    Thanks both I like lillies but not in side as they get on my chest. It's a bit early to plant them out as frosts 
    Hope your crop takes off @Rosie_Scope

    Thanks @Biblioklept the shed will be my office again once it gets a bit warmer. It has electricity and internet, but no heating.   :D
    That's so cool @Albus_Scope, like you're own secret lair or hideaway!!! 

    Sorry your lillies got trashed @ada, will you be growing more again?? I love the greenhouse, I'm going to try it! There's so much choice online that it's a bit overwhelming and I'm worried I'm throwing loads of money into an interest that I'm going to fail miserably at, but I think if it works and goes well it would be so good for me

    That's beautiful @Sandy_123 <3

    My next door neighbour's been trying to grow a passionflower @JW77,but she's the kiss of death to everything she plants.

    Don't worry @Teigr once a passionflower takes off, it turns into a weed!  We were forever pulling chunks of it out in our old house haha. Beautiful magnolias there, have you seen the 'meganolias' they're selling now? The flowers are as big as a childs head! 

    Beautiful colour choices there @JW77, the bees will thank you for the buddleia for sure. <3

    Thanks everyone for your beautiful garden photos.
    I’m jealous I stay in a flat but share a  back garden with my neighbours.
    Keep your photos coming.  ❤️

    I have been really jealous of everyone posting garden pics. Maybe tomorrow I can find something in my new garden to post?? I didn't notice anything much growing in there when we viewed the house mainly because I was examining the horrible tiny rabbit hutch with no cover on it hoping there wasn't a miserable resident in it. There wasn't fortunately, but it did let me be more hopeful about the landlord allowing ours. Who will no doubt do their best to eat anything that is growing because I don't believe in keeping them locked up. I will cage the plants not the rabbits, at least not during the day.

    Raised planters might be a good solution there @bookrabbit ? Fingers crossed you'll have lots of lovely blooms of your own to admire soon. <3

    Hi Everyone! It is lovely that you have gardens, good bad or indifferent, and it doesn't  matter if do you murder plants  - at least you try! I am going to try and grow herbs this year. I am of course looking at disaster in the face, but I did manage once before.

    Good luck @Steve_in_The_City! I've never managed to keep a basil plant alive for very long, but I've had some success with thyme and chives in the past. It's always nice to be able to cut a few fresh sprigs of something to stick in whatever you're cooking :)

    We did loads of work in the garden yesterday and I was hoping to get out there again today but it's raining.

    My garden 2 years ago before my son moved home last year with a 3 month Cocker Spaniel





    My garden tonight as I try to rescue something from it.  20 years of work down the drain





    ... I've actually cried a few tears at the destruction and plants lost that I've nurtured from seeds or cuttings

    I tell people that the Work in Progress is new horizons, when secretly I resent the loss
