A SOS to any green thumbs out there
I have always found gardening to be therapeutic and it has given me great joy. However, after a major crisis with Mr Darcy's health I have not had been able to get back into it. Have other gardeners suffered from a similar hiatus and how have you recovered and got going again?

PS have a spot that needs filling any recommendations for a 1m high cool climate white flower plant?

Could you sneak those cuttings in somewhere @Shaz51...
Then if Mr Shaz didn't notice (until they're bigger) - he might just happily accept them.
Or think that they had always been there...
Yes that's a stretch (I know).

@Sophie1, those are the "fruit" of an Arum Lily. Pretty, but toxic if eaten.

Thx @Smc it was really bugging my friend - her elderly father had even taken a cutting and trying to grow inside his patio lol - he has a cat too so will warn re placement !!

@Sophie1, they grow pretty easily from divisions. The cat may show no interest in it at all, but I'd probably recommend caution.
