Runners beans

Posted: Yesterday at 20:56

I have been trying to design something quite architectural for the runners, but I only have 1.2m sq. so it will be a double skinned archway. Will post pics when it's done.

I have fantasies about making a pagoda in bamboo for the beans next year

This evening I could scarcely drag myself in from the garden; everything is on the cusp of happening. The air is mild, the birds are singing, I am so so pleased not to be living in a city anymore.

Saint or sinner?.....don't like annuals

Verdun; a garden, like a house should never be a static thing. How many times a week do you look at the pictures in your house - I bet you never do! That is because they have been there since pterodactyls flew over Hyde Park. A garden which only contains perennials, contains no surprises and for you, the owner is a static entity that you possibly no longer really 'see'. Introducing a sprinkle of annuals here and there can enhance the perennials and make you see them in a different way.

Annuals represent change; change is good for humans, we become stale without it.

Love the painted pot Fairy G, did you use the PVA full strength or diluted?

Beloved Lavender bushes dying

Just looked at my lavender bushes outside the front fence, they look awful; only bits of them alive. I think they might have to go, also the horizontal Juniper.
