What Jobs Are We Doing in the Garden Today... MK2..

Al n your garden is soon going to resemble Armandii's, you have bought so many plants recently. Not that I've got a problem with that.

 

I just can't help myself. Save a bit, spend a bit! It did need them though. Still got a few more on my list too

 

Loli, I'm trying to think of a response that I could post at this time - on a Sunday afternoon,
Nah, forget it.....

 

Not much today but cross pollinated some daylilys so will wait and see what happens (put tags on so I dont forget) went round with a pencil and re-wrote on the name tags
Picked tomatoes, yes !! Courgettes 4 .

Friday I cut all the lawns.

Spruce

 

Now i should take a leaf out of Spruces book....cross pollinate...that's the fella...trust me to word it wrong

 

been busy busy busy shall do an upload tomorrow when i not so Kncakard just doing a catch up

 

Flogged up to Swaffham, Norfolk on Saturday to the Exotic Plant Sale and bought a few things, raced back to pick up my Mother for lunch who was foul such that I wished I hadn't bothered and had some spent the extra time instead exploring the parts that I had not had time to see ...

Flogged back to Norfolk on Sunday to see East Ruston Old Vicarage (seemed hugely overgrown this year, Verbena bodnatensis rampant everywhere and 5' - 6' tall! no doubt a side effect of the wet-growing-season, and some Equisetum Hyemale looked like it had escaped [from a pond?] and run amock in the entrance path), and then to Kevin Scales exotic garden open under NGS nearby - he's a good salesman and relieved me of most of the contents of my wallet!

Kevin's exotic garden is only 2.5 years old, and already looking like its always been there, which pleased my wife as our reason for creating a "Jungle" was to have a part of the garden ready quickly, without having to wait 10 years for hedges to grow, then plant the "rooms", then wait for them to mature ...

 

walked to P.O. and found beautiful discarded double fuchsia in hedge ,still with soil attached so potted and having a long drink.

This is a picture of the discarded fuchsia found july 25th,think its a trailer
