So I thought I would show you, my now very empty garden.
Hubby and I managed to get the last plants out of the ground on Saturday, just in time, as we started having quite white frosts that night.
Now it is empty and desolate. The Ricinus as you can see have finally succumbed, they where just starting to form seed pods too. Everything that is left is hardy so will remain until next year.
On the patio the TRex seems untouched by the frost
The same with the tree ferns,
The Arid bed all tucked up. My Olive tree, I have had this for years, I would really like to plant this in, but it is so small it would look silly. I suppose I could make a raised bed for it? Something to think about.
From the archway down to the greenhouse, all bare!
Had a fright Sunday night, when I went in and checked my thermometer and found it was -3C so set up and extra heater. That has obviously done the trick!!! 5C is as low as I like it to go.
So the Brugmansia are now in and will remain dry all winter. I had them planted in the garden this year, but they failed to flower , I will put them back into big pots next year.
The Ensetes (bananas) still upside down, I will turn them in a couple of weeks.
The cactus all seem happy.
Whats worrying me is how empty the greenhouse is? I have looked back over previous years and for some unknown reason, I have no pics of the winterized greenhouse.
Looking up the garden from the archeway! The hardy banana Musa Basjoo, will die right back then pop up again next year!!
So there you go, probably the last post for this year, I am already buying seeds ready for next year, just have to put them in a place I remember where they are!!!
