I hope they grow fast enough to bloom this summer. I have lots of that oregano, too and love it. I guess I missed out on cashing in on my own woolly grey heathers that apeared spontaneously in my garden. Ah well.

I honestly didn't even see these flowers, though so maybe it will do more of this in the future. I hope. Maybe just minimal pruning and see what happens. By the way, Paul Bonine was talking of maybe propagating this plant, it would be a good one to make available to the public.

Yes, your roofs if they are tile are likely tricky candidates for green roofs but it's a great idea and not difficult if you can find the right kind of membrane to keep the roof sealed. How has the Netherlands been this year for weather? Have you been as hot as we have been?

I should do that here, I'll find something appropriate and give it a whirl. Thanks for the tip...sometimes my brain doesn't switch on all the way. I rarely if ever use fertilizer and when I do it's organic, so will have to figure out what will be appropriate here. Sorry about your semp loving deer!
