GARDENING ASPIRATIONS FOR 2021/22

Thanks @Sheal,ive still need to catch up with your move & gardens xx this back garden is a lot smaller than my last one so hopefully wont take me long,ive basically chucked my cannas,callas,gingers etc in one patch for now fetched your blue clematis with me xx

 

All those plants that you've nurtured gone @joolz68! I'm sure you'll love organising this new garden though. Glad to hear the Clematis is still going strong. I don't think it would survive here but I've not thought to check it out so I'll have to do that.

Here's my thread if you'd like to take a look....

One year on....and beyond | Gardeners Corner - The Friendly Gardening Forum

 

Simple.. To get Cleome to germinate!!
3 and 4 years ago I did without a problem, but since then...

I keep saying I won't bother anymore...but I don't take defeat well!
I will suceed....I will!!

 

Not to much this year garden quite full but got a part of a border I want to replant with a new rose gabriel oak ( not bought yet ) with some astrantia superstar and a new to me salvia serenade . I got other plants to juggle around mainly the acoutium stainless steel some agastaches and plant out my Echinacea pallida . Going to see how well the front lawn does this year otherwise its gone

 

Are you going to pot the echinacea on armandii ? I've had problems with slugs eating young plants the more mature plants fend them off .

 

Thats a lot of pots!! @ARMANDII ...i know im going to end up like that by spring
i managed to fetch ur summer snow geranium with me to new home x

 

I'm going to have the very slippery decking taken up and slabs put instead of it.
Last week I went up a ladder to check the shed roof after storm Bella, and as I was coming down it slipped from under me and I fell to the ground ! ... landed on my back on top of some pots full of bulbs and smashed them to bits, and a picket fence - that decking has to be changed !
I was laughing so much I couldn't get up and apart from two bruises on my back I'm fine

 

I think you're right @ARMANDII , and I was more concerned about the bulbs than I was about myself

 

I love this thread every year

I think my aspiration last year basically boiled down to "move house", which we managed despite Covid's best efforts We've got a fairly blank slate to work with now, so for this year the main aim is to try and get the overall framework of the garden in place - put in the shed and the greenhouse, build the vegetable beds, mark out the flower beds even if we don't fill them. I'd like a pond, and on a more practical note we need a proper path running from top to bottom (hopefully with water and electric running with it). So there's quite a lot to be getting on with!
