Message: [QUOTE="Sean Regan, post: 235498, member: 5841"] Just a bit of housekeeping. A couple of hours of it. Pruned off a lot of dead clematis and more of the tops of the quince on the side fence. The wisterias are still annoying by sending out their last shoots of the year. I've a small stake with a round handle I fitted to the end. We've lots of stuff in pots, six hebes, three Mayleen clematis, a sambucus and a Mimosa that need attention a few times in the year. I push the stake three quarters of the way into the pots or tubs, a couple of inches or so from the edge. You can hear it going through the roots. I then give them a good water. The problem is that they can get a bit root bound and when watered, much of it travels between the rootball and the edge of it's container. So this way the plant does get more water. I'll give everything a good water tonight Got the vac out and got rid of quite a few fallen leaves. Green bin's nearly full and it was only emptied on Wednesday. [/QUOTE]
