@Kagey_infohub They usually sit proud of the soil so should be ok!

@EdstromHelga
Just noticed cyclamen ‘bulbs’ are completely exposed. Should I leave them or cover them? Or is it game over?

@Kagey_infohub The red roots are peonies. The dandelion is an idiot. But I like them as it's very rich in nectar and very good for bees. I would leave it and pick the seed head off once it's flowered. If you try and dig it out now you might damage the peony

Survivors:
That plant I accidentally stood on last year has survived my clumsiness; 1 hellebore thrived +2 seedlings emerging @EdstromHelga; Pieris coming along nicely; moved peony from planter into ground -looks like it’s growing..is exposed root dandelion or peony?🤔
