    Herbs- good news

    I’ve just finished weeding them through again. The death toll is not as bad as I thought. There’s life at the base of the bronze fennel, and the curry plant, both of which I thought had had it. I have lost a venerable sage, which I’ll have to replace, since it’s one I use ...

    Weeding is my middle name

    But it’s quite good because it’s building the base for the summer to come. That’s two glorious days in a row. And i got the car roof down. Sit Ootery garden done. I’m away to update my plantings lists and order some miniature alpines

    Rockery

    Rockery garden
    I got the whole rockery weeded today and generally tidied up. It does seem to get easier with every passing year. Stuff I thought was dead- mainly a huge potentilla- has come away nicely. There’s a clematis which was nothing but twigs but has green growth at the base. Planted a few more thi...

    Weeded the front steps and planted out my two pyracanthas. Looks like my Sarah raven rose didn’t make it:(

    Warm earth at last

    Got a bunch of stuff planted up today, and weeded out the Little Rockery in between the hail showers. Stuff is beginning to show pretty

    I've now been outside three days in a row..

    Is this a record for 2013? Hell, yes! I did the stuff in the last Journal entry on Sunday; I picked up armfuls of broken branches yesterday, and today I took off the last of last summer’s seed heads. Progress! PS. The snow’s gone (at last)

    Bit of planting done.

    I got a beautiful gifted hellebore, a gifted hornbeam, a new rose from Sarah Raven, a magnolia from Thompson & Morgan, a mystery twig from Thompson & Morgan, and a white flowering currant all planted in amongst the snow showers yesterday. The ground was freezing, so I hope I didn’t ...

    More progess

    Fine morning; drizzle turned to rain mid afternoon. But I tidied the shed, swept the steps, picked up tree debris from the lawn, pruned the wisteria and the azalea, took the fleece off the outdoor plants- not sure if the bay trees have made it or not- and scrubbed my garden hand tools. The rain c...
