Am envious of your mahonia - I put a small one in last autumn.<br /><br />If you adore the camellia would it be easier to move the step (or extend it to the right?).

I had quite a few but I pulled them all out in a fit of paranoia about the kids eating the leaves - they are highly toxic apparently (My theme of the week it seems). They did do much better for me in the UK anyway.Lizhttp://www.suburbantomato.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-29988231561402484462012-01-19T10:32:52.359+00:002012-01-19T10:32:52.359+00:00I haven't noticed any bulbs coming up in my ga...I haven't noticed any bulbs coming up in my garden yet, I must go out and look for them, they're probably hiding.
