What jobs are we doing in the Garden today 2015

More dead heading,watering and weeding

 

Thanks @shiney, you've calmed my nerves! I shall put the Hoover back in the cupboard & get the trowel back out of the shed! The poor Hoover needs a break!

Argh! That cheeky dam rabbit! There's going to have to be at war at Shineyland

 

You can practically see their "uh oh we've been busted" faces

 

Squish! Just a bit of dead heading, and removal
of volunteer Californian poppies. Now there is enough room for another climbing rose, and 3 new shrubs

 

Finally got the Rose garden cleared.

Willow has been beheaded , now there's just a stump about 4" high.
Gonna give this a good drink of brushwood killer.

Planted 18 Euonymous around the two sides just behind the Aubrieta. Hopefully we can get this to join up with the Box hedge which is around the front end of the bed.

Also, got some Alyssum Saxatile seedlings to put in as i love the combination of the gold Alyssum and purple Aubieta in the spring.

So, now we're ready to lay the weed suppressant and get the gravel.

Then it'll be piccy time

 

I like the Alyssum Anthony. I might give that a go if I'm still here next year.

 

Hi Sheal, wherever you are next year, let me know if you want any as we'll have some spare and you'll be welcome to them

 

Thanks for the offer Anthony, I may take you up on it.

Even though I'm not investing in the gardens now because of the eventual move, I still have an overwhelming desire to grow and I've always preferred growing to gardening. With the almost complete failure of my annuals this year because of the weather I've decided to grow a load of winter pansies which I haven't grown for five or six years and fill all the pots with them. My basket Begonias have failed too so they will be ousted ready for pansies. If I can't have colour for summer, I'll have it for winter instead!

 

It's surprising how plants grow overnight isn't it Take it easy
