      yes , they take about two years to settle in to get really big , has to be a well drained spot and in full sun , plant them deep and put lots of horse muck in if possible and sit on a bed of gravel helps with the drainage

            What are they please? Though I don't actually have a problem with slugs and snails. Hedgehogs and birds take care of them for me.

            Looking back on what I planned to do and what actually happened is quite disappointing, even though it was through circumstances outwith my control. Hey ho, never mind, 2015 is another year and time for more plans and dreams.

              Check out ebay for flower pouches. Each bag can take 11 plants
