Trying to replace a shrub but unable to find the name of it.

Here is a teucrium fructicans.

MORNING FORKERS

Morning all.

Ali Newbie I know several people with those little plastic greenhouses. They need to be in a sheltered position and are useful when you have windowsills indoors full of seed trays and you want to put the seedlings somewhere before hardening off. But you don't need them for growing soft fruit. Strawberries, raspberries and currents are hardy and can go outside. What you then need is netting to keep the birds off!

More weeding today.

best cherry tomato?

I think Sungold is the best followed by GDelight. Why not try both?

Today I feel so happy....

It's a lovely day today after quite a bit of rain. Beds were dry now they've been watered, without any effort from me.

Can anyone identify this tree?

Looks like an apple to me too, but a photo from the side might help, looks as though you were perched on top of it!

What did you do in your garden today?

It looks lovely. My daffodils are well over and my tulips are on the way out (Dordogne). Today and for the unforeseeable future it will be weeding! Here's one I did earlier!

Plant or weed?

Looks like a wild arum.

Spring sweethearts

Lovely photos again Marion.

The tiarellas are foaming here.

red onions

If one's up the others should follow soon. You did leave the onion tips poking up above the earth didn't you?

Plant identification please

The top one is definately Iberis, I have it and I love it. It seeds itself, but only makes clumps which aren't harde to pull out.

The other, Vinca, I have that too. Starting to hate it. I never planted it, it wasn't here when we came here and it's got into my biggest herbaceous border. At first I left it because it's pretty, but now it's spread very quickly and got into other plants and isn't easy to get out. I should have been more vigilent in the beginning, but I never have time to get round to everything, garden's too big!
