    That hedge is coming on isn’t it? We are heading into winter here now and had a really bad time this year with whitefly and earwigs then shieldbugs/stink bugs,still plenty of flowers and growth again though. I don’t want to spray but will need to next spring. My hollyhock seems to keep returning every year,hard to get rid of now but I love the self seeders. What are you spraying them with and for? Bugs? Rust? I have found buying poppy seed for cooking from Indian/Asian stores and tossing that out brings some beautiful flowers I didn’t know there were perennial poppies though I have hostas hope they come back when it gets warm here,they take a while to come on so hoping they do spread out. Have you found that to be the case? Forget me nots are lovely I just let ‘em grow where they choose and where I find them. I have some very new lupins I’ve put in and hope come spring they’ll do a good job. Please keep posting the lupins I’d love to see how they go. Cosmos self seeds for me here but they grow where ever they like and I just let them it can get a bit wild but I like it that way. They are trying to ban foxgloves where I am. It’s sad because it’s so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more of you and hoping you pop up more regularly now I’ve commented And thank you! It is lovely to watch your garden come on as mine is going to sleep. Aquilegias are my absolute favourite,such a fairy flower. Those peonies are gorgeous !I’ve had some in for a while but nothing is happening Do you think I should move them and plant them a bit more shallow to get em to flower? I had to get rid of my ivy it was eating my house and coming in through the power points.
