Plants are in the ground with you and growing, I wouldn't worry too much about the rain at the moment, it's later on in the season when your plants are flowering that you need to worry about that!, sad news about your pigeon, I hand reared a blackbird chick with a broken foot, she stayed with me in the garden for almost 10 years, she'd even come in the kitchen and steal the cat biscuits from the bowl of the cat that had adopted me, nature eh, ill see if I can find a picture

@@Teh_Saccade,I think the crux of it is how harsh the winter is, she always had enough to eat and she figured out how to get into my shed and glass house, in the wild I very much doubt a blackbird lives that long

@Gorillagardener, Ha! They have been so hard pruned for so long - I think they're making up for it with growth I don't have space for..! D:

@Gorillagardener, Nice! Thanks for the recommendations..! and also for the genus - I had a look and you are right..! I guess the other ones didn't take, but one is enough :D I have in there atm for some bigger leaf, a few different fox gloves (hopefully purple and whites) which are going well. A few I have even transplanted with good success, which was a nerve-wracking experience :p Behind those guys, I have a load of papaver somniferum (big purple and white flowers) which ought to start coming up next month and also in August, as well as some mandrake which has similar coloured flowers - a very nice and soft lilac colour. The bees love all the purple flowers :D

@@Teh_Saccade,hey dude if you're looking for large leaf stuff have a look at rodgersia bronze beauty or a tetrapanax the plant you have in the picture is acanthus spinosus, mollis has a softer rounder leaf

@Gorillagardener, He is a nice one..! I think that sea dock is called, acanthus mollis, and is from the Mediterranean area. Idk if it will flower, as the peony hasn't flowered again... but it is one of the few things that competes against the bamboo that I am constantly ripping out, in the war against it destroying the flagstones and popping up everywhere it is not wanted (I wish whoever planted it had restricted it). It was from some seeds that I scattered last year - I threw out several different kinds and a few have taken. Mostly in my neighbour's yards, for which they are grateful - so many new plants have come to this area with me - i'm single-handedly increasing plant diversity in this town :D

@Gorillagardener, Morning dude! Thanks! It was trashed after the last guy who lived here use it as a dump..! The house is still a bit run-down, but the front is finally looking decent :D

I really hope that the papaver somniferum come up - they are scattered all around with the poppy chaff in that same section..! It doesn't get such great light, but it would look so nice..!
