Love reading your blog James. Glad you started again and foot is healed.
Do we get pictures? I am hopeless at visualizing from a description
Do you have a particular area you are planting the anemones? They disappear completely when they've finished and it is so hard to tell if you have disturbed them because the knobbly little brown bulbs, rhizomes...whatever they are called....look just like a lump of dirt! I think I have killed a fair few over the years so make sure you remember exactly where you put them.
Ok here is a tour of my garden to date let's see how much I can do in a month
baskets still doing well
Think this has tobe the star in my garden because when it arrived it was so so poorly I don't no if it will have time to flower before the first frost but we will have to see Hellium
Small raised bed with my new Hosta's and the koi gemi also mint and chives
New bench home made ready for greenhouse two more to make
I love sitting hear with a coffee/wine/beer with my springer fence has stopped for now waitting for some more wood
Confrey doing well
greenhouse and some of my pots and o'yes a bag of ivy as you can see still a lot of ivy to go BUT I only get the wife's car once a week if I'm lucky to get rid of garden waist (only a fool) would go to the tip at the weekend as it's packed solid all weekend
This is one area were a new flowwer bed is going and compost/coldframe is going
can you see the bamboo xmass tree yes it has lights (green) that come on at night just something I make last year LOL
MORE garden waist
I now it's bland but had clay under that slate and full sun all day plus the wife uses it as parking that'
The rest of the post has gone (my of died when I wasn't looking Bloody jack frost LOL)
anyway here is the rest of the tour
New pots for spring bulbs
Compost I think I've spent £100.00 on pots and compost this week O'well it should look nice when the spring comes
This has to be my bargain of the year £5.00 for a 17.50 hanging basket so I bought two as my other one had seen better day all out of shape and mould was spotter in the winter/spring
second place where I'm going to add a new flower bed this winter I have many plants and seed/bulbs ready to go into it. I will be moving the seat back into the corner and adding some stepping stone's with two pots to the side of bench and then flower bed. These tree have been trimed this year as I nearly lost a eye cutting the grass
well going for a coffee in my fav place to plan roast beef for 12 people my wife love to cook OK I do the cooking and she just invitest friends and family over for meals
Hope you enjoyed the tour of my little garden watch it grow with me over the year
still have lots to do but I'm really enjoying my self I have hoped to do lots today and tomorrow but with friends coming it's only going to be tomorrow
I would like to thank you all for the comments I'm really thrilled that at last I've got some response I'm clueless but with your help I will get there
Enjoyed reading this, although if you are inclined to take suggestions, i would say you should start it/transfer to it to one fo the free blog sites, blogger.com or wordpress.
It makes it much easy to read and navigate, it doesnt cost anything and is very easy to setup.
You could then link it in this post each week to let people know its been updated, given all the issues with pictures and navigation on this forum i think it will stand the test of time better without links/pictures disapearing.
Hello CluelessGardener Please do not stop blog as I am a stalker enjoy and learn from you and others but do not contribute. Thanks to everyone else for the enjoyment and info I have had. Especially on a rainy miserable day here in Ips. Did have a window and went out dead heading. Greedy want flowers as long as possible.

Good morning James, I have only just started reading your blogs and have thoughly enjoyed it.
We also have a dog who thinks anything green is just for him to use as a toilet!! They are delightful but as you we wouldn't be without him.
You have managed an amazing amount so far considering you have not had the best of luck health wise.
Keep it up it's a great read.
That looks fabulous x Don't let a lack of comments put you off, some people like to stalk threads and follow without making comments
I think CluelessGardener is a bit of a misnomer!
Certainly not clueless James, but don't change your name, I get lost when people do that
In the sticks near Peterborough
I would like to thank you all for the comments I'm really thrilled that at last I've got some response I'm clueless but with your help I will get there
