I thought at first that your mallows were anemones. They look very similar but don't like shade like anemones. Very pretty.
Also love your waterlilies. What do you feed the fish?

Re: Newbie but not to Gardening
No.11 post is a climbing/trailing Rose @AnnieS I cannot remember planting this type, but also cannot remember what was in this area exactly before. A couple of non distinct trees were removed, then started on the pond and paving, had not made any plans, just made it up as we went along..Cleared loads and loads of Brambles, many hours of repetition with the long farm type grasses, weeds of course in abundance. It is still a work in progress like most Gardens.....Main thing now is we enjoy it a lot.The Mallow is in the shade too much,so reckon that is why the flowers are so small...

Some Plants in my garden aren’t doing very well think the weather in early spring has stunted them.
I have lost a quite a lot of plants, normally they thrive Chilie6 and the Petunia's in one of the Photos were purchased recently..other's are fighting to live..it is a shame but shows you how the Climate alters the growth so much..
Today I was gardening at 6.30 am, my time, otherwise the short bursts during the day is all we can do.and it is not enough to keep the Garden as we wish...
Strawberry plants where really small and new this spring, so pleased they have grown really well.
Had fruit off them already and unexpected so young. they are sprouting out babies already as well...

So you’ve bought some new plants recently, I haven’t bought any for a while now.
Agree with you re the climate where we had the cold spring plant growth was reduced. Hopefully they may pick up.
Yes short bursts is the way forward in this warm weather.
