SixOnSaturday

greeting fellow sextuplet . I actually got a match of hours gardening done last weekend , beginning to tackle the backlog of Book of Job that has establish up over the last few months . industrial plant were dress , make out back , chop up per the demand of the season . I still have freight to do , including most of the clematis and all of the mounting rose . Might get around to that this weekend , we ’ll see ! in the interim it ’s clock time for Six on Saturday . Six things , in the garden , on a Saturday . Could be anything . A heyday , a yield , a harvest , a pestis , a success , a unsuccessful person , anything at all . Join in !

Here are my Six …

1 – Hellebore foetidus , stinking hellebore . Only stinky when beat out , I gather . I ’ve no idea where this plant life came from . I ’m almost certain I did n’t bribe it or originate it myself , so it ’s a blow - in of some variety . In metre it forms a decent clump and can have quite an impressive Seth of blooms at a time when very trivial else is bloom . This one just has the one flower prow at the moment . With it being green about the branchia , I almost missed it as I was stalking the garden for SoS fodder .

2 – Clematis tangutica ‘ Bill Mackenzie ’ . Wow but Bill is an ANIMAL , growing 15 or 20 metrical unit last year , well up in to a nearby tree . He ’s certainly too much for the 6′ fence I ’m grow him against . Last Sunday I did a bit of garden out front , much of which was spend squirm with Bill . I prevailed eventually , but had to stuff him in the bank identification number , with a pile of his prunings still get out on the campaign . Bill is now neatly trimmed to about 18 inch and ready to go again . I find clematis to be a fickle bunch , but when they are felicitous , they are REALLY felicitous .

3 – Daffodil ‘ Peach Cobbler ’ . Some of last year ’s new daffs return for a second show . You ’ll be glad to know that I become the last 50 daffodil planted in the front garden . Every class I severalise myself I hate it so much ( constitute them ) that I will purchase much less next clip . Inevitably that go out the window once the electric light catalogues come out in July .

4 – Helenium ‘ Sahins Early Flowerer ’ . I have a few clump of this now , all from one original plant . It is very easy to divide and I will do more of that in a month or two . That little group on the correct bridge player side will in all probability generate 10 or 15 plantlet . I maturate them on for a few months then plant them out .

5 – Hydrangea ‘ Annabel ’ . I was trying to get a film of the new bud I can see on this , but they would n’t hold still for long enough to focus on them . Trust me , they ’re there . I ’ll leave last year ’s blooms on until March , say , when the risk of stern frost has diminished .

6 – Malus , bud . Talking of buds , I was begin to opine this tree diagram was n’t going to flourish , perhaps even dying , since it produced only a few sear fruit . Perhaps it just had stage fright , it ’s first season in my garden . We hope for better things this class , we shall see . The process has start well enough , there are buds for new growth .

Have a super weekend , perhaps you ’ll get the chance to do some gardening , conditions permitting .

I ’ll be back next weekend with another # SixOnSaturday .
