Charlie (and Giorgio's) Garden

Can't see a white one top left CharlieBot, could you be more specific picture wise please?

I know the rose but can't think of the name, I'm sure @wiseowl our wonderful rose man will be able to identify it for you.

 

Sorry, it's actually top right- in front of the light purple cosmos.
My perennial collection from T&M arrived today. I've spent a couple of hours potting them all on and when bigger I'm going to give half to my mum and dad. Really happy with them, only one or two look slightly dodgy but the rest all seem to be good strong plugs.

 

I think it's a Foxglove.

 

Today. Pics of new shed to follow, been busy building!

 

Today

 

This morning, now the lawn looks better some overall pics are available for your viewing pleasure ha ha.

In the past couple of weeks we have built a shed, and I've added another arch with a honeysuckle plus I've kept up the hardcore weeding. Hardly any nettles left now though some bindweed has returned which I'm going to nuke when I dig the annuals and dahlias up in autumn. This flowerbed is the one pictured top right. I'm especially happy with the one bottom left which was previously mostly couch grass. The total cost of the plants in it is about £4, I either grew them from seed or bought them cheap and the purple phlox was a gift. There are 2 roses in there, one was cheap and a lovely yellow one was already here.

 

My garden was kind to me and waited for me to return from a 2 week holiday before showing its best. Lots more dahlias and roses coming and scruffy pamphas grass has redeemed itself with loads of flowers about to appear. Just want to do lots of moving and planning so next year the borders can have more of a colour scheme. :-)

 

Some new pictures.

 

Potting bench in my shed and a cloudy overview of the lawns.

 

Still brimming with colour and the lawns are nice and green Charlie. Have you hoiked anything out and replaced it with something that you liked more?

Well the thing is, I can't bear to dump anything living (except greenfly and slugs!).
However, my friend has started her garden from scratch so I'm going to dig up phlox, crocosmia lucifer, geranium, peonies and japanese anemone for her as I've far too much of those! Hoping to do that in the next few weeks and maybe plant out some winter pansies and perennials if they're big enough.
I did throw away a dead camelia and my other one (which had a virus) has come back great from being a twig. I've also got a range of daffs to plant once the space is made.
Thanks for the nice comment Jenny.

 

It's looking good Charlie!

 

Thanks @Sheal, really appreciate it.

 

A few new pictures, planted out some wallflowers and winter pansies along with a range of spring bulbs. Now got a greenhouse complete with homemade staging! Happy but fed up with dark nights, very bored! Thankfully joining a local horticultural society on Wednesday.

 

A rubbish nighttime picture of my containers, planted with hellebores, aquilegia, pansies and a selection of bulbs (daffs, tulips and alliums).
