garden today

It all looks great Seaburn.

thanks. i am pleased with it. i go for the shoehorn school of gardening. if there is a space i try and fill it.
next to the orange asiatics is a yellow dahlia. it too is in a pot buried up to the rim. lazy gardening my hubby calls it.

I think you have a good plan .... fill the beds and get less weeds. Hope your fruit is ready soon, getting warmer next week so fingers crossed.

That isn't 'lazy' gardening, Sbg - just makes complete sense to me! I do it as well.

I have 'parked' a pot of lilies in the border...unfortunately, it has been so windy that it won't stand up. :-(

Lovely blog...your garden looks so good.Love the pic of the damsel flies

Lovely garden great photos

What great shots Sbg and I don't think it's lazy gardening either I have quite a few pots sunk in and I like to fill all spaces too.

Lovely garden.

when you sink pots do they still need drainage holes? sounds a stupid question but if roots grow through the bottom as they would on top of the ground do they still "wander"?

Yes Mookins they do still need drainage holes and the roots do tend to 'wander' but if you have some pieces of broken crock, say an old pottery pot or anything like that, and cover the hole(s) in the pot then the roots tend not to wander as much and it still allows the pot to drain. Well it works for me :o)))

ahaa
that makes sense
may try this as im getting lots of comments on the fact I planted out mint!!

doesnt bother me

x x x x

it also makes it easyier for lifting those that may need extra tlc over the winter.

oh hope you like mint mookins :o)
i plant my mint in a pot and it will go down and up but a lot of plants dont have running roots so the pot thing works well. i mainly use it with summer bulbs/tubers.

thanks for the compliments on the photo's. many end up in the delete/bin facility of my laptop.

Oh mine do too Sbg, I always take loads of shots and only use about a third of them, it was a godsend when they invented digital, saves a fortune on photo prints. I particularly like the Damselfly pic, That is a competition winner for me.
Nowt wrong with planting mint out Mookins, just so long as you keep it down, I did'nt and it ran riot but since I potted it and sunk the pot I can keep a rein on it.

its all looking really lovely sea,, great shot of damselfly to,, :o))
