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?

Blossoming @Former-Member
The Dutch Irises are done, but a long wall of various coloured pelargoniums are in fine display, plus lots others.

Hello goodnight peoples... our town agricultural show is on tomorrow, so I've spent the evening wandering around the garden collecting the flowers and vegs I'm entering. Still have to grab a few things in the morning before taking them up to the Homecrafts Pavillion for judging, so I'd better go get some shuteye.
Am entering my first ever successful Delphinium spike. Oooh it was a bit sad cutting it off. The judge had jolly well better like it!
