It was a lovely day yesterday. Dry and sunny and not so much wind. A few days ago, we were in the garage and the winds threatened. We were so scared that we put tons of wood and cardboard to block all the gaps. We certainly didn't want to roof to be blown away. We live in Greater London. Imagine what it's like in the SW which is constantly battered by strong winds.
You know, when you googled low maintenace front garden, there are tons of pop up messages which would not close, like this
which annoys me no end. There's no privacy and your browsers are being STALKED, and then you're harassed by these unpleasant pop ups. The stalker probably read my message and has just popped down.
Decorated the house a bit with 50p superb quality tinsels from gc! They are strong, thick and glitzy! Didn't do much, apart from planting my cuttings from Paul Scarlet climbing rose. A real stunner and vigorous too. Only down side - no perfume! I saw a pot lying on its side inside a bowl of water and picked it up to see 2 little plants with green. Not bad as there were 4 cuttings and 2 struck. 50% even though the poor thing had been submerged in water. Don't even know how it landed in there. If they climbed up, I would need rebar, definitely not chicken wire! Ooops! My half-baked ideas are just so time wasting and pointless. I will see if I can drill holes in the posts and use a heavy duty wire to make 3 strong horizontal supports.
Watched Chris Beardshaw's revival of British Blooms in which he extolled the beauty of Enkianthus Campanulata. I have had the seeds since June and sadly they are still in the seed packet. I must get my act together and see what I can do with them. I 've googled about raising it from seeds, but very little information.
