Bumble bee

"Carol Hague" wrote snip Still not sure what to plant yet. There's a fair bit of mature ivy coming over the wall, which I don't want to disturb as it's good insect hiding territory. You may also get wrens roosting and nesting in the ivy; they seem to love a good old tangle of mature ivy as a nesting site. For their sake I hope not - we have cats who would infortunately make short work of any bird unwise enough to nest in our garden :-( I need to unearth my gardening books from the spare room and look up what plants will like the shde :-) Ooh, hellebores. Definitely. Did anyone see CK on Gardeners' World last night? I have argutifolius and foetidus and a smokey plum coloured one with no name, which are all doing well, but I covet that lovely lemon yellow one she was planting. Oh good idea - thank you. A nice white one to go near the back sounds good (the soil is higher there - not quite the bank that CK recommends, but close). I tend to favour white flowers a bit as my husband, who has impaired sight can see them much better from the house. Last month I was able to take over an allotment (complete with shed) and am gleefully planning my fruit and veg growing thereon. Happy allotmenteering.
