The last week in the garden.

7 comments

The weather has been very variable this week with gorgeous blue skies one minute and dull cold grey skies the next. I have been steadily working my way round the garden but still quite a bit to go.
I had started the triangular bed [last blog] and did another couple of days there, moving a rose and planting a small burnet rose that I grew from seed 2 yrs ago. The seed came from Kenfig Nature reserve near Port Talbot S Wales.

This is the bit still to do in this triangular bed.

Paeonia lutea is at the far right at the gate and there are lots of buds present. In the first photo the paeonia is just missing off the right side.

I then spent a few days pottering in the greenhouse and doing housework.
Today I went down the side of the house and tidied the bed on the left. The wrought iron railing/gate had been covered with Clematis cirrhosa which i removed 3 weeks ago.

I had the company of several blackbirds when weeding this bit and I left the loose moss for them to take for their nests.

I really must remember to cut back the old Epimedium foliage but i have left it just a little too late. The new foliage on this one [Black Sea] is furry.

This is the flower, reddish sepals with pale peachy inner sepals and true petals.

One of my favourite Narcissus is Jetfire, a cyclamineus form. I started out with just 5 bulbs but over the years i must now have 5 or 6 clumps of this as they bulk up really well.

We are forecast for rain tomorrow according to the BBC so I doubt I will be out there.
