I’ve seen it in a few gardens that have kept it maintained and the flowers are absolutely lovely and makes a lovely ground cover, it’s very similar to Vinca Minor but when left to its own devices it becomes an evil little flower kinda like little shop of horrors but without the fun musical numbers

like i have said before a weed is only a weed if you dont want it in your garden it is rather high maintenance tho as you found out

Plus side of the day I got all 6 rhododendron planted, Amazon delivered the 2 tall planters early so I’ve put a white rhododendron in each of them and put them at each side of back door, and 2 trough planters have 2 rhododendron in each(light and dark pink).
Putting the Bark Chips mulch around them was a fun challenge as it needed to be even but leave a space around the base of each plant

Think I spent too long in the sun yesterday as today I’m not feeling too well, thankfully all my potting is done so only thing to do later is put some feeding granules down for the plants

I get they look lovely well done on your hard work l, it's not easy doing gardens.

The plan was to do the 2 trough planters yesterday and the 2 tall planters today but Amazon delivered them a day early so thought it would be best to do all 4 at the same time(Less sweeping up lol)
I have the special granules coming today but that’s only a 5 minute job and they last 6 months.

Its better to get it all out the way at once. I wouldn't mind doing a fairy garden. I might do that next year now tho

Is that one of the tiny garden thingies with little cottages?

Yes little fairy gardens grandkids would love it

That sounds like a fun idea, don’t think it would work in my garden but I have seen them on YouTube before, some are really complex with fountains etc
I’m just trying to pick what I want to order next lol, thinking Salvia Amethyst lips, I have 2 hot lips which smell amazing

I chose all my plants this year so they come back next year, so hopely half the cost

I try and stick with Evergreens and perennials, although I do grow Pansies from seeds for hanging baskets

Nice I've not done hanging baskets

We grew a tomato plant in a little hanging basket actually. It definitely didn't grow as well as the ones in proper large pots, but you can grow anything in them that can fit in a regular pot!
We're planning on moving early next year so I don't think we'll be able to do much planting next year. Still love to see what everyone here is doing though 🙂

Strawberry plants do well in hanging baskets too 🍓

Yes I planted strawberries in the ground, which didn't help as they need to hang down, so need to be higher up. Easy access for the cheeky birds

Hanging Basket strawberries work really well as it gives them space to hang down and if you put a little piece of tinfoil on the hanging part it tends to keep the birds from helping themselves.
I did recently put up a few bird feeders and that also seems to help plus it’s lots of fun watching the little birds chowing down on the seeds although oddly they don’t seem as interested in the suet balls so might have to try another variety of them

We planted strawberries in a bed by the side of our garden last year and this year we found them halfway across the entire garden! It's surprising how far they can vine. We have both alpine and regular versions and it's nice. My partner planted them because they're one of my favourite fruits.

Alpine are absolutely delicious!!
My plan for next year is to get some dwarf fruit trees and grow some strawberries so I might be with alpine ☺️

Well the birds might not be interested in the suet balls but a very young looking squirrel has taken a shining to them this morning ☺️
