I adore rhodies but they dont do well on this heavy clay suffolk soil. I love the way you put your photos throughout your text, I am only able to produce one at the top as yet.

Am with you on the alliums and foxgloves and in the veg garden, my parsnips are struggling too. Broad beans and French beans going great guns as are the onions and shallots, but not doing peas this year.xWoozle1967https://www.blogger.com/profile/10438625886508520803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-85989181638341308112007-05-23T12:30:00.000+01:002007-05-23T12:30:00.000+01:00Beautiful alliums, one of our favourites too.

But they have eaten many of my veg seelings, so I am going to look for a nemotode or something green to zap them.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378174162151683519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-2095788023520187632007-05-22T13:05:00.000+01:002007-05-22T13:05:00.000+01:00Elderflower jam!! how wonderful! do you share your...Elderflower jam!! how wonderful! do you share your recipes.

One of these years I'm going to time it right so I get to see Bodnant again at the optimum azalea/rhodendron time - it is stunning. I know rhodies aren't good for woodland but I adore the fizzbomb colours - particularly when they clash. They grew splendidly round here and we have some stunners up the drive...but can't match anything else - except possibly foxgloves which grow like weeds (but only the native pinky ones). <BR/>Thanks so much for continuing to read Walker....and for your comments which are SO helpful. jxxx PS - so glad all was well...Exmoorjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230395732150659356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-39116282714394237772007-05-21T10:05:00.000+01:002007-05-21T10:05:00.000+01:00Lovely writing Elizabeth, your garden sounds reall...Lovely writing Elizabeth, your garden sounds really amazing, I have many of the same things happening here but on a much smaller scale - I've probably only got about a dozen alliums in my little cottage garden but they give me an inordinate amountof pleasure! I love foxgloves too. And thank you thank you - I have been wondering what the correct term was for 'sticky willy' as it is known by all the children here - now I know! It is everywhere in my garden.

It will be a long time until ours are ready to bloom, though, they haven't grown higher than 9" yet.
