Seeking inspiration, I looked back at what I'd posted as sixes in Januaries past. No help there. Walking round the garden didn't help much either. It's cold and wet and dull. Next door have a mini digger in and are starting to do something, so we have a grandstand seat to watch and tut. Anyhow,…

It gets tricky finding six things happening in the garden when nothing is happening. Other than a few things collapsing after a couple of frosty nights that is. Even going round looking for things is a bit fraught, the decking outside the back door is like a skating rink. Six things happening that are visible…

I've hardly been out in the garden this week. It's been cold, often wet and the ground is sodden. I lifted a couple of Begonias and potted them up. They'll go back out in spring and be months ahead of where they'd be if left in the ground. Did a bit of tidying up and…

Lordy, where did that month go? It's deep into the time of preparing for next season, this one being dead and gone. I've been planting, digging up and potting, moving and chucking out. I write myself lists, the current one still has less things done than not.It being the weird year it is, on Tuesday…

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…

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 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…

I seem to be accumulating drafts of blogs that never make it to being published. Nothing like a deadline to concentrate the mind. The weather is very much in blog finishing mode, endless drizzle. It always amazes me how much drizzle it takes to fill my water tanks; everything seems to be soaking wet but…

Looks like we may be back to more familiar weather for a while, frontal systems coming in off the Atlantic, an hour or two of rain then back to dry. The garden seems to be in transition, I've done nearly all the planting I have planned and am waiting for things to start flowering. In…
