Have a third attempt at a dental appointment this afternoon, so have all digits crossed that works out. I am getting a bit fed up with it dragging on, but we shall see.
My mutabilis came from a cutting a dear friend stole for me from her local graveyard, a wee story that has always appealed to my darker side. She is a great rose, an easy grower and very biddable to being pruned French style - with hedge clippers, lol. I have an old fuchsia planted alongside and the two get along rather nicely, but will look extra good this year as a wild digitalis has seeded beneath her. With luck the combination will be perfection. I popped some alyssum seedlings in around her feet yesterday to try and persuade the local grasses to stop popping up in her prickly skirt. Pulling those is no fun.
