Holehird Gardens in Windermere should be included in your best gardens vote, it came close 2nd last year in a similar competition. Whats more it is run and worked entirely by volunteers and is free to visit unlike the other gardens in this area such as Levens Hall which is expensive to visit.

Very helpful to see how Chris distributed the fertiliser as I usually just scatter a measley little handful around the plants. Not in future though!

Can't seem to find anything on Tree Peonies. I have 5 different types, 4 of which are in containers. Only 1 in the ground flowered last year with 2 huge white flowers. This year I have only 1 bud on this and all others have come up looking healthy but no buds. I followed all instructions to the letter. What is wrong please?
