What did you do in your garden today?

[Sean Regan]

Didn't do much today.

Cut and scarified our small front lawn. Mowed the back lawn, dead-headed a few roses, got the garden vac out and collected a lot of fallen azalea blooms.
Watched a lot of tennis on TV.

 

[Sean Regan]

Didn't do a lot today. Had a change round of pots.

Moved the four tree roses off the new paved area.

Put two on the small patio and replaced the two tree azaleas at the bottom of the garden with the other two.

The tree azaleas have been relegated. Azaleas aren't attractive when the blooms are dying off.

Moved two roses off the main patio to the new paved area.



Finished re-painting the pagoda.

Heavy pots!

 

[Sean Regan]

Heavy pots!

Yes they are! And the glazed finish makes them slippery.

I've a sack truck in the garage, which I could use, but I can never be bothered to get it out.

Careful!

Careful!

They are more awkward than a bother, the new Massarelli stone fountain I installed on my own, weighed 71 kilos.

I went to the local native plant sale and picked up a few. I already have Side-oats grama, but wanted to pick up another. Royal Catchfly and Meadow Anemone are new species to my garden.

I suspect many only dethatch once a year, but how often do you run the machine? 2 or 3 times across a season maybe?

I use it about now and again in September on a mdium setting. Then again at the end of October on a high setting as it's ideal for leaf collection. Probably why it's lasted so long. But I do give it a bit of a "lub job," before putting it away.

I just realized you have round paver stone simply to handle the plants in pots. I am in an envy\awe celebratory mood because of how much practical sense it makes!
