So, what have I managed to get done this week??
I bought some Cyclamen to go in a pot by the front door, loads of bulbs were then buried beneath – probably too many, but what the heck, I need to use them up!
I also bought a nice hanging basket for the bracket by the front door too, it has some lovely cheerful little violas in it, and as it was reduced, I again thought what the heck and went for it rather than ripping everything out of the one there already and putting new plants in. All it needed was some dead-heading and it’ll be fine, I look forward to seeing its cheery little face through the Autumn and Winter.
I tidied some of the garden, but it was wet, I now have some wellies though so will be itching to get out next weekend (unless I manage to tomorrow, unsure yet).
I bought some grit to put in the soil as I turn it to help with drainage, there was only one bag left though, so it’s not going to spread far!
I now need to work on the pots in the back, as some must be 4 years old now; they need ripping out and new plants/compost putting in. I need to divide a dicentra and a primula and I’ll also probably plant lots of bulbs beneath them too. I just need to buy some more viola/pansy/cyclamen to plant in them to give some colour.
No Waxwing sightings yet, perhaps I’ll see some on the way into work next week! Hahaha, I can dream!
Sorry, I’m running out of nice images to post for you all and since there’s very little left to photograph I’m resorting to old images…
