No the clematis wasnt flowering but the honey suckle is.
Graham has come home with some catmint seeds for me too

I didnt dig up the whole of that area coz its alot of hard work so i am hoping that if the wee bit that I have done takes off, then I will do the other half of the wall. Serously though you should see the size of these bloody thistles that are out there

The birds are already visiting the food stores that I have hung out so thats gotta be a good sign.

Well, Scotland is known for its bonny thistles, isn't it....

. Amazing how fast the birds can find a feeder...they're fun to watch. Is your honeysuckle the one with the cream colored flowers or the pinkish ones...both very fragrant! It sounds as if it's going to be a nice improvement to the yard!

I got one of each

Those thistle were far from bonny, thorny, huge and a ****** to get out

There is a place near Huntly called Leith Hall which has lovely gardens and THE most enormous thistle ever, but it is pretty not like the ones in our back garden.

Sounds good Elaine, it'll be nice waiting to see what it is like when it is flowering

\This is utterly off the subject, but you mentioning Leith reminds me of a tongue twister that one of my former bosses used to say: "The Leith police dismisseth us" ...bet you can't say that three times rapidly!

I can't even say it once without stumbling over my words!!

It's a nasty one, isn't it? I can't say it either: harder than "Sister Susie's selling seashells by the seashore" ....

Heathers would be good too Elaine given you are in Scotland

and they are good ground cover stopping weeds when they matt together and don't forget to plant some bulbs in the autumn.

easy but oh so colourful in the Spring.
