What's looking good in May

Hi Nigel

Is Dicentra exima "Alba" as easy to grow as Dicentra formosa which does really well with me

 

Great pics Charlie. I love the red rhodo/azalea.

 

Camelia+trainer.

Woodlandy path at the back.

Got a LOT of bluebells to dig up. Replacing with 2 roses and a fair few more aquilegias.

Raised bed is filling out nicely. Only been planted up a week or so.

Raspberry canes waking up. Perennials in there...its a long story of resurrection.

And ladies and gentlemen, my messy greenhouse.

 

I know I've already put this onto the fuchsia thread but I'd like people to see it who might not necessarily go there.

Fuchsia Procumbens

 

@CharlieBot ... it's all looking very colourful and exciting. Love how the trainers complement the camellia

 

Not a messy GH @CharlieBot - just busy...

I trust these were all safely gathered in before todays gales?

 

Haha I wish I could use that excuse, just waiting to plant out the dahlias and it should be a whole lot emptier. Also got a lot of wedding flower seedlings on the go in there.

 

Shiney that's not messy, it's......beautiful

I really miss my greenhouse :(

 

@shiney, I'll swap your greenhouse for mine......it's much more interesting!

 

Yours is OCD compared to ours @Sheal ...and I like it!

 

Yes, you're right I suppose, I like everything in it's place. There's only one plant in there that's sitting off centre in it's pot, can you spot it......it does my head in!

Okay then Shiney, I'll swap the contents and you can keep your greenhouse. I wouldn't want to take it off your hands now, it's been part of your home for to long.

 

Have you thought of contacting English Heritage or the National Trust. You could have it put on the at risk register as a Listed Building
