Cutting down to one stem

Saturday, 28 July 2018

I've been busy cutting down the plants that have their buds secured in early August.  I've also applied a top dressing of final potting compost an inch to 1.5 inches deep to encourage new roots through the bud swell period. 

 

Looking down under my cover. Gigantic familly are nearest the top
