What to do next?

tooth op cancelled due to high bp again! and more rain here so not much gardening going on here. just waiting in for all my deliveries.

 

mmm found a little pond opp the playhouse it was covered with foliage. toddler banned from garden untill i can remove it. it is covered and mostly sludge but better safe than sorry.

 

How big is it? Maybe you can just fill with some topsoil and turn it into a bog garden.

 

I'm with Clueless ref. the Roses. I get cut to shreds each year because OH like 'em. I HATE the damn things. Not because I don't like the show, I'm just a Wus when it cones to losing blood.
I think it would be a good idea to move the Daffs (if thats what they are) in front of the Pieris. They are at their best in the Spring and it looks lost hidden like that. It will grow to fill the space. Mine is looking great at the moment.

 

it is only little. i have got some compost to fill it now. maybe when i am a bit more of an experienced gardener i could try some irises etc

 

mmm my "easy arch" has arrived in little bits will have fun putting it together

 

Now the rain has stopped. Here is my Pieris.
I gave it room to breathe and it seems to like it.

 

A builder friend told me about using bleach a few years ago too. I've also discovered some neat bleach on baby dandelions coming up between paviers works better than weedkiller too!

 

thank you very much for taking the time to show me a pic of your pieris. it does look lovely! i am hoping to get out to do some gardening tomorrow am so will move those daffs

 

Thank you very much for the tips on cleaning the patio. will do that

 

on the hunt for a thornless double dark purple rose tonite. will see how i get on

 

OMG I miss read that

ha ha! at least you bring a bit of fun to my boring posts!
will either be ordering cosimo ridolfi rose or cardinal richelu rose both not got many thorns. i hope!

 

Have you thought of zephirine drouhin? Climber, no thorns & lovely scent.

I don't know whether this seller has what you want but I bought two roses in March from an ebay seller in the Orkneys. I ordered them at 1am on Thursday morning, they were delivered at 8.15 on Friday morning, cheapest roses of that type, cheapest p&p and how much faster could you get them? Flown via two airports and 31 hours from his garden to mine. They're full of leaf now and look great.
