Thank you @Plantminded and thanks again for the advice regarding the calamagrostis :)
Thank you @ViewAhead :smile:There is more to do of course and plants need time to grow, but it is nice every time you get to complete one little...
Today, besides a bit of general cleanup, I planted 2 ferns and 2 calamagrostis Karl Foerster (you can see them at the front and the far back of...
Before work, I repotted that young rose that had been left at my doorstep.I was also hoping to do some planting during my lunch break, but the...
I was happy when I purchased off Crocus, but if they don't have sales, they are indeed pricey. I also love their website. I like to use it to get...
I got my 2 heucherellas today, as well as the 6 tiny lithodoras / lithospermum. In the back are the two ferns I bought yesterday :smile:[ATTACH]

Despite the back & forth with that recent order, I couldn't resist and made another online order (from a different nursery) for:2 heucherella...
They are! :rolleyespink:The size difference would only account for very little money, probably around £5. It's not about that, but I find the...
I am amused but also (mostly) annoyed. I got one of my plant deliveries today. Part of it was 2 x hostas Love Pat, 1L pot... I guess TECHNICALLY...
