Dahlias are finally doing their thing! Such a treat when everything else is looking parched and sad.

Getting the lavenders pruned yesterday. A really satisfying job that I look forward to every year. It’s important to do it now after flowering to keep them looking their best. I like to cut down into the new growth by a few centimetres to keep them compact and bushy.

These pots we planted up back in May are looking fabulous now ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🌿

Nice, neat bit of topiary work today by Dan on these box balls. We have managed to keep the caterpillars at bay by spraying monthly with Xentari so it’s looking pretty good. Such a perfect shrub to prune with it’s fresh, small green leaves. The second wave of caterpillars will be coming in the next few weeks so if you’ve got any box shrubs make sure you get them sprayed. 🐛

It’s just coming to the end of Asparagus plantings season and I was desperate to get some in. So I ordered 10 Gijnlim crowns at the weekend knowing full well that the spot I had in mind for them was full of ground elder and nettles 😬

The crowns arrived on Wednesday so the pressure was on to get the bed ready as they don’t store well.

Tried a bit of Hugelkulture composting - adding twigs, leaves, grass cuttings, horse manure, banana skins into the middle of the bed to create a mini composter right in the bed.

This method will help retain moisture and slowly release nutrients for the plants. Genius!

Now I just have to be really patient (not my forte!) and wait for two years before I can tuck in!

A lot of plants for us to get in today in this pretty cottage garden near Stockbridge. We did the front garden last year which is looking beautiful. The back garden was re-landscaped in winter with new retaining walls, a paved terrace areas and steps up into the main garden. It just needed to be finished off with lots of lovely cottage garden plants like lavender and foxgloves plus a big patch of Hydrangea Annabelle’s in a semi shaded bed. Used Pachysandra Terminalis for ground cover and some of the variegated Vinca. Can’t wait to see how it all matures and comes together.

A great way to save a few quid is to over winter your summer bedding plants. I’ve had these Geraniums on my windowsill since late October and will be potting them up outside early May once the risk of frost has passed. I’ve just watered them once a week and now they’re rewarding me with these colorful early flowers 🌺 🌱

Should have been doing housework so decided to split and divide some supermarket pots of Basil and Coriander instead. Have always wanted to do this. Then wasted some more time feeding the leaves I pinched out to the chickens. ❤️
