My wee patch

[angie]

I wouldn't mind some of those Arctotis in a pot. I grow annuals in pots just to give a splash of colour here and there. It amazes me how we keep changing our gardens.

Lesley happy plants are well fed plants, maybe the same goes for us

Arctotis China Pink

One more bed in the making - cottage planting to raised bed

In the pots by the hedge - about 40 different Argyranthemums

I didnt get photos today because I was out until late

Angie, it's a matter of drawing the line between well fed and over fed.

Mark, those fabulous Arctotis! Don't they get frozen?

Alberto the photo is old. Every October they were composted at a friends house. There was enough to fill the boot of my car

There's a line?

To late, I have crossed the line, just finished a bag of dairy milk giant buttons. Should have only had a few and then closed the bag 

Mark where did you purchase your plug plants.

Thanks Mark. Thought this would come in handy for next year. I liked Dianthus 'Neon Star', wouldn't mind ordering some of these. When I was down at Graham Catlows garden he had Dianthus in large numbers.  I really liked the look of that. Now are Dianthus lime lovers, will have to go and look that up.

Do you still have the tall potted conifer - the one that looks like a green firework - Mark?

It's usually round the middle Maggi.

Angie, most Dianthus are lime lovers, though can live without it. D. pavonius and its forms (like 'Inshriach Dazzler,') and in my experience D. alpinus don't like lime, but some people disagree about that one.

I'm trying to underline for emphasis. I usually do capitals but now I'm told that capitals mean I'm shouting, in an email. Don't want to shout at anyone, so will try to remember to underline.

Great to see the comparison shots, Mark.

I did a talk for a gardening club last week and while preparing the presentation I was trolling through pics of the garden at it's best...... realised some of the pics were 5 years old and how much everything had grown since the pics were taken.  It is very cool to come across and compare pics like that, seeing how far things have come.

Well done!  I love the makeover with the arch in the last lot you posted.

Hi Paul, long time no 'see'. Thanks. More photos today. I was again yesterday so no photos taken

Mark,

I don't know where the time went.  I thought it was a couple of weeks but it was more like 6 weeks.  Time's passing me by.
