    Charlie November:

    I didn't see you either.  (Or maybe I did, but you didn't look the way I'd expect ...)  Different village, perhaps?  image

    I had a lovely afternoon potting up campanulas, dianthus, pulmonarias, hellebores etc, then admiring the spring flowers which have opened since I was last in the garden, and the bees and butterflies visiting them.  More tomorrow...  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Planted clematis and foxgloves, attacked Jap Anem with glysophate and tidied up a scruffy bit of the garden where I do my potting up.

    Lovely sunny day in Brum. Reduce a ttee stump (what a workout) and not really gardening in my book,. Got a great deal of satisfaction out of this because I was doing this work for my nephews who have moved in to a new house. They have suggested I produce them a garden that presently consist of a lawn that is 4m x 8m 

    happy days

    I did some brick mining, just one bucket full today, and dug up some stinging nettles. Planted some thalictrums rescued from certain death in a nettle patch. Moved some non flowering Anemone nemorosa to place more likely to please. Planted seed raised ragged robins and hope the chosen site is not too dry. 

    Another gardening day tomorrowimage

    So I started this morning deciding how much space my baby Yucca will end up needing, then to more industrious projects...

    • moved three shrubs and one fern
    • built hosta bed and levelled it in position
    • moved and replanted penstemon x5
    • planted out two more clumps of Liatris to make a three
    • added clumps of chives
    • gritted to defend against slugs and snails
    • mulched
    • watered many many pots

    You've been busy again Wintersong.  Moving plants around again I see.image Mine have all stayed in the same place today.image

    Mulched and fed perennial pots

    Potted up a load of baby pelargoniums, verbena, diascia and chrysanthemums. 

    Planted Liriope Gold Bank and Royal Purple, Geranium Brookside, Tiarella Pink Skyrocket and Aquilegia Munstead White. Wonder if they will stay where I've put themimage
