Mr Grinch's Garden

It was great over the past two evenings. Its been so warm that i have sat out until dark, sipping a glass of wine and watching the bats catching moths over the garden.
Will be buying two Buxus balls later

 

Oooh, I have bats too! I've planted some nerine bowdenni for late summer flowering just for the bats

 

Box balls planted. Decent price aswell, only £15 for the pair

Looking great Mr G
Some serious work gone in there well done.
Time to enjoy the reaps of your labour!

 

Having a bit of a fiddle about today. The Rhodo doesnt look right where it is, so will move it into the border but in the pot. Ive bought a Taxus Bacata Fastigiata today. Its a bit small, couldnt afford a big one so will have to wait a few years to get big. Im going to put it in a pot, give it two years of TLC then plant out to its final position when about 5 feet high. At the moment, its just under 3 feet tall.

Hiya Mr G.

I trust you won't take this the wrong way, but...it's neat and all that, but I preferred it how it was, with the curved borders. Obviously, it's just my personal taste

 

Oh blimey, I really hope not

 

Are you taking the Michael Fred ?

 

Mr G,
I have the reddy,orangey,yellowy helenium but I've fallen in love with your dark rusty,maroony one. Can you tell me its name please?
I can watch the bees on an Helenium for ages; find it very relaxing and trance inducing!

Hiya Mr G.

Absolutely not. I think you've done an amazing amount of work, and produced a really nice space. All I was trying to say was that I preferred curved borders, as opposed to the straight ones you now have, that's all

 

Have to disagree Freddie, I like the straight borders myself. Hehe......

 

I love em to Jen. They are my fav late summer flowers. I think its "Moerheim Beauty". Its very neat and tidy, no staking needed. Its lovely isnt it.

Me to al n. Once its been planted and matured and once there's a bit of height and structure, the straight lines will soften. And its so much easier mowing this lawn.
