Lovely Sheal
Looking good Woo

 

Wow! Superb colour Logan

 

Thank you @Verdun love all the pics on here.

 

Hi @shiney , what is the pale flower above the Kerria please ?

 

Thanks @shiney , like that one I'll keep a look out for it. I'm not keen on the other two but I think that has such a lovely fresh Spring-like colour.

Some nice plants there Gary....taking shape now

 

Loving the photos of everyone's beautiful spring gardens.

Our garden is starting to bloom now, I absolutely love this time of year.






I have a question about an established Forsythia that is possibly in the wrong place now.
Can it be moved? If so, is Autumn the best time once it is dormant?

If we did attempt to move it and it died, is there any thing we can do beforehand, like a cutting or something, in order to try to have a back up plan? Its really beautiful, but its down the side of the house where you don't really get to see it, I have a place in the back garden where I think it would be happy. Or do I just buy another one?

 

Can you post a picture Sienna?

I have moved pretty big forsythias, wegeilas, philadelphus, deutzias etc., etc., and done so sometimes at completely the wrong time of year....given to sudden impulses alas!!....and they still move well. However, move in autumn .....bit late for now

If yours flowers well, and some don’t, try to keep it. No, no special preparation needed if moved in autumn save for deciding on recipient site, digging compost etc to help improve the soil. I like to dig the recipient hole before digging up anything. Cut back damaged or very long roots, cut back top growth maybe by a third (this means no flowers next year) and watering it in well

Handsome fellow isn’t he?.....the dog I mean

 

Great thanks @Verdun , we will put that on hold for Autumn.

The dog is our five month old retriever Mabel. She's lovely, and such a good girl most of the time! She does tend to get the zoomies and charge around the garden and in the borders which has lost us a few plants, cheeky thing. Gets away with it with her cuteness luckily!

 

Forgot to add the forsythia does flower really well which would be such a shame to lose it. But we do need to rethink the border at the side of the house.
