Jobs for Autumn

Choose some border color. Does anyone have any ideas other than pansies?


Plant Joan of Arc crocus bulbs in the lawn.

Move fuschia bush away from the camelia shrub - so both can breath.


Move grape hyacinth bulbs that have gone crazy, away from the path edge to higher up the bank. Hopefully for a more even spread. I think the purple blue will look nice with the Red Riding Hood Tulips too.

Move the pretty yellow variegated ivy from under the fuschia bushes to a more visible spot.

SEPTEMBER SUNFLOWERS THAT DID WELL ON THE NORTH WALL

Lizzie gets busy!

The geraniums in the stone well cum planter were all killed off by 'Feb 2nd 'Snow Day'. Some may have returned from the roots and short stems but frankly I enjoyed ripping them out. Pruning and cutting back is very therapeutic, even if you're not an overtly angry person it helps. Trust me.

So I have planted a mixture that hopefully will be a riot of pinks and reds, a coup of colour: upright Fuschia in the well centre, trailing fuschia for longterm and scarlet busy lizzies for this season's colour.

I hope lizzie gets busy soon as I'm excited to see how well she goes.
