#34 - Floral Tribute with mostly garden foliage

 

This was halfway through putting the arrangement together for our roses loving Uncle.

Foliage and Nigella seed heads from the garden along with Waitrose Freesias and Stocks in white and Lilac.  I love Gysophilia, and luckily it came with the Freesias.

The Japanese red Acer formed the bottom ring, which was based on a 23cm wet foam, and then further rounds had Nigella seed heads, Grevillia and Hebe tips and other random shrub’ige from the garden. 

It was late on the Sunday, so I sprayed it down and then added in more stocks and roses early on the Monday, then it was packed in the car with damp towels and ice blocks.

I also added a Manila tag that with a sewing machine in a free hand way and a spare bias binding seven ribbon in black that was pinned in with large pearl headed pins.  I had so many lovely compliments from family and friends, and I believe it was taken home by our cousin.

I could kick myself that I didn’t take a finished photograph, but you get the idea.

The floristry courses at Hadlow College have certainly paid off over the years, and save us a fortune in florists fees.  The only one I have paid for recently was for my cousin, and that was because she lives 4 hours away.

What is clear though, is that I need man6 more choices of shrubs to pull from, and definitely the main staple, Eucalyptus.

#33 - New home for Claire, Amanda and Kathie

 

What do you do when you have too many unruly orchids?

Well, you put them in a new tin pot.

I’m sure I’m not the only person that names their plants, and this trio of beauties are named after some of my friends.  Like them, they are wild and playful, and romp all over the place,  ut there was an accident with of them the other day, and it was therefore time to group them in a pit rather than in their separate plastic pots.

Unfortunately, during the move to their new home one of the stunning bloom stalks broke, but they are now happily settled in new bark and moss in the tin basket that I saw the other day, and could not get off my mind.  So, we went back and snagged it today.  Good luck smiled on the girlies, and because it was ex display was a bargain.

We now have room to breath on the window sills, but I am on the look out for another slightly smaller tin container for the other ones.

Orchids are. Bit of a problem for me, please don’t send help!

#32 - I’m going to chime in ...

 We re dived a gift yesterday for a special event

They make a fabulous thinking sound, and I love the Gaia Tree of Life motive.

They are by Flamboya and are 92 cm in length cLled Chorus Chimes Tree of Life Windchime.

I am off in search of a sun shade, are they called cantilevered?

#31 - Houston we have a problem ...

 

It is way too hot to garden, and it is not much better in doors with countless fans on the go.  

I’m not going out until it is much cooler later on, and we will eat in the garden, the problem is our candles that go on the bistro table are having a issue, and bunny is afraid they may fall on him.

Stay cool and hydrated.

#30 - A little light work

 I forgot to post the details of the Solar Rattan Weave Effect String Lights, £8.99 from The Range

That have been installed on the Shed, unfortunately I underestimated the length and need to go and pick up another string.

The 21.m solar 200 LED Micro String Light £9.99, also from The Range.  We’ve strung them in a random pattern on the new trellis by the side gate.

Both sets look really pretty, and I love the look after dark, so we will be adding solar light in other spots.

Stay cool and hydrated.

Record Keeping - it won’t mean much to anyone else

 Side rear boundary before removal of hedge

... and during root removal

#29 - Potty about volunteering

 I decided to pull the volunteer potato plants from the sweet corn bed.  They were never in this area of the garden, and so must therefore be self-seeded.  I think they are either. Charlotte or Desiree.  In any event they had pale lilac scented flowers.

We gathered 3.3 kilograms, which is pretty awesome for a free plant.

My actual planted tubers  (Charlotte) are well on their way, and fingers crossed they do so well.  In any event these are a nice piece of compensation for the unmitigated disaster of the winter harvest ... all 13 bags ... that failed due to blight and deprived us of homegrown new potatoes at Christmas lunch.

#28 - New gate and fence to the front today

Our eldest kid is installing a new fence and gate to the front side of the property today, so there is a lot of drilling and holes.  It will be lovely when it’s done, and I am so lucky he had some time to get this done.  If it looks as nice as the rear gate I will be very happy.  The weather has been horrible for the last drew days, and so I will paint it when it’s up.  Actually,  is easier to do that way.  It is another step forward in the garden’s evolution.

I do have to paint the boundary fence panels for the rear, at least on the side that is facing our neighbour.  There is no obligation to give them the nice side of the fence, but it is the decent thing to do, plus if I had the rails our side and we can install tension wires for more climbing plants.  I dug up the Bergenia plants, and will pop them somewhere else, as I don’t think there will be sufficient space for them to be happy without me taking up some of the path.  The arches on the path will need a bit of attention, as they are not completely stable due to the rocky nature of the soil in that part of the garden.  I think the solution will be to lay down some sleepers on a level base and then drill holes and screw the legs in, or perhaps use epoxy.  The darling one is always brilliant at coming up with solutions on our sloping in all directions site.

Talking of evolution, eldest kid is also going to install my pergola for the pew I had as a birthday present two years ago.  It sits up near the arches, but is in full sun.  This is not ideal, and so we will take the opportunity to build it  a little home of its own where it can look up towards the arches and Hebe garden.  I could not find a suitable off the peg one, and so as designing a bespoke one.

The only thing is there is an awful lot to dig out, to level off and then retain with a sleeper wall, but the view should be really pretty towards where the pew is in the photo above.  There will be new fencing, notch’s general view of my neighbour’s s ants on the washing line, covered in clematis and jasmine. Plus there will be a small rose bed in to the bottom of the Hebe garden, where the wire gabion is sitting at the moment ... or where you can see a green plastic compost bag in it.

#26 - Sweet violets

 … I love them and this beauty was snapped up Some weeks ago from Thorpe’s Nursery … and no, I am not sponsored by them!

This is Viola ‘Rebecca’ and she is and two of her sisters are filling my whole garden with delicious scent that is mailing with the scent from the roses.  Our garden is so open that this is quite a task considering how tiny they are. Four to eight inches 4 by 8 inches in height and spread, and flowering in later Spring to early Autumn.  They like moist, but well drained soil.  Their beautiful creamy-white, mauve-streaked pansy like flowers with clumps of dar green, heart-shaped leaves make me imagine it would be a perfect outfit for any tiny fairies in the garden.

An alpine, they are suitable for borders and path edging, rockeries, gravel gardens and containers, which is where they are planted in an old Butler sink that we un-earned from the top Hebe Garden covered in mud, weeds and junk.  It’s heavy it took two burly men and me to move it the 30 feet to sit in the raised brick patio.

I need more Viola in my life.

#25 - 613 seeds of hope

Why that title?  

Well, the Pomegranate has 613 seeds.

Even though I have not been hunting Unicorns, I have finally got around to planting the one we bought months ago from Thorpe Nursery in Horam.  I am pretty sure they had one or two left when I was in there last weekend.

Punica granatum ‘Dente di Cavallo’ is her Latin name, and she has been planted  in one of a pair of blue glazed pots that the darling one won in a raffle shot he year we married , so they have lasted a longtime and look as good as new.Apart from a small white label that I cannot get off, and had never noticed until today.

Self-pollinating edible super fruit, and delicious to boot in August/September, and pruned in March/April.  It can be planted in full sun or partial shade and should be reasonably hardy in Winter, although we will move her to a sheltered position and wrap in fleece just in case I think.

This variety is a container one, and I do not think it is fast growing.  There is no height or spread on the label, but Pomegranates in the Mediterranean grow into fabulous and attractive trees.

They are a truly blessed thing that we are incredibly lucky to have picked.

#24 - Reflecting on the new side fence

 

I was just flicking through my stored photos and realised that I had not shred the progress on the side gate/fence area … so here we are.

I obviously have more work to do, but the post holes have been filled in.  They will no doubt settle a bit, but there’s sufficient spoil to deal with that on the plot.

The screening on the back of the trellis was a bit thin one side, so we re-purposed an old mirror from the upper hall that was moved in - the darling one painted it in the Valspar Afternoon Nap green.  The other three shaped mirrors were a random inexpensive purchase from The Range years ago that had never been utilised anywhere, and so we includ3 them (they are plastic frames).

The plan is to re-use an old bird bath in this area, which is a work in progress:

It is certainly not what one would class as a looker, but will do just fine in that corner.  Since taking this photo I’ve added further high and low lights with eco ink, and the bowl portion has been sealed with clear varnish.  I am now going to go over both the bird path and the concrete paving slab with further paint mixed it’s compost for texture.  In the end it shouldn’t look too bad when the planting goes around it, plus it has avoided landfill and will the bids somewhere to drink.  For a little bit of sweat equity is will be a win all around.

My next post will be another area with the same ethos.

#23 - Random Seed Casting in the Hebe Garden

This post should be avoided if you are a traditionalist, or of a nervous disposition.  I highly recommend that you do you, and take no notice of the madcap things that I do like the following.  There is no guarantee that it will work, but I like to live on the edge.

I have so many packets of seeds, and not enough time, or indeed places to sow them all that I decided to take a different approach and view in that it was kinder to give them a chance of life if I simply broad cast the seed and see what Mother Gaia gifted me.

So to the Hebe Garden (it is the bed top right of the garden in which I planted a Hebe hedge hence the name)  I trotted with my folder and threw out the contents of the following packets.

; 

Larkspur (Delphinim Consolida) 'Cannes White' - Hardy Annual - Seeds from Plants of Distinction - Cutting flower but attractive to slugs though; makes good confetti when the flowers are dried - Sow in January/April and August/September (clearly, I am ignoring that!)

Pot Marigold (Calendula Officinalis) 'Calexis Mixed) - Hardy Annual - Plants of Distinction NB: link and photo are for 'Galaxy Mixed' as their code for my packet 1219B is no longer available on their website, so this is just to give you .. and me if they germinate ... a helping hand and guide to what to expect. Sow May/September likely to flower in May/October.  Fantastic for infusing in oil to make lotions and potions.

Antirrhinum 'Potomac Ivory White F1' - Half-hardy Annual - Plants of Distinction - Sow February/May - ignoring that and hoping for an Indian Summer - should usually be ready I think about 10 weeks after sowing for platting out.

Larkspur (Delphinium Elatum) 'Double Stars' - Plants of Distinction - Likely to be a slug magnet and dries well for confetti. - Hardy Perennial - Sow January/April, August/September flowering May to September.

Lupin (Lupinus Polyphyullus) 'Summer Carnival' - Plants of Distinction - I would love this to pay off, if not just for these beauties. - Perennial - Sow January/June and August/September. Flowers June to August.  If you do this properly, you would transplant in the garden when the pots are full of root.

As an aside, my 'Russell Mixed lupins sewn earlier in the year are doing very well.  Actually, so well that I have given some away to my darling mother-in-law and also to one of my lovely neighbours.  I am desperate to get the bed dug over by the new side fence - my son is hopefully going to fill in the post holes for me at the weekend to save me some heavy work).  My neighbour came over to pick up her Lupins as said she loved my garden.  Although, I am not sure if she had already hit the sherry bottle because there is to my eye so much wrong with it, with way too many areas yet to do, weed, blah blah blah.   Bless her for saying it, it gave me a boost.

Some seedlings labelled up Shasta Daisy were slung in the white butler sink late last summer after the temporary greenhouse was shaken up in a storm and the seedlings landed in a heap.  They have long been on my radar to move, but it only just dawned on Hebe Garden also.  Managed to finally get my potatoes in - will post about that struggle separately, and helped my son pot up his Torbay Palm (Cordyline Australis) that he rescued (with the permission of the garden owner of course) from a garden he was working on.

Ohh and just because I have zero to sub-zero control, I also have a purchase, and other things on my radar that are proving difficult to forget from the nursery trip yesterday.

Let's take a break there peeps, I threw more down, but will cover those in a further post, and then try to keep you updated as we do along.  I think if any of the Larkspur come through and I get to them before the slugs, I might dig them up and place in pots to keep an eye of them.

#22 - Two heavy days in the garden

 

For a long time we’ve been keen to have Blueberries in the garden, especially as we spend a small fortune buying frozen ones each week for porridge.

So this week the darling one built me a new two board high raised bed whilst I popped out to pick up the compost.  I stuck lucky too, as Thorepe’s had some decent looking  Blueberries in.

Whilst there I picked up some meterage of pest netting, and we knocked this up to house up from a re-purposed temporary greenhouse frame.

It’s difficult to see, but the mesh is in place and secured at each side, and we have to go back in tomorrow and close off the end nearest the fence, and devise an opening at the front that can be rolled up for weeding etc.

Cauliflower on either side of it is maximising the growing space ... hopefully, as we are not that sure how they will cope with the acidity of the bed ... so, its wait and see how fussy they are.

The battening will be painted once the mesh is in place.

I did make a bit of an error, and accidentally purchased two of the same variety, which has just meant that more will have to follow to maximise pollination.  Ideally, three varieties are ideal.

This one is Vaccinium Cor. ‘Brigitte Blue’.  Flowers in spring and crops in Summer/Autumn.  Grows to circa 200 cm height and spread. Pruning should take place November to February.  Full sun or part shad in a sheltered position.  If growing in a container protection over winter would be a good idea.  

We also have a small temporary greenhouse, which the darling one has started to build a frame for, as it tends to topple over, do more on that soon.

I’ve been painting the old bird bath, and am currently waiting for the clear sealer in the bowl to dry ready for a second coat, which is fine as I still have to fill in the fence posts holds and dig over the bed by the side gate bed before it can go in place.  So far this weekend, we’ve spent about seven hours each day working on projects.  Oh, and I finished emptying the Big Boy Hotbin, and Guy gave me a hand to re-site it.  Although, it has only moved about five feet.  The nice thing about its new position is that is is mostly screened by the apple tree and willow, and is now much higher up so that I can easily drain off the liquid without have to fiddle around with a garden scoop each time.

Last night we were too tired to eat dinner, but stopped today just short of exhaustion to have a rest before cooking dinner.

Now to make plans for jobs tomorrow ...

#21 - new raised bed

 From this …

To this …

I’ve planted up with Rummer Beans at the back, and Salad Onions in the front.

Then yesterday I found a little rusted bird ornament to sit on the top bar, and round balls for each upright.  I’d take a photo of them, but is is pouring and we have a thunder storm kicking off.  

The balls aren’t fitted yet, and I think they might get a coat of Valspar Blanc de Blances (as per the shed door). The bed itself is painted in Blue Stain and I am going to repaint in Ducksback Forest Green, and the uprights and top bar have been painted in Forest Green, so the Blanc balls will be a nice contrast.

I am super lucky that he Darling Husband  builds these beds for me, but he out did himself with the bean support on this one.  There are a whole stack of gravel boards waiting for him to build me more, and I have to say that I quite like these climbing supports, so he may well add them to the bed on the opposite side of the shed, I think that they were made out of shuttering boards from when the shed base went in.

I also found a lovely wind chime in Home Sense, which has a nice tinkle, but it’s painted black with a weird symbol on the sail.  It has been put on the black rose arch for the time being.  Probably it will get the same Valspar Blanc on both the “hat” and sail, and I’ll cut out a vinyl flower on the Cricut Machine.

#20 - Deadnettle ... mundane name for a nice plant

 

I mentioned this plant in passing on yesterday's post.  This one is destined for the raised  bed near the new side gate.

It has such a mundane name, Deadnettle, but is in fact a sweet little filler plant in this garden.  I have several different ones, but this is a new addition Lamium Maculatum 'Cannon's Gold'.  I purchased it from one my favourite plant habit addiction centres, Thorpe Gardens at Horam.   I was about to tell you that they don't have a website, but do have a Facebook presence, but am delighted to say that they have now got one HERE.  I could not see any Lamium on their plant inventory, but they had a lote of them, and most of my other ones also came from there.

Thorpe's are always offer a friendly welcome, have a reasonable selection of plants and a wealth of knowledge.  I unfortunately can be found there a lot!

The leaves delicate and lime gold in colour, being edge in green.  Semi-evergreen in nature it will form a carpet with whorls of long-lasting magenta flowers in this case and will really light up the underneath of a shrub, or as I plan to use it around the base of a pot.  Height is around 6 inches or so, depending on which variety you go for.

It is easy to propagate, hence why just the one.  All I do is just hack off a bit and stuff it in a new location.  Just as long as it is well-watered for a while, it will be fine.

I also have a green and silver one near the arches through to the top bed, and a run of the mill one in the raised beds, so I think you will get a sense that I like them.  I believe that there is also a green/white variegated one skulking in the side garden the other side of the new gate, which has been there on and off since we moved in.

The only downside is that they have a slight, and only slight, not unpleasant, but weird smell if you brush against it.  It is smoky almost ... don't judge, but is a bit like sniffing a recycled black bin liner.  NOT that I do that on purpose.  Oh dear, that statement makes it seem that I have a problem with doing that, butI don't want you to suspect I might actually do that!  I need to stop it's just getting stranger.

Please do not be put off by that strange paragraph above, it is not a problem smell and definitely should not be considered a drawback to considering it.

#19 - Second shift today - hold on to your hats as it has turned into a long ramble ....

 I started work early this morning very early, 7.am early in fact to beat the heat, as it gets very warm on the top bed.

I started off by lifting up the board between the bark path and the boarder edge under the arches.  The pile of weeds was just one of many, and need to a bulk bag to go to the tip, as the usual Brown Bin collection is delayed due to a local authority strike - it's not going great for them at the moment.

Then moved on to weeding more of the bed ready to transplant about 12 or so Foxgloves from the raised beds that had self-seeded last year.

The next photos are just here for safekeeping, so please ignore it, or enjoy the half trimmed hedge, which is our rear boundary (not the boundary for the tenant at the rear to trim), which is what happened last week.  We had purposefully left it long whilst the hedging of Laurel and Viburnam Tinus grew up.  Of more importance,  its bird nesting season and so they had no business cutting it for that reason, let alone that it does not belong to their property.  I have been in contact with the local authority as it is a social housing tenant, and need to send them some photos, so in case I accidentally delete it from my device.

You can see the line where I stopped them, I have no idea what was going through their heads as they know full well that the boundary belongs to us. It is not that in the appropriate season I would necessarily have objected to a height prune, but would have liked the option to control what was taken off.  Obviously, there are no objections to them trimming the face of the hedge their side, but the height is definitely not in their gift with out prior agreement from us.  

As Bird Nesting is from March to end of August (better September) in the UK there would have been plenty of time to organise permission from us.  Actually, the contractor they used got a sharp talking to about being aware of Bird Nesting and boundary ownership before starting work.  Our son is a Fencing and Garden Maintenance Contractor, and I know that he always checks, and is right up there on bird nesting legislation.

There is no point in being low frequency and angry about it, as I am realistic enough to realise that the vegetation cannot be glued back on, but the Warden is go have a word with them about their behaviour and remind them of the correct procedure etc.

Anyway, on to nicer things.  Monday is Top Bed day and it is now looking a bit better, with first pass weeding of most of it, and second pass weeding of some of the area done at the weekend.  

The eagle-eyed of you will have spotted the wheelbarrow full of my efforts and the big pile next to it.  Lots of Buttercup, Dock Geum and the grass that shall not be named.

What a joy the emerging gloves provide, they always remind me of Beatrix Potter and Jemima Puddleduck illustrations from childhood..  The perfect and quintessential cottage garden.

Indeed, I  made such good progress that some Foxgloves were also moved from the raised beds, well before at 8.30 and I stopped for breakfast, and are now snuggled in with their new bedfellows. Who have lovely blooms just forming.  There is a Robinia and a Grevillea (I think it is called) that need to be moved out to new beds.  Iris plants that need to move in, along with about 12 Shasta Daisy plants I raised from seed last year, and some other large clump forming Daisy plants that came from Mother in Law's beautiful garden.  So the area will be quite full when it is finished.  At the moment it has just tipped over from an area of shame to on the verge of being really quite lovely.

After breakfast and a well-earned rest I sallied forth again, as I’m repairing the stone wall by the gate (to retain soil mostly), and I can then plant up with Lobelia. and golden Lamium.

 I also moved a bit more compost from the old bin site into its new location.  It is dirty work, but somebody has to do it, and somebody is me!

The Big Boy Hot Bin is still pending a move, but it is not a single-handed task.

The fence is looking good in the Cuprinol Ducksback in  Forest Green looks great on the fence.  We painted the other side yesterday, and that is also looking mighty fine. It's a bargain at the moment from Wickes at £8 per 5L pot.

#18 - One out of four and the big boy

 

Compost Bins that is.

Yesterday I managed to lift off the plastic compost bin, and re-locate it to the side of the willow, there are three more to also move, hopefully, before the weekend.  Then darling Husband can give me a hand to move the big boy Hot Bin over as well - that folks is going to be a task and a half, but I really don’t want this working area to be as discreet as possible.

I also made a start digging over the bed in front of the new fencing, but called a halt after scraping off some of the carefully back-filled Earth done by the eldest kid as the bottom panel, and more importantly the gravel board need to be painted.

If it stays dry this evening the darling one will paint it for me, if not that will be tomorrow’s job, as I still need to top off and backfill the wall with large stones so that I can start to plant up.

The Cotinus in the pot is auditioning, if it stays there it will probably go further back, but nevertheless it needs a home somewhere.  That is definitely the problem with being a plantaholic, a new home for something or other is always required.

Having ground to a halt here, I moved on to weeding the top bed, which has expanded massively, but was sadly neglected last year.  Plenty of the grass that shall not be named, Dandelion and Buttercup to pull.  It’s a behemoth of a task.

I know there should be no shame in the garden game, but it is not looking good, or at least, it’s looking better than it did.  A rock is marking the spot where a small water feature is going, and so I will have to work around that as a Buddleja has self-seeded at the back, and needs to come into the sun.  There are a couple other inappropriately placed shrubs to move.  I have enough Shasta Daisy plants to sink a small ship, which are desperate to go somewhere, so expect to see at least three there.

I need to watch my time outside today, as I managed around over 4 hours yesterday, and over did it a bit.  The problem is I forget the time.

#17 - You could of heard me belting out a tune this morning

 CeCe Penistan would be livid too.  ‘Finally, uts happened to me, right in front of my eyes’ ...

It’s the small things that make me ridiculously happy, or in this case a large thing that has taken its blasted time to being nursed and tended from inauspicious beginnings.

Meet my one and only Aquilegia (currently), with the variety lost in time, that was rescued a few years ago from an overturned seed tray deep that had been blown over in a storm and the rest of its seedlings perished.  

It has been nurtured, and also nearly bitten the dust a few times, but despite all the odds is now this beautiful specimen, and looks like it will be cream or pale yellow.  I can’t wIt for it to fully bloom.

Judging by the slowness of my recently sown seedlings, Aquilegia might be slow growing, so you could end up for a two or three year break before there is this level of enthusiasm seeping through the screen, because when all8# said and done, it one of my favourite perennials, and a cottage garden staple.

#16 - A good day of work

 … and the new gate and fencing at the side rear has been done ...

It’s a difficult area  to work with as the bank is a lot steeper than it looks and has a camber  A huge rambling rose had to be cut back hard to install the Reed fence panel, which left a gaping hole in the boundary fence and hedge too, so a short term solution is the Reed screen, by the time it’s worn out the Laurel will be much bigger.  It looks distressingly small in this picture, but is in fact larger than it appears. I am rubbish at photography!

We have been debating a triangular trellis atop the fence panel, doubt will no doubt kick the idea back and forth for some time until the right solution is found.  

There is still plenty of work to do, like painting it all, which begun this afternoon when there was not a cloud in the sky, but has been halted by patches of spitting rain. Isn’t it always the way?

An unknown animal has already damaged the corner of the Reed, and so we have had to come up with a solution to stop it from creating a bigger hole … honestly, it could have just gone around and behind the screening rather than create a somewhat cartoonish hole in it.  We clearly need to have a chat.

This morning a few plants hopped in the car from the Nursery at Horam, some for this area, vegetables for some of the raised beds and  a nice tray of container plants for outside the front door,  it more on that over the next few updates, one in particular is really exciting.

For the rest of the week it is more weeding elsewhere in the garden and ground preparation in this area before the planting  can begin.

Hugs

Kay

PS:  Supplier of fencing, posts and gate was Tate Fencing and installation was down by eldest kid and my darling Husband.  The kid despatched a good amount of old tree roots, and the most god awful grass in vast numbers that just spreads everywhere,  I am not going to dignify it with a botanical name, as it most definitely does not deserve one.

#15 - The beginning of a flower arranger’s garden

 The most darling white Clematis with Azalea, and citrus lemon/green foliage used from the garden combined with a sweet bouquet from my lovely neighbour.

I have lots of staple plants planned for my new space, as you can never have enough flowers in the house.
