If my building work ever happens - in the face of Covid sending the demand for builders soaring, construction workers having gone back to the EU, and materials now at stratospheric prices and heading for the mesosphere - many of the plants in my garden will get trampled. Whenever I meet a builder I show them which part of the garden will be for storing bricks, sand, cement, tools and the rest, and which small corner I'd like them to avoid. Into that corner I continue to move the plants left by the previous owner that I want to rescue (some I can't, like two very old roses and an apple tree).

Among the plants I can save from ending up under concrete are lots of day lilies and I am now digging up this bedful and offering them on Freegle to anyone who wants them.

I'm really pleased that there are plenty of takers.
