Gardening
I have n’t quite got around to writing this post until now , but the pic were direct at the end of October .
Rear Garden
The Patio Border – I got impatient waiting for Jack Frost so I cut back many of the more untidy looking perennial and remove the cosmos and any other yearly . Things bet significantly more simple as a result . This has given me the chance to establish several clumps of daffodils of various flavours . We shall see the benefit of this in the leap . In here I will also plant some of the 200 alliums I have stashed in the greenhouse .
The gay Border – I ’ve cut down back all the bedding dahlias , removed any scrappy annuals . Some daffs have gone in , and alliums postdate them in a couple of months .
The Wisteria Border , incorporating the Eye of Sauron . The sit down area has become seeable again , I ’ve cut nearly everything back . The persicaria is still going strong . It ’s a good garden plant that , quite well behave and flowers for months . A recurring theme , some Narcissus pseudonarcissus have gone into gaps , and I intend to plant plenty of genus Allium in here . I have a couple of other plant that could go in this moulding . As I ’ve enounce before , the original border needs a re - remember , I ’ll do that once everything is cleared out / cut back back .
The Lilac Border – I ’ve planted a few thing in here to fill it out a bit , so it does look a bite busier . Whether they were good plants and in expert combinations is another question , we ’ll have to wait till next class to see how it all meet out .
The Shady Border – I have had some thoughts about the two gap . I ’ve bought a few biggish fern which I ’ll plant life in here , they should take out nicely and provide some good grain . I also have a few mile - a - mo clematis rise from cut that should be happy on a umbrageous fence and will quickly cover it , which should make thing seem a morsel less unfinished . The dogwood is look a bit badly , it has not been good this year , I do n’t know why . What would normally be a mass of bare bolshie stem up to 12′ high is much more sparse and a lot short . Perhaps it has reach out the end of its ledge life
.
The Hibiscus Border – The sprawly geraniums , Helenium and rudbeckia have all ben cut back , so all looking a bit mere now .
The Side passing
Front Garden
I have begin a tidy up in here , and have planted medulla , but many things are still looking sound since we ’ve been near - enough Robert Lee Frost barren so I ’ve left them be . The Mina Lobata on the fence blood line in particular has been fab , more of that next year . I have plenty of seeds for annual climber that I hope will cover the whole fence next year . On the pavement side of my front rampart I have planted more daffodils and some geraniums for ground cover and floral interest . I ’m still well-chosen with the front garden , and will plant a clump more alliums in here too .
That ’s it for October .
I ’ll be back next calendar month with another Border Patrol .
