Today has been my first real day gardening - there have been some days spent clearing the huge mass of brambles that descended into the garden when our neighbours cropped their tree. Also some deck washing and weeding but today was the day it feels like we are moving again.
Also a first trip to the garden centre which was exciting and always full of promise. In the back we now have a silvery Euphorbia that I hope deals well with the trick back corner. In pots we have a Nepeta Walkers's Low and a white Hydrangea. Also in beds we have another Geranium (Gravetye) and a silvery tall grass.
So on the way in the back and I also threw away a horrible pot that had a whippy grass that always cut your ankles (it was there when we moved in 8 years ago).
My to do list and resolutions for May are as follows:
1) Calm down on the pots and start to get rid of the ugly ones
2) Wash the upper decking and the trough there
3) Finally paint the fence on the upper deck.
4) Get a taller plant for the top of the garden for better height
5) Plan what herbs I will fill in the gaps with in June
And then of course we have the front garden to entirely re-plan.
