Temperatures in the negatives here early this morning between 5 and 9am and feels very nippy now at +3C and falling. Job for tomorrow was to finish replacing the timber on my long raised border but I think cutting back all of the dahlias will now need to be added to the list. If anyone notices a bite taken out of one of those scones it wasn't me, 'onest guv!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Yum yum - thanks. Surreptitiously tapping on my phone whilst waiting for ceremonies to start. Sure the teachers won't notice !!
Verdun - now that you have your mind on grasses - i have three miscanthus types in pots bought in the summer. Am i too late to plant them now? Or should i just sink the pots in the ground, or should i keep in GH??? Many thanks
Had my tea- carry out treat. Actually it wasn't very good!
Can I have a scone too please Dove? I've stripped turf, dug a trench out and mixed the soil with compost and planted more hedge whips. 30 in now. Moved two plants as well
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hello chicky - I bought a miscanthus last week and verdun and others suggested I keep it in the pot and sink it the ground in the pot over winter which I have done. It still looks very nice even though it has been very cold here the last few days. Maybe a GH would be better but I don't have one - see what others say.
My brand new miscanthus is in the GH ( Thanks Verdun). if I could be so bold as to predict verduns reply, I've started so I'll finish, too late to plant out better in spring, bury in soil or keep in GH. Learning aren't I? Either that ir very wrong!
Signing out for most of the weekend, got BILs wedding tomorrow. Early start with hair getting curled and primped up at 8am then the rest of the beautifying ( will take a while!) before we rock up at the hotel for a Pimm's or champagne or whatever the 'in' pre wedding drink is this week! Hoping we will all scrub up well.
So have a good weekend everyone, hope the weathers good enough for you to get in the garden, or bad enough so you can snuggle indoors with a hot tipple.
