August BM's Hideout

Up the ladder and... finally a sunflower...

 

Thanks BM - I will put it in the ground then and follow your instructions

Lovely sunny sunflower pic too

 

hi MARGE, like BM I have zebra grass. all 3 clumps went in the ground last year and doing very well. one of the clumps is 5ft tall.I put mine round the pond.

marge, guess what I DID TODAY,went to the garden center in the village and they were giving it away. I BOUGHT 4 OVER grown climbers for �£4 each (were �£17 before) and 40 perenials all for �£30. it was an end of season sale. most of the perenials were about a foot tall. its a bargain. now the side of my house looks like a garden center.

 

I bet the Zebra Grass looks grand round the pond Fancy and those were some bargains, eh? :D You could buy a nice bottle of red with some of that money youve saved

I went to a nursery in Hampshire - it was fantastic! I bought a Tamarisk, a Zebra Grass (!) and a Clematis - Royal Velours. They were quite pricey so no bargains.....now all I have to do is decide where to put them :rolleyes:

 

Clematis - Royal Velours... a fine choice marge

 

the tamarisk is a very tall plant so be carefull where you put it. I also had the same as you clematis-royal vapours. in that bargain lot.They also had black grapes for �£3.25 I might get it on sunday.

 

Well, I couldn't wait for my answer ... so t'other half and I slaved in just under 30oC (29.6oC at 6.30pm I believe) and dug up one plant and replaced it with another ... such is life ... aaahhh!

 

It is on my list for tomorrow :D

 

I'm blown away by your garden BM! Its awesome!

Just one query, I thought those sort of wild dogs that you've pictured are only found in the African Game Reserves, not in the tropics???

Amazing!

Kind regards
Roy

 

Cheers Royster...and Colchester ZOO
