What are your GARDENING plans for 2009 ?

Now thats scary, reminds me of them pod fingys out of that sci fi film.s00k02

 

That's it Dee, I will photo my babies later. Becasue they are fresh, rather than dried like some pods, they sprout up really quickly. My taro roots produced smooth edged plants, but grab what you can and have a variety IMHO:thumb:

 

Im gonna have some fun with them taro's

 

Yeah I just looked it up and it grows to about 8ft x 8ft :lollol:

 

I might do the front next year if I suddenly come into some money

 

Little Miss, if you`re like me, it doesn`t grow on trees-(groan), but you find it for the things you really want.

 

I know what you mean LMRR. I could get a new kitchen for the same amount of cash id need to spend on my front garden..:wink:

 

I need a new kitchen as well lol but we need to knock down some walls. I won't be able to the drive out the front even tho it desperately needs doing but I can do the side bit. I'll post a pic tom

 

have a whole side of my house not touched yet. put in some beds and some wooden fencing for privacy. have mainly focused on bigger shrubs up till now so want to get more flowers in for some serious colours. also perhaps aa green house, would love to grow my own chillis..

 

Hi Lolli, I took a trip back to B&Q yesterday to see if I could find out the name of my plant.



Its a Rhodedendron impeditum.:D

 

So.....................nearly.......................got.........it:dh:

I have an azalea firebird-or glow-or flame or red or something-anyway it will flower bright orange. Looked like it a bit-way off with the "succulent" bit though.

 

It was a good guess Lolli very similar and they both like acidic soil. This one was classed as a small shrub also,:rolleyes: only grows to 3m x 1.5m, so I am told.s00k:rotfl: 02

 

Thank heavens for secauteurs then.

 

You are soon going to get loads of hydrangeas sweetie! :D:D:D

As many of you know I am moving out of the house and garden next year between april and june, so not many plans. But I am making an experiment of ground improving in a part of the back garden where the soil is extremely poor. All the top soil was removed time ago to lower the level and the subsoil is horrid yellow clay, hard as concrete in summer and sticky as peanuts butter in winter. I am now carting all the fallen leaves to the place, creating a very thick carpet, and the horses will have access to this place throught winter, walking and treading on the leaves all the time. I think by spring I should have a nice layer of organic mush there, without any need for work on my side, ready for sowing new grass before moving out.

 

Ivory, what a really decent person you must be, to sort out the land of someone who has behaved so abysmally toward you.


Hydrangeas it is then sweetheart
