At the end of a week of gardening where I barely engaged with plants at all, I'm going to do six plants. I just looked back to last week's six and I'd barely started on my fence. Somehow I've pressed on through rain and shine and it's now finished. I've tidied up and turned my…

This sort of weather makes it hard to get enthusiastic about anything, let alone gardening. I wanted to crack on with my fence this week but it's a mud bath out there so progress has been slow. There has been some though. I also sowed seed of a couple of things. Four more and I…

I just spent the last hour blasting mealy bugs off cacti, at which point the skies opened and I ran for cover. Such a glamorous life. I was expecting to be fencing this weekend, the kind with bits of wood, not swords. Unfortunately only part of what I'd ordered was delivered, so now the rest…

There will be only one thing happening in my garden this saturday and it involves stone. Lots of stone. You won't get to see it in Saturday fsixes, it's such fun I'll do a post about it separately.I got the sheet onto my polytunnel on thursday, so that's now ready to get tested by next…

Unless it's tipping down, I shall be out in the garden taking the big project sparked by the removal of my tunnel forward. Hacking out the remains of the hedge mainly. I'm working on a different post about that, so I'll say no more here. I might plant a few bulbs too but I'd better…

In like a lamb and out like a lion describes this week. I need better weather, I have things to get on with. Rainy days are good for blogging and bad for things to blog about.Bulbs have been to the fore this week in that Tony Tomeo sent me lots of Amaryllis seed, thank you…

Phew, what a week, and it's not over yet. Last Sunday was the Rare plant fair at Tregrehan, probably the highlight of my gardening year. It was postponed from June but was worth the wait. I shouldn't do this because it'll make you envious, but this is what we bought. (Sue came too)Crassula albaBegonia 'Griphon'Begonia…

The weather looks set to assert itself next week, bringing an end to the pretence that summer is lingering on. The first seed catalogue arrived thursday too. I'm OK with it, even if I do have at least two Dahlias that have only begun to flower this week. My thoughts are turning to next season…

The glasshouse floor is finished, I have staging and shelving on order. I'll make it item number one even though nothing much is happening in there today. If a thing is just statically there, in situ, going nowhere, does it qualify as happening on a Saturday? A flower or plant is transitory, so it is…

Where do the weeks go, it's scary how little time seems to have lapsed since last week. I'm in full on project mode in the garden, sorting out the glasshouse that I used to call my propagation house. It's still essentially a sideshow to moving the tunnel but it needs doing so I have somewhere…
