I have got a bay plant that is not very well. I have lost one last year. I do not like to think I will kill this one this winter. I have got it in the back shed and water it ever day but the leaves are going brown. Is it to cold in the shed? Can I give it in to the house My house is heater on a night time. Happy gardening.

i think it is going to be to wet again for being outside but thinking about next sping and planting out my new garden. It is a good time of the year to look at the garening books in a dry house. happy gardening

I did not get out on sunday it rained all day here. My garden is a mess the trees are droping all the leaves and with it raining I could not get out. I do like this time of the year the colours in the trees.My bay plant still looks sick the leaves are going brown I am giving it water and put it inside. I do hope I have not lose it. I do not have alot of luck with bay plants. I may get out today if it is dry. Happy gardening all

I have a bay tree that is not looking very well I lost one last year I think the frost got it,I have put the new bay in my back shed but it still looks ill. I also have a aloe vera plant that is getting to big for my kichen window can I move it away from the light or will it die.In the books it say it was to be in the sun light. I love my garden and being in my garden but today was to wet to be in it. If some one can help with both or one thank you.

Well today is a bit iffy . I need to go and sow some seeds before it is too late . Having repotted a lot of my succulent collection, I found some mealy bug ! any remedies please , I have the usual stuff to spray , but I seem to have read somewhere that Meths painted on is a good treatment ??

Hi -- well quite a kind day today .I managed to get all the lawns cut, and some of the edges too ! There are still a lot of butterflies about, especially speckled wood.
Yesterday I planted lots of bulbs from Aldi`s ,for cutting, mainly tulps and anemone de caen. So cheap- cant believe it .
Japenese onions are ready to go in tomorrow, and winter salad.Lots of my cuttings have rooted -- so was potting on too. Still lots of colour from Michs . echinacea, J.anemone, salvias etc. Salvia Patens "Oxford Blue" is paticularly lovely this year.
there is a lot of clearing to do-- ready for winter ! Brr .
Enjoy whats left of the gardening year.
Cheers P.F.

It is starting to be chilly mornings and evenings. I have started the process of shutting down the garden. The tomato plants are "going over", the bushes need re-shaping. I have a lot of trees and bushes, not to say Bonsai Trees that need packing into boxes for the winter, so it will take me some time to have done it all, but I have made a start.

Well at last we have had 2 days when I can garden, so many jobs to catch up on. So did a lot yesterday , and today I am pleasing myself .
Just moving variuos things , and taking cuttings, dead heading etc . What I really want is 3or4 days of sun to ripen some seeds, at the moment they are just much --lol.
I could do with a cutting of Geranium Pointyfingrus , -- really like it.Thanks for the series on vertical gardens-- wuold love to try.
Its feeling very Autumnal here ------ far too early ! Ah well !
Cheers P.F.

Hi ,first of September!
Well at the weekend my G.children came and picked the wild plums in my garden, must have picked about 2 or 3 stones. So its time to get the jam pan out again .
Lots of Autumn colour in the garden, helianthus, rudbeckia, sunflowers, asters, crocosmia, and lots of cosmosand other things . I also have some very lovely perennial Salvias, one of my favorites, tho I loath the annual ones .
I have also lifted all the potatoes, Anya , and Una.pac choy is up , need to thin and transplant .
Enjoy your day.
Cheers P.F.

Out of season white Amarylis that decided to bloom when I'd put it out in the garden for the summer.
