The garden is doing OK still.

When you think this was only planted out earlier this year the display have been good, and long lived. I think I will chalk this one up as a success.
I did the third drive today as a volunteer for the local home hospice. Third time I have taken the same guy to and from Addenbrooks, a round trip of 120 miles each time. I am fine with the driving, its the waiting that I struggle with. My struggle is nothing compared with my passenger and all the other patients who sit there day after day receiving treatment that, in many cases, initially makes them feel worse. Their courage and fortitude is amazing.
