A wee blether about my garden

Good luck with it all :o) I love Aquilegia too... what colour is yours?

I do hope you get results from your efforts next year, Silverbell. It seems you have had a lot of joy from seeing to your garden and planting all the seedlings.

Good for you on getting a blog written...I know what you mean about getting sidetracked when viewing blogs/photos....so many to read and see. I'll be watching for your photos!

Good luck with all your gardening plans/dreams.

You sound like me when buying plants. I'm definately not an organised gardener - well I'm not organised at anything really lol. It will be nice to see some pics when you get round to posting them.

Gosh ! thought I'd be the only one on the site at this time in the morning ! Pip, the picture on the pack were lilacs and pink - can't wait to see next year if they will be, Read somewhere that the colour of the leaves gives an indication of the colour of the flower - these are a bright green, but a shop bought one has dark variegated leaves. It didn't flower this year either.
Thanks for the encouragement Whistonlass. Yes, maybe the camera will come out today ! !
Hywell, I love the surprises you get when you start to clear up a bit of chaos. I found three primula under a shrub which I thought were long gone. My dad, who died 12 years ago, gave me them and they are now thriving.- I am so pleased. Also found a wee plastic soldier my granson lost about 10 years ago and a chrystal that's nothing to do with me and I've been in this house for 23 years ! ! It now sits in the hands of a wee, gold Budda.

New to this blogging lark, I'm not sure if I'm in the right place here to respond to the comments . . . and . . . what does "flag" mean next to the entry date?

I am definitely not an organised gardener, but that all adds to the fun, trying to find somewhere to fit the newly purchased plants in, I am still buying and autum is definitely upon us. Look forward to seeing the pictures Silverbell.

If you think a comment is a bit out of order, Silverbell, you can click on the flag button and inform the GoY managers of a breach of the guidelines ie. if someone has personally insulted you in a comment or posted something that has nothing to do with the question/blog/photo in question.

I'm pleased you found some hidden treasures. I have a lot to clear aswell and hope to find some plants I haven't seen for a while.

I find toy soldiers in my garden and my sons are in their thirties. I prefer finding plants of course.
Best wishes from a fellow Scot.
We are the ones that didn't have a warm sunny weekend!!!

good luck with your garden SB,i think a lot of us must be findig toy soldiers then, i found one the other week in the crack between paving slabs while weeding & my sons now 18 lol :o)

Ohh . . . all you wonderful people. If I'm totally honest I've been a bit intimidated by all the beautiful gardens I've been looking at, thought I'd be the only one finding stuff that's been lost for years. Didn't do any photos today either, but did visit B&Q - managed to buy only what I went for . . . . oh yes, and rescued a sad looking clematis for 50p ! ! !

Good start Silverbell, i also live in Cumbernauld lol. :~)).

Ohhh goodness - 50p for a Clem... I get so jealous of you Poms sometimes!!!!!!

Aha Pip - really they should have given them away. It's a "margaret Hunt", planted at my back door along with a "Montana Grandiflora" from Tesco - had to go out and look at the labels, all I could remember was one white the other pink. Hey, think I'l keep the big red and white 50p sticker on it ! ! !

That's handy, Skillen. Your garden looks amazing.

It is lego that I keep finding in the garden and pegs especially now that thing's are dying back.
