Revamping the flower bed

I need room! With this in mind I made the decision to take up my two year old fox gloves which would dying off soon anyway. I also have some more of these plants in another part of the garden, so I wasn't depriving the bees by taking away the last remaining flowers.
 


It was after I had taken the second picture that my husband stuck his head out the door and said "remember to leave some plants in the garden!"  Cheeky bugger!  There was plenty of greenery left!  I had even uncovered some new foxglove plants, so I should be treated to another display of them next year too.  Anyway the extreme gardening was down to the fact I needed a home for my asters and chrysanthemums, both of which were grown from my pot luck collection of seeds from ebay.

The asters are getting bigger by the day were as the chrysanths will hopefully put on a growth spurt now there out in the open.  I've put some wool pellets around the little plants to keep those pesky slugs at bay!
 
 
 

 When I get a abundance of flowers (fingers crossed), I'll be sure to post a picture, watch this space!
