Wow everyone's gardens are looking great
I have Just had a couple of weeks off work so have done some tidying up in mine
after a good month of just enjoying view
this was 02/07/2011 with the poppies at their peek
In My own bit it has been a case of ripping up the rest of the annuals that had seeded themselves (mostly poppies)
then give the aubrietia, campanula & geranium a bit of a hack back
it let me see where there were any gaps that needed filling
& I found some nice pinks in Morrison's for £1.50 a pop so hopefully now there a 6 different varieties for next year
And it also gave me chance to lift the first 2 bulbs of garlic
I am well chuffed with them
The lawn got another attack of rake, cut, rake then cut as low as I could
that then led to standing there looking at it with a pot of tea & a joint & the next thing I know I was hacking back the lavender up the side of the lawn
Once I had recovered from that (it didn't do the sciatica any good)
I have made a start on tidying up next doors bit
Again mostly clearing poppies that have flowered & moving the odd foxglove or 2
and I had taken some cuttings from a fuchsia a couple of months back & they needed some where to live
These were taken this morning before I cut the sweetpeas
TTFN
