Just wait till abou Oct them dig him up and chop him into two or three with either your spade or a knife spade is better. he may just break into sections,. then plant them again. Thats what I do

Lovely garden Alex - please tell your OH he has done well! I am particularly taken with the neat lawn edges and that lovely red/orange flower - what is it, a marigold or something else?

[dandysmom]

Looking good, Alex! A lot of hard work there, and it shows! Is that a lavender or a rosemary to the left in the third pic? And I'd like to know what the orangey red flower is too...like it...want some!!!

[alexgirl73]

yes its rosemary Eileen in the third pic, my lavender is on the left in the 2nd pic, sadly depleted as when the guys were installing the cat pen they stood all over it!!!!!!!!! Trimmed it all back now and waiting for it to grow again.

I have no idea what the orange/red flower is, best ask Kazz as they came from her

and thank you Yola and angie

The foliage doesn't look like the common geraniums (Perlargonium); looks more like the hardy geranium, and I didn't know they came in shades other than blue, lavender and sort of mauveish. Where did you get them? Don't suppose you remember the name of the variety, do you? I love the color...
