Front gravel bed.
I didn't plant any of these sedums they all seeded themselves. Great to get help in the garden!

Flame creeper
See how the flame creeper(Tropaeolum speciosum) has shot up through the trees. This was a root I planted last year.

Alstromeria
This is the orange Alstroemeria that was planted 8 years ago. Even Mary Waldron said she is still struggling to get rid of this plant in her garden. It is a lovely cut flower and lasts well. Anyone who would like a clump of it can come and collect!

Small Angels Fishing Rod
Three friends and I went to Boyce, Moanwing and Terranova gardens in Limerick (
www.limerickgardentrail.com). They were all wonderfull gardens to see. Terranova was a treasure! Deborah(from Terra Nova) had my unknown plant !

Can anyone tell me what this is?
We had a fantastic trip to the Alpine garden at Lissadell House Sligo (well worth visiting) last Saturday and I saw my unknown flower there. The staff member in the garden couldnt tell me what it was. Here is a better picture. The flowers are like minature foxgloves but the leaves are long and narrow like Penstemon leaves.

New veg patch
I was given inspiration from all the veg growers on garden.ie. Where the 3 large spruce were chopped I planted cabbage, parsnip, carrot and turnip. I haven't planted veg since 1990's.
