What Jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2014..

new greenhouse tell us more Ian make size etc , mine is just too small , looks great but .... wish I would of bought a bigger one , I suppose we all think that ....

 

Seen one on ebay 6x6 with 4mm poly carbonate , would like to get a larger one but not got the room

 

Have you looked in your local paper @Ian Taylor? ...there could be one someone wants rid of

 

Ive looked all over locally, nothing

 

That's a shame...still keep your eye out though

 

Thats what I thought

 

Got the coleus going under the new grow lights (never had any success with these other than plug brought ones).
Chillis I'll do tomorrow.
Dead headed some pansies and polyanthus.
Un tied the trachycarpus fortunei in the front garden it's took a battering with all these winds.

 

Haven't ordered anything yet, still got quite a bit of work to do yet

 

12 X 8...Door at each end ,2 auto openers and about 300 plant pots all for £75 ...it was 20 years ago but it's the best bargain i've ever had

 

Oooh, jellus lol

I've just got one delivered but only 8 x 6, one door and one auto opener . Base was out of stock so can't even get it put up till that arrives in a couple of weeks.

 

You got a second (manual) vent, or just the one?

If only the one I strongly recommend you get a second. Hard to ventilate with only one, and no option to open the leeward side only. Hard to fit a second vent once the greenhouse is built ...

 

Hi all long time missing.
Birds decided that they would try to get my Vine Weevils out of a tray of Fritileria seedlings so I sorted them out and found more weevils and about 300+ bulbs so transfered them to new trays and compost.

Not seen the Winter Garden there before, but heard good things about it. We were really impressed and had a thoroughly good afternoon out

Curves serpentine path hides the surprise that is around the next bend either with wide sweeps of planting like this:



or with taller planting:



Some strong-contrast colour schemes too:


and a final section planted with lovely white stemmed Betula utilis jacquemontii.

Well worth a visit, if you can't go to see it in person there are some more photos on my blog:

@Kristen .....WOW.......Lovely pics..The Betula Jacquemontii is just indescribable

 

They were lovely Bit hard to imagine how to use them, to good effect, in a small garden. East Ruston have a nice serpentine path, which works nicely and would be a bit easier to accommodate than the "Grove" at Anglesey Abbey, but (sadly) I can't think of anywhere to squeeze some in here. They ain't cheap either - particularly if you want a dozen or two for a feature :(
