CLOSE UP UPDATE AUGUST

This is a experiment, I got this Chrysanthemum Plant it was meant for indoors.  I bought it cheap thinking it was for the garden.  So I have split it into five plants and put it into my flower bed where I have just improved the soil.  I just want to see how long they last and just see if they grow, Who knows?

I am very pleased with this Hydrangea Plant its growing and budding more flowers.


Still watching my Ivy its like watching a kettle boil hehe.


I have been researching these Hosta plants and was real pleased to find out that I can split them like the Iris's.  I am going to leave this for this year and next year when its a bit more established I will lift it up and make a few more plants from it.


This is my transported Vine crossing my fingers it would take, well its growing up the wall so lets see how it is next spring.

This is like a Iris it grows with tall yellow flowers I have split this into three plants you will just have to see what its like in the spring.

My Irises are branching out again after splicing some of them and moving to a few places in the garden.  Looking forward to these flowering in the spring.

Just took these photos to give myself a record of the growth as these will last all through the Winter, crossing my fingers.






This is the transported Plant that Benji liked to pull up, its got two babies, this plant took a good few weeks to establish it self, so I am please its got babies.


Here are the Babies

This seems to be spreading slowly, I know now why these were cheap to buy because I missed the Flowers, shame because they only last one season.  You never know they might just flower?


More Sweet Williams


I am waiting for this to flower its gets white flowers. I will keep you updated with this.


I am hopping this plant lasts until next year.

These are so slow to grow.

My Bay not sure if I am going to leave it natural or shape it. We will see?

Hoping this gets established love to see this grow tall.


Ivy on my flower bed growing and I am trying to trail the leafs up the fence.


When I remember the name of this I tell you the story

Sweet Pea is spreading and I have some Seed Pods growing I have researched how to do these seeds so I will wait to late Autumn and that will be a new challenge for me.





This was an experiment too, don't laugh this corner was quite bare and I transferred some grass from elsewhere and it took.



Waiting for this corner to grow just might have to put some seeds in next year this little corner was filled with weeds that I killed.


More transported grass?







Giving myself a record of the grass
