Garden 21.9.12

Still very nice,Cinders..let's hope it continues for a while yet ..

Yes let's hope so. Thanks Sandra

Your garden looks great Cinders. Nice to still have some colour and of course a source of nectar for the insects.

Thank you Lindak

You garden looks splendid Cinderella....:>)

It looks very nice Cinders - still plenty in bloom

Thanks both of you. It is quite colourful still.

A very pretty outlook. Lovely colours still.

Thank you Wildrose

Love it! Cinders that path just leads you on. what is round the corner?;0)

Thanks PP. Its steps down to my lower garden where the rockery is, and the seating area and Heuchera bed, plus the veg patch.

looks really nice Cinders, loads of colour still :-)

Ah! English gardens! Nothing to beat them. Hard work, though. Feeling very nostalgic.

Beautiful!

Thank you SL Hope it lasts a little longer.

Gattina thank you, it doesnt seem like hard work as I enjoy it so much.

Thank you Michaella

Are you really Hb.... hope it lasts.

Well my garden is quite small really. I think it looks bigger on photos than it really is. So everything is closer together of necessity. Probably too much in it as well.!!

Sounds very enticing Cinders perhaps more pics of the Rockery,seating area and Heuchera bed;0)

Done.

It's not only colourful, but neat too Cinders. I wish mine was neat, I've fallen behind a bit ....so much tidying to catch up on and tulips to plant which I bought yesterday:-)

Thanks Ba. I haven't bought any new bulbs to plant this year, and have dug out some of the old ones, so I really ought to get some. Going away for a few days tomorrow, so it won't get done for another week at least.

BA, I have bought loads of tulip bulbs, but was advised not to plant them for at least another month yet. What's the expert advice on this? What would happen if I planted them now? (Not that I have any tubs and planters free of summer bedding yet). Anyone?

Gorgeous. Sooo much colour.

Gattina, as a tulip expert ahem ...... I heard on Gardeners Worls that here in Britain we can plant now, the sooner the better, but no idea about Italy. Hope this helps lol:-)

From what you say, it would probably be ok, BA, and it would be good to get them all done before the weather changes, which can happen very, very suddenly round here, but I'm a bit worried, because everything seems to think it's spring already, and all the hyacinths, muscari, etc., are already popping up, and next year's annuals from this year's seeding have got flower buds on. The seasons have gone mad! If we get winter temperatures as bad as last year's were, we could lose the lot. Maybe I could plant half of the tulips, and in a month or two's time try to remember where I've put them all and plant the second half. What do you think? I think it's called hedging one's bets!

Still looking the biz Sylvia....no surprise there lol.....

Enjoy your break away x

We had two more days away when I had to see the Surgeon...
(he was pleased) with the progress...We went to a Campsite near to the Clinic, and made a relaxed time of it....

Thanks Sue, good idea to stay near the Clinic, pleased all is going well. Just home, after a very wet week away, but enjoyed the break.

Hi Sylvia, aww shame about the weather, we've had wall to wall Sunshine here, and getting lots done...

Glad you enjoyed your break anyway, makes a difference...x

Hi cinders, see you try to disguise your wheelie bins! Ugly things, but don't know where i'd be without the garden wheelie!!! :)
