Tidy Gardener , I’ve Montana at the allotment that covers a water cube I give it a real good prune each year and it comes back as rigorous as ever , therefore , why not give it go
I have a huge clematis montana all over it .debating whether or not to get rid of it!in a good year it looks fantastic but last year it barely flowered and looks like twigs a lot of the year!
My neighbours clematis hangs over our fence, once it’s all sticks whether I shear it off or they do it’ll be back a few months later! 😅
When I got in from work, I did a little bit in the garden for around 45 minutes until it started getting dark. I do love the nights when they start getting lighter.
I had a tidy round and repotted a plant that I rescued off the nearly dead shelf this morning. Hopefully I have rescued it in time.
Stuck at home with a poorly boy so managed to get all the grass cut, it was lovely weather for it. Mowed up all remaining perennial trimmings and all my soaked cardboard, all into the compost filling an entire bin hopefully there'll be some good cooking soon
What a day !! Finished mulching a large bed Built a cold frame and filled it full of plants Potted on fennel, geraniums, phlox and some surprise plants (labels lacking again) Planted out 20 pulminaria and 12 hellebores.
It's great to be able to get out in some dry weather even had my youngest boy helping prune the dogwoods (took the end of my thumb off with the secauters, but hey life isn't perfect)
