• Anyone else’s Clematis having a late start? Our Mayleen is fine but we also have a couple of Montana which aren’t even sprouting and a beautiful group 2 called H.F. Young which usually flowers in Spring and hasn’t done anything. I’ll be gutted if that one’s dead as it has stunning large blooms :’(

  • One of ours has gone nuts but the other one in more shade hasn’t got going at all yet. It was fine last year so a bit of a mystery

  • I finally had a chance to investigate today and I think they’re in trouble, two of the three have an orange fungus growing at the base and the other also has very squidgy stems so I guess it was rot over winter. Usually with our chalky soil the moisture just flies through. Especially annoying as I’d trained one to go right up and cover our kids climbing tower.

    On the flip side our wisteria and salad bed are making a very tranquil space at the end of our garden.
