            @martin-f I'd wait until the winter to move them. They'll have more chance to settle in.

              As they get bigger maybe lose a few more, I want to shape a few at a later date.

                Enjoying all your pictures. Trying to stay up to date both on here & in the garden amongst the heat :yay: mustn't complain, delightful skies of blue here. I've been working on a new border for the last few months, purple/blue contrasting against yellow - full of Agastache, Salvias, Verbena Bonariensis, Coreposis Sunray, Penstemon Electric Blue, Rudbeckia Goldsturm & Echinops Ritro etc will post pictures when they are all showing.

                    Man after my own heart Mark .....love those plants as you know :)
                    Think you are right Martin to remove some of those conifers now......less is more there I think
                    Well, wot a scorcher today :SUNsmile: Sea breezes cooled things beautifully or the temps would have hit 30. Love this time of year when summer is at it should be esp with long, long daylight hours :yes:

                      Had apple crumble again in cookery class today. It tastes very nice, not too sweet and the fruits were lovely. I ate it at 4pm as my lunch. It was so hot .. sitting in the bus.
