Instead, I am gardening with a camera, making a list of things to do.
The neighbours wretched hedge is a right pain in the proverbial. Planted nearly 20 odd years ago by the then landscape gardener neighbour, who kept it well trimmed and below fence level. Two neighbours later we have this, we are lucky if it gets trimmed at all, when it does it is not done well.
I go along and trim back what I can. But this needs to be done again soon.
This honeysuckle is going, its driving me potty. The bushy thing, (forgotten its name) is also moving in the autumn.
The Passionflower is not flowering anymore but it has been stunning, we have loads of fruit now. This has done so well this year, probably due to the mild winter.
The raised bed has been emptied, of its palm and hibiscus. I am still deciding on what to do here. Its very well drained so I had been thinking of putting in some cactus/succulents.
As you can see from the next photo this area is a lovely seating area, especially now our other neighbour has chopped down 3 of her Silver Birch trees. So I am tempted to put in some lovely smelling plants in instead. Choices, choices!
I still love my big leaves though!!!
Get well soon Libby!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that name of that tree? I had one in my yard as a kid. I think I've got one growing in my yard not on purpose, but would to find out if its the right type. The one in my youth would grow long stem formed from white flowers, but wouldn't produce anything from the green stem like things. I think they were pods and had seeds inside.
