As you say, part of the fun of gardening is experimenting with planting combos and locations. My plants shiver at this time of year... I&#39;m always moving things around ;-)<br /><br />Ah... Walker&#39;s Low. In my book it deserves its awards! I part chop mine back just before the flowers go over to get a second flush of flowers then complete the hard pruning for the rest when new growth begins. It works for me. My fav plant for the bees :-)<br /><br />Happy Bloom Day from Scotland :-)shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443542492752722557.post-68308601603172321272011-05-16T06:08:56.491-04:002011-05-16T06:08:56.491-04:00Reads as if you are being too hard on yourself.
