Chrysanthemum Weed

I posted these photo's on my email group this morning trying to find out what they are and I think they are Chrysanthemum Weed?  If anyone knows then please let me know.

I have a new addiction to my garden today, a nice little Bird house my Brother and sister in law gave me for my Birthday.  I had been looking at these so was chuffed to get one.

I am trying my luck with the propagation again but for some reason my cuttings die I do not know what I am doing wrong any advice would be appreciated?  The two cuttings I took off my brothers neighbours bushes seem to be OK that's the one on the left and the one just in front of the black pot, but my two Hydrangeas seem to be drying up.  I have turned off the heat and have put the propagator in front of the window see if that improves the cuttings.

BEFORE THE COLD WEATHER A RECORD OF MY AUTUMN GARDEN 2011

A few photos of my Autumn November Garden just to remind myself how it looks before the cold weather sets in and takes down some of my plants.

NOVEMBER GARDEN

I thought I would take one last shoot of the garden while the plants are still nice and the cold weather has not set in yet, one last shoot before the frost sets in.

How wonderful nature is!!!

COULD NOT RESIST

Well after a weeks of looking at Pansy's and Primrose plants in the Garden Centre I have given in and got some.  I went to the supermarket for something little and came out with plants, Trust me!

Yellow Pansy

Mauve blue Pansy

I have been looking at these Heathers for a while also and apparently they dye them this is the Mauve one

These are so nice I love the thick leaves these are the Primrose plants.  I am hoping they spread just like the Sweet Williams.

This is the best one it has the most flowers and they look very neat.

These are my St John Wort cuttings 'LOOK' they are growing. I am so pleased after trying over and over to get a cutting.  All my attempts failed before these.

Can please someone tell me what these Vines are called?  There are taking off now.  The other day it was real windy and where the flowers had grown up the wall they flopped so I had to tie them up.

This Sweet Pea is a bonus, after that really Sunny and hot Weekend at the Beginning of October this came up from no where so I have stuck the canes in ready to support them as they grow up.  Next year I will have to call my Garden the Sweet Pea Garden.  I have lots of seeds in the ground and 6 plants on the other side.

Love these Sweet Williams you have to pick off the dead buds and they grow and grow.

This is a cutting from my neighbours Garden I have tried this one many times before still crossing my fingers on this one.

Sweet Peas growing up the canes.

These are some cuttings from my Hydrangea and some I pinched from the School across the road, I am sure they will not mind.

Can not get enough of these Sweet Williams 

Ivy and at the back a cutting of the Rose Bush from Neighbours Garden.

St Johns Wort Coming along nicely now!

And some more Sweet Williams!!!!

Primrose and Christmas Trees

My Primrose plants arrived from Thomson and Morgan they were so small so I might have to wait a good few weeks until I see any growth. There are 42 plug plants and I have put them on the right side of the garden.  I am looking forward to the lovely flowers; I will keep you updated.

I just love Free Cycle I thank my friend Sharon from Canada for telling me about this great email Group.  So far I have got 4 lovely trees, Holly, Cyprus, and these two Christmas Trees, Jae from Muswell Hill had them in pots and she said they really need to go in the ground and Jae emailed me asking if I wanted them I jumped at the chance to get more plants and the best part of them is they are free. Jae was the lady who gave me the two other trees.

Jim my brother said I have to be careful because these trees will suck up all the goodness in the soil and stop my flowers from budding, so I have decided I will leave them here for a while to they take and grow a bit then move them to the back of the garden.  I did try to plant the bigger one at the back but it look so lost sitting there all on its own it needed the company of the other plants I think.

The two trees together with the Primrose in the front.

I am so pleased with my new border and ever since I enriched the soil with the farm poo, he he, even my cuttings are at last taking.  I have tried so many times to get a cutting of my St Johns Wort and now I have three little cuttings coming up.  I also have Cuttings of the Bay tree and two Hydrangea cuttings.
