I think it's the dreaded ox-eye daisy! LOL! Your name-sake. It could be it. But hang on, no flowers. They are usually smothered with flowers and they go, no, GO everywhere, no, EVERYWHERE!

I love them a lot, but they are like a thug .. threatening to colonise various parts of my empire! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ah! thanks @alp I did sow some this year and a few did flower.........but not there!!! Perhaps next year then

Or it could a Leucanthemum

They walk all right. I have a patch south facing and later I saw another one springing up west facing near the end of the garden! They have legs.. not so bad as Verbena bonariensis though!

Good morning to all: Have had a very busy morning. Need to remove all the compost bins to concrete ground as they are all lined up in an even area, looking as if they were bobbing in the rough sea .. Also gives me a chance to turn the compost!

Yesterday planted all the polyanthus that hubby bought. Haven't got enough, need 6 more. He's gone to webbs to get them. They're better looking plants from there.

Never heard of Webbs here in Essex. Been to a huge Dobbies in Kent. ENORMOUS! Soon they will charge for parking everywhere. We don't go with our car on weekdays to the town centre. Their loss!

 

[Logan]

They're big aswell, got lots of different shops, not just Gardening shops. You google it, put in webbs of wychbold.

@Logan Wish you had told me when I went that way.. I love nosing around in big gardening centre.. Enjoy being shocked and shaken by the prices .. LOL!

 

[Logan]

Yes they are more expensive, but you get a lot of choice. Used to go a lot, but it's a bit far.

 

[alp]

Yes, it's nice to browse ... I saw tons of streptocarpus in Dobbies.. In diy stores, nobody knew them and they went for 50p in the end. My gains!
