Sunshine and blue skies


Sagitar

It was such a lovely day yesterday, so when I went out to shop in the morning I put a wide angle lens onto the camera and took a few photos on my route. Nothing special, but it is so good to be able to enjoy the weather and our little Georgian town looks so much better in the sunshine.

Looking good. There's a good mix and flow there. 

 

I need to spend more time in my garden as I enjoy it but don't seem to do much in it for some reason.

 

Actually I'll be doing my front garden soon, just cutting a bit out for the wheelie bins so may ask for some advice on what to plant. Pretty much a blank canvas.

Blimey they are slow growing plants.... Still looks well kept but i wouldn't expect anything less Sagitar.

They are pretty much full grown now Tony. Some of them I trim after they have finished flowering, but they were all chosen for their limited size and for their easy care character. I've put a lot of top dressing around them during the year and have fed them with slow feed fertiliser (fish, blood and bone). Slugs are a bit of a problem but I fight them with nematodes and I think I'm winning. Airborne weed seeds are a pain but I try to pull them while they are still small.

The soil is very light (we are on the greensand ridge) so the plants were also chosen for their ability to live without much water. We really could do with some rain at the moment.

Knowing what your doing helps..... Green fingers i haven't got unless i want to grow some Triffids.. Your right though rain is hardly in abundance so far this year so you planted wisely.

That's looking really nice, you definitely have green fingers :)

 

We have trouble keeping flowers and plants going in pots, never mind a whole garden full. We had an infestation of caterpillar type bugs eating a small rose bush last year and a small conifer turned brown. This year there are bugs eating another rose bush so I think we need some of the rose clear.
