Relocating plants

I'm not sure what I want to do with the garden yet but I'm ready for a bit of a change around. The rain has softened the soil enough for me to relocate a large berberis shrub. It wasn't easy at it is a thorny little blighter but I like its new position and the space left behind will be put to very good use. The strawberries in the border weren't such a good idea as they  are  were running riot... I have hoiked a load of them out and binned most of them. Although the lupins were spectacular I thought some of the colours were a bit drab. I am seriously thinking about pulling some of them out and using the space for something else.. not sure what though just yet. My beautiful Hollyhock snapped in half during that horrible storm the other day. I was gutted as there were still loads of flowers on it waiting to open. I cut them off this morning but left a few of the seed heads on the stalk in the hope that they will ripen and I can plant seeds. Speaking of seeds.. the pomegranates have been a storming success. They are germinating like crazy and will need potting on in a week or two.  Trifid mango is coming along in leaps and bounds and the avocado are really strong and healthy.  Something is eating the leaves on the avocado though so I will need to keep and eye on them. I had to pick a caterpillar off the mango this morning but haven't a clue how it got there.
The gladioli that I planted in front of the hedge are starting to open. They add a lovely splash of colour to that border

The scent from these fills the garden.. They are fabulous

These gorgeous beauties are fragrant too

The rain has made everything fresh and green again
