garden maintenanceRe: garden maintenanceIt rained then got so cold we have had hard frosts, plus I then went to London and only got back today, so not been posting. Also not done anything in the garden to post about. Got a dental appointment tomorrow and a meeting on Friday, which needs some preparation, so wont be doing anything till at least Saturday.

Dug over: The heap of roots and rubbish we dug out of it: The finished product; well, almost. Come next autumn, I will be adding bulbs; there is also a space for a tree i9n the corner and I want to add some hostas. Until it grows properly, I will infill with annuals seeds: Chris xx

Re: garden maintenanceYou're working hard! Nice to see pics~
Re: garden maintenanceIt must be so satisfying to see it all planted up. What have you put in?
"Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder..." Thoreau.
Re: garden maintenanceForsythia, Buddleia, Geum, Aquilegia (sp?), lupins, Polyanthus, Spirea, Peonies, Cranesbill, London Pride (some people hate it for some reason; I love it) and a cystus. The last was to replace one that has been our 'friend' for the last 16 years, but the cold winter snows last year finished it off.
I still have to re-seed the lawn edge where things got leggy and spilled over, killing the grass beneath. The tree will be a small laburnum, or a magnolia. I favour the former; Hubby the latter. The plants all look small at the moment. If we are still here in two or three years' time, it will be a different story I expect. Chris xx

Re: garden maintenanceI have finally managed to find a laburnum tree and have just been out to plant it. Then I hoed all the spare space in the flower bed and will sow some annual seeds to fill in the gaps while the shrubs and perennials take off. Hopefully there will be a riot of colour in the summer
