Some of my tubs and pots lined up ready for some attention . I really need to get those Irises in the ground , but we can't agree on where they should go and so in their pots they shall remain .
I need to replace the Carnivorous plant that didn't make it through the winter , it was in the middle , the star of the show and I'm gutted to have lost it . . . I have put it to one side and am still hoping it might put up a shoot for me , but sigh ...anyway , I have lots of other little sweeties in here ....Irish Moss ...artimesia ...sempervivums ...saxifragas .
I need to refresh the compost and get some nice horticultural grit to set them all off .
There is one of my rose cuttings for you ! Lol , Sue was asking what method I used to take rose cuttings and in all honesty I don't have a "method" as such ....but more of a "way" . In the rainy old Autumn , I just take a non-flowering shoot , pull off the lower leaves and just stick it into any one of my tubs or pots outside and forget about them over Winter . And in good old Blue Peter fashion " Here's one I did earlier !"
I always forget where I got the cuttings from !
How do you "do" your Rose cuttings ? I'd be interested to know .
Anyway .... this morning we have another problem .....
Someone squeezed their way under the chicken-wire ......
.......and nibbled the tops off every single one of my leeks !
....... also nibbled my really special dinner-plate Dahlias !
.....................was it you ? !There were about six seeds altogether , I'm going to put some horticultural grit over the top of this pot and they should germinate fairly quickly .
And as Veltheimia bracteata is nodding off , so my Bowiea volubilis is waking up ! So now I will have to think about making some sort of a trellis for it to scrabble upon .
The courgettes are coming ! I'm thinking cheesy courgette layer bake for lunch !
It's all Go ! Go ! Go ! now in the garden !
Have a great week everyone ! 🌤️
We don't have any rabbits here, but the pigeons are a pain. Both my tomato and cucumber plants are well behind, no chance of a harvest yet.
