It’s my first summer in the new house and the garden is completely new to me as this is the first time I’ve seen it in bloom . Got and had some lovely flowers. Apple tree strawberry black berries raspberry and rhubarb. . You can tell the previous owners loved the garden

Deffo potatoes mate, easy on the N now hard on the K. too much N will weaken them and give you dramas.

Next one is Hibiscus and the last one with the cool moths Im not sure bro, pics werent very clear my end. If you can get a nice close up of an individual flower from the inflorescence I may be able to identify the family and that should help track it down. My first thought was some type of Oleander.

Hibiscus as in the tea I’ve drank while in the Middle East ? I’m now hoping so I’ve not feed looked after the potatoes and didn’t even know they was planted there 🤪 only watered them upto now the plant with the butterflies on is commonly known as a butterfly bush but is a buddelia and I think was brought to the uk from North America but I’m probably wrong thanks again hobbit. I’m really keen to look after this garden and getting to know the names of the plants will really help when it comes to cutting them back and stuff
