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's a nice picture of Ogre Ears @Former-Member
I found out that it's actually a Jade plant - you would know that one.
Just an unusual variety, leaf-shape.

Well done Mr @Former-Member.
I have to get back to ours but kind of lost interest until it is actually ours.
Here is another of my projects.
We brought this garden arch with us. Planning to install it properly and it will be an opening to a path and bridge over a fish pond that needs refurbishing.

Here is the fish pond that was filled in by the previous owner.

Hi @eudemonism
I do believe clumping bamboo can be grown from segment cuttings. I haven't tried it myself @Smc may have but had some success with a tree dahlia grown from segments.
