garden
Six on Saturday ! Six things , in the garden , on a Saturday . Could be anything ; a project , yield & veg , a good flower , a pest , anything at all . Why not join in ?
Here are my Six for this calendar week .
1 – Blueberries . I bought this little Vannevar Bush for a reduced price last year some prison term . I know that blueberry like a boggy setting so I have been watering it bigly . No yield ! I garner they also care an acidic ground . A good tip I heard is to shred the christmas tree as the pine tree needles provide a good hit of somewhat acidulent goodness to the dirt , if used as a mulch . I imagine this only works with substantial trees , and dependable to remove the sprite lights first .
2 – tagetes . A sorry tale of neglect . I grow these from come this yr . I acquire as far as prick them out , then to potting them on , but they ’ve not made it beyond that and are still ekeing out a rather lonely and piteous world in the corner of the glasshouse . To quote the Orange One , # Sad .
3 – Dahlia ‘ rebeccas world ’ . The photograph of these flowers on the Nyessens website were highly enticing , yummy even , looked like you could rust it for pud . In real life they ’re not bad either ( to look at … I have n’t eaten one ! ) .
4 – phlox var unk . I liberated this plant life from my female parent ’s garden after she foolishly agreed to let me grind a bit up . Her definition of “ a bit ” and mine were intelligibly dissimilar , she is still dischuffed about the size of it of my removal . I was able to divide my clump into two , and they are now flowering away .
5 – Gaillardia ‘ solemnization ’ . another bargain leverage . Original price £ 13 , bribe for £ 3 . Who buys plant at £ 13 each ? More money than sensory faculty . Gaillardia ’s I ’ve had before have been predominantly yellow , this one is emphatically flushed . It is currently parked in the cold - frame , the eq of the planes orbiting Heathrow , look for a landing slot .
6 – begonia ‘ yukon frost ’ . These caught my center as I was prowling the headroom section of my local garden centre . I like the silver leaves , not certain if it will bloom , or if it had already flowered . I ’ll be happy with just the foliage . I have three of them , all in the same 30 centimetre patio pot .
Enjoy the rest of your weekend , and do n’t forget to tick back in subsequently to see if more links have been leave .
I ’ll be back next week for another Six .
