Geoff and I moved to our present house in December 2013. Starting from scratch it's been a huge challenge but we love it. joanboston357@gmail.com

Well Elaine! Looks what’s sprung into life this week😂 better late than never, can I overwinter them do you think? They won’t flower this year now @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Oh Joan that’s fabulous at last…I put mine in the greenhouse and they were fine they disappeared but started to grow again in the spring, I’m not sure if they would survive our winter outside to be honest……🙌🏼🙌🏼

Purple bell vine coming on well. Sown 24/2. I’m finding the peat free compost very good this year
