What are we doing in the garden 2025

@noisette47, I have put them in pots for the moment, intending to work out later if I want them in the border, but perhaps they can stay in the pots!

 

I did the same but on a 25 year-old Jasmine officinale that regularly puts out 10' stems in all directions. I felt a bit guilty cos' everything I cut off was still lovely and green, but it'll bounce back soon enough. Good to get the shredder out again!

 

Today I planted a row of 5 Calamagrostis Karl Foerster in the bed above the low sandstone wall in my front garden and topped it off with some bark. I moved a couple of Geums around in my back garden and planted 3 Berberis Orange Rocket and a Cotoneaster, removing a scruffy Lavender to make some room. The Berberis is narrow and upright so it should provide a good contrast with some of my grasses and evergreen shrubs. After some heavy rain this morning, which wasn’t forecast, the lawn was quite soggy so I tried to avoid walking on it. I suspect I’ll be battling with moss again this year .

 

Tidied up a big pile of prunings into two piles one for shredding and one for bits too big for the shredder.
Pruned another buddleja and dead headed a few things.
Picked up a few pots and trays that had been blown around.
