#foliagefriday and I'm hoping the rain will give this elder a much needed boost

Love it🤗

#foliagefriday

Morning folks for those that had it I hope the rain didn't do to much damage. A bit of #cataloguing to do as I popped in to a GC near me. This us to replace the one left behind and hopefully thriving at the previous house #frontbedjpea

I often pass our previous home of 25 years, we moved almost seven years ago. I try not to look as I don’t think they have touched the front garden in all that time😮😢

Oh thats such a shame Joan as I'm sure knowing your skill it was a beautiful place. I'm sure that mine will be similar but I try and remember the plants I got so much joy from but had to leave behind @joanboston

Morning Jeremy 👋

Morning Jeremy, I bought one of these recently too. If you ever make elderflower champagne with the flowers it will be pink! Just a little tip... cheers! 😃

Morning Jane 🙋‍♂️

Oh I'm sure thats why I'm really growing it Ange, nothing to do with its aesthetic qualities 😅😅 @anges

We brought a whole van load of plants with us when we moved! But of course you can’t bring everything. We have enjoyed creating a whole new space here, though I wish it was bigger! We downsized house and garden

Morning JP....

Morning Elaine 👋

I have a bare bit of wire fencing, not very high for a climber but quite unsightly @gjones and here it'll have a chance to grow unrestrained

So many flowers this year

Love this, it really makes a statement 🖤🌸

Just have to watch how big it grows and train it when necessary @pelly

Morning folks, sun is out for more #mondaymotivation gardening 😀

Morning folks, hope you have a fab Friday one and all, like mini star bursts 😊

Morning Jeremy 😊 ooo this is lovely 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

#cataloging now in #bed3jpea

Hope you have left it loads of room as they get huge 👍 gawjus one to pick though 💕 I got a cutting at beginning of year and its about a foot big so far but going to keep it in a pot, well old dustbin so it can grow tall will try lift canopy once its tall enough 👍

It can grow as high as it likes but only about 2 to 3m wide, it'll battle with a forsythia and a buddleia after that 😱😅😅
