Sisyrinchium




Front garden update



The wallflowers have collapsed - they were very spindly when I transplanted them from the bottom of the back garden - I think I planted them out too close together last autumn.

Pelargoniums cut back

Saw Monty Don doing this on last week's Gardeners' World.

Before
After
The leftmost plant looks a bit iffy - when I pruned it, some gooey stuff came out.
