Thank you Mizzle! There's plenty of flowers on both, the wild and 'normal' strawberries so hopefully there will be more fruits. I love these with a dab of fresh cream and sugar. That to me is a taste of summer ;)

Love the foliage of the red Astilbe, also like the Violas & the London Pride is always pretty, I don't mind how much mine spreads!

Feverfew- thank you! The Violas triplled or maybe even quadrupled in size compared to when I planted them there a year ago. They were the first flowers I tried growing from seed so I am very fond of them ;) London pride also quadrupled in size but that's fine (for now, at least). there's still some room left for her to expand. Good thing I've a friend with a huge garden, which is like a blank canvas at the moment. She's happy to take any plants of me, so the London Pride (and others that do a bit too well in my garden) will be split into smaller plants and gifted to her. For now, I enjoy looking at the delicate flowers ;)
Rose1949- If I remember correctly last year the flowering season was earlier, with clematis 'Multiblue' flowring in february and 'The president' not a long time after that. The geranium and aquilegias were the next to bloom and then came the roses, nasturtium and everything else. I only had the narrow strip running alongside the garden wall and much fewer plants. This year, I blame the weather, everything blooms at once, as if the plants did not want to take a chance in case they miss the 'summer' (which very well may be over tomorrow).
Hywel - thank you. I hope the plants are at least labelled correctly. Many of them were gifts and were planted without the name tags.
