              You have a very interesting garden. Do you have a big plot?

                Thank you @Victoria. No, it's quite small, about 18m wide and 12m deep. It's on two levels, dropping gradually halfway widthwise by about 2m. The black fences and hedges make it look bigger!

                  I've just taken some photos from upstairs @Victoria to give you a better idea of the layout and size!

                    It is lovely, so green and different heights giving it character. :dbgrtmb:

                        :biggrin: I think this is funny ... but good ... this is an Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (yellow) cutting I am nuturing ... and this morning I espied a bud on this tiny babe ... I wonder if it will actually flower? :scratch:

                          It would probably be better to remove the flower bud, you want all the plants energy going into its roots.

                            A gift from the birds , I've tried growing foxgloves from seed a couple of times, without success, so am happy to find this hiding behind a Trachycarpus
