Phew, What a Fantastic Gardening Weekend..

29 comments


Saturday..
Sun shining like a summers day, I went out with all intentions of planting bulbs in the back garden but the borders are still too nice to pull apart so i cleaned the greenhouse cut the ivy got rid of all the rubbish i meant to sort out weeks ago, edged raked and cut the lawn, clipped the box balls, deadheaded and watered the plants, Phew, 4hours later all done and happily tired..

Two of my Cannas flowered, i still have tumbling toms and strawberries, and my Daliah’s are still beautifull..

Sunday.. Not as warm so we went shopping and i got a few bargains :)) Boxes of mixed bulbs at Liddl half price £1 29.. went to B&Q and bought a few plants there, 6 cyclemen, 5 hollyfern 5 for £5 .. 5 carex honeygold, and a variegated Adams Needle, ( Yucka Gloriosa ) £10 .. And 20 Grape Hyacinth for £2 98, But we went to Netto after B&Q and they were only 79p for 15 :(
The front garden is all planted up now, just the back garden to sort out..

28 Sep, 2009

 

wow you have been busy Dee, lots of new plants and bulbs to,your garden still looks great even though summers ended, im loving your front door trees, how do you keep them from blowing over when windy, im forever picking my salix up, even though i repotted and placed bricks in the pot first

28 Sep, 2009

 

Lovely Dahlia! Do you know its name, Ydd??
You did a lot, didn't you! I bet you were pleased with the results, though. :-))

28 Sep, 2009

 

Lovely photo`s Ydd and I know that feeling its just great,well done.........

28 Sep, 2009

 

Thanks Guys, Thats my back door Sandra :) I think the secret of them not falling over is the shape of the pots, if you use pots that top heavy, ie, wider at the top they topple easily, also there quite sheltered against the house..
The Daliah is Spectable Spritz, i have 2 and they have flowered for weeks continuously and huge flowers too..There a beautifull Orange but my camera doesen't pick up the true colour..

28 Sep, 2009

 

thanx Dee maybe i will change my pot when i get chance,

28 Sep, 2009

 

What a lovely garden you have lovely flowers with colour still in it, nice selection of bulbs you have, awaiting spring to be able to view them.

28 Sep, 2009

 

Thanks Morgana, I Can hardly wait for spring :)
Sandra, do you not fancy planting it in one of your borders? mine is in the gravely part of my garden, i just wrap the top part with fleece in winter and it doesent topple over lol..

28 Sep, 2009

 

i guess i could put it in border as they dont grow any taller with being grafted, have to get my thinking head on lol, dont they loose their leaves in winter Dee, do you wrap to protect from frost

28 Sep, 2009

 

Yeah they loose there leaves Sandra, if its not too big just use a pillowcase to protect it..

28 Sep, 2009

 

its quite wide Dee so will get some fleece for it,, thanx i wouldnt have known to cover if you hadnt said :o)

28 Sep, 2009

 

You have worked hard and your garden is lovely, so many flowers still blooming your Cannas are fantastic, and love all your new purchases, will be great to see them in Spring!

28 Sep, 2009

 

Thanks PP, I have a feeling this time next week all will be different :( and i have another Canna just about to flower too ..

I killed my last Salix Sandra :( I got Lazy and didn't fleece it.. it was a beauty as well :(

28 Sep, 2009

 

Have to say Im with Drc on that door .. lovely colour that sets off pots and bay trees beautifully.

Weather been great for us ..not before time and flowers and birds getting so confused poor goldfinches producing so many young too hope we dont get sudden cold snap.

Bulbs look lovely managed to find white grape hyacinths with fragrance too ..cant wait.

28 Sep, 2009

 

what a shame Dee, do you trim the branches a bit to to keep shape, i will cover it

28 Sep, 2009

 

Yeah sandra i do but in spring, just a trim as its kept its shape, just one thing about the fleece, ( ill remind you in spring) it has to be took off as the new buds and growth appear or you will get a horribly tangled mess, like my sis's lol...
Hi BB thanks a lot, as i remember last year was the same. Weatherwise, then BANG Autumn hit hard and winter came quick, if u know what i mean.. Poor birds, i saw 2 Crows with a youngin this morning, they were fighting off another crow, and i thought am i seeing right, I didn't know there was young birds this time of year!

I like the box in those tubs. I don't think I've seen them with you before. I like the planters each side of your door too. Very nice.

29 Sep, 2009

29 Sep, 2009
