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?

That Swan was great @Faith-and-Hope
Except I don't know what it was actually trying to do - it made a bit of a mess, & even pulled some of the plants out...

Yes @Former-Member It was pretty strange, but very funny.
I've just been over reading the Topic Tuesday posts. A really good discussion.
Unfortunately I only caught the tail-end of it, & they've finished up now.

I haven't had any Swans helping with weeding (recently).
But I have had several (not just one) Tree pruning services (tradesmen) - canvassing (asking) for work, over the last 2 days.
At $500 to $1000 per job. So I'm not in a hurry to engage their services.
They charge like wounded Bulls...
