seven lilacs around the garden so we shall think of something else to replace it. :dbgrtmb:

                  I have a problem corner where nothing I plant grows & so Ive just tagged it as the "wildlife area" where I leave all the woody rubbish & old logs for the insects. I might be on the right track, as Ive noticed Ive got "Lords & Ladies" appearing from nowhere, & the ground elder is struggling !

                    That's what gardenings all about, Nick!!! Having a "wild life" corner is always a good idea and I have one down by the pond.:snork:

                      I've not had a chance to spend time in the garden the last few days but I managed a photo through the kitchen window.

                      After a wet and cloudy afternoon the sun just came out as it was starting to set. Taken at 8.50 p.m. Ten minutes later the clouds came back.

                      The hose is out because we still need it for watering as we haven't had much rain.

                          Hahaha ... brilliant deflection of "What's looking good in June" :) Let's see some spuds :) :)

                          I've got some of those. They look just like that. I wondered whether they were worth the effort of growing them ...
