We are Playing the Hokey Cokey

with the plants, in the greenhouse, or out, depending on the weather.
By now in the past years I had already hardened off and some plants had started to be planted out, but with bad frosts on a nightly basis they keep going back in the greenhouse at night!

Its getting a tighter and tighter fit.
Especially as I have had to pot on again and you can see the shelves bending under the weight!

Some plants have had to go into BIGGER pots and are now on the floor, hence the squash.

more shelves, overflowing

My Olive bush

Sanguinea

My other New Brugmansias

My old Brugs are at the very back in the corner hidden by the prop! But being watered and fed.

 My new Ensete montbeliardii

Maurelli

Meanwhile just look how clear the pond is

Prior to this it had been getting pretty gunky, and after a visit to the local pond place we found that our filter box  wasn't big enough so we have purchased a new filter box, and what a difference it has made.

More plants have been added too, plus more to come.
As you can see there is lots more to do up the top of the garden

Happy Times & Sad Times too.

I haven't blogged for ages as we have had so much going on, my mums 80th one weekend, the next weekend my brother in laws 40th and this last weekend we lost one of our cats

I found Jake unable to use his back legs on Friday after a visit and short stay and a few tests at the vets, he was diagnosed with heart failure. So very sad as he was only 6 years and 1 month old. He was very much T's cat and used to follow her around and chat away to her. She misses him dreadfully. Not much else has changed here, I keep getting the plants out of the greenhouse to harden off, then end up having to put them back in because of the threat of frost. Lyneham's weather for cast for this week Today Max 11C /Min 4C Tuesday Max 11C/ Min 3C Wednesday Max 12C/ Min 3C Thursday Max 12C /Min 3C it had better start warming up otherwise the open garden is not going to be a very good tropical show!

Airing the Plants.

I decided to start putting my bigger plants outside during the day to start hardening them off. So I popped them around the entrance to the greenhouse, gave them a very thorough watering and hoped it would rain (it didn't)

Inside and under the prop. somewhere we haven't seen much of. In the bery back corner are 2 Brugmansias.

The shelves, abit more visible.

A few gaps here and there, but I still have veggie seeds to plant.

Coleus, Heucheras, Nicotiana plus petunias and other bedding plants for the front window box.

Really not sure what is going on with my Begonias, not alot it seems.

 My cyperus papyrus

So come on Mother nature I can cope with rain but please could you warm it up a bit.
