    Looks peaceful Pete. I like the path ... down to the allotment? Is that a Buddleja?

        That’s a great Brug. Andrews.
        I guess it must have been kept inside over winter.
        Mine is looking good but still in full leaf........with potential.

          I dont actually have a Buddleia, so not really sure what plant you are referring to Victoria, the white flowers are the Aesculus californica.:smile:

                H @pete is that albizia in the photo above the garlic? And do you ever eat the feijoa petals? I've tried them and they're not bad!
                @verdum is the phlox Norah Leigh or is it Harlequin? Looks pretty robust for a variegated one.

                  CarolineL, it’s Nora Leigh. Yes, grows well here.:)
                  I have Harlequin too elsewhere:)

                      Ive never tried the feijoa petals but have read that they were used as a sweetener before sugar became the norm.

                            How old was the feijoa when it started to flower @pete ? I grew some from seed last year and have one in the border now. Its currently about 12" tall. I might plant another as I have a few in pots
