Got my new Lavender hedge planted this afternoon, Coventry Garden Centre had Lavender on special offer this morning and I got 4 Lavender plants and a bag of horticultural grit for 12 quid, got them planted this afternoon, I also cleared up the last of the old hedge which I'd dug out earlier in the week.

My two lonely toms from the greenhouse, they are now ripening off in the window and will hopefully let the others in the greenhouse grow and ripen a bit more

It's accepted wisdom that agapanthus plants perform better when their roots are restricted.
This variegated one flowered for the first time this summer, and promptly celebrated by breaking its pot!
To the best of my knowledge the pot hasn't had a knock, but it must have had some inherent weakness to suffer this sort of damage just from the pressure of pot-bound roots.

No sign of either so unsure , trying not to use pesticides as we have hedgehogs that visit the garden
