Today I was actually able to get outside for a snippet in the middle of the day. I got some deadheading done and of course was pleased to be able to get some more pictures.Things for the most part are very colourful, but the back garden needs more. It is mostly shade so I find that the choices are not so plentiful. Even though it is very wet and shady, what is there is doing very well and is overcrowding. Time to share again..... astilbe

i was just looking at your other photos, i had foxglove years ago, but mine wasn't doing anything and i pulled it after about ten years. i don't know how long you have to wait until you finally get it to look the way you want, mine remained a spindly little thing forever, but maybe i just had it in the wrong spot of my garden.
