Garden Update start of September

A last I have a flower on my Phlox plant thought it would never happen.

The vine is coming along nicely climbing up the garage wall.

The Ivy is nicely growing up the wall too, not sure how long it will take but I like it to cover the whole of this ugly wall.

Remember that Mellow I had up the fence well its growing like made at the back of the garden now, its better then just plain dirt,

This is growing wild too its amazing how stuff just grows out of nowhere?

The Hydrangea is turning green have no idea what colour it will go next, that be interesting to see.

Been trying to get the grass to grow at the front of the garden I gave it a good turn over this morning it was so compacted when I did dig it up I found lots of stones and a big rock no wonder the grass does not want to grow. I might have to put some seeds down ready for next spring.  I looked it up on the Internet and the grass starts slowing down this time of year.

What is happening in my Garden end of August

Remember that vine that was growing up the wall under my widow at the bottom of the garden? I transplanted it to the top of the garden near the Elderberry Tree. Well its taken and now its creeping up the garage wall that is just what I wanted so a successive project that worked.

I had to cut down the Iris I panted the other day the long leaves were drooping so to give more energy to it rooting I trimmed it and the others.

The Sweet Williams are spreading 

This creeper looks nice but I planted it too late in the season it is suppose to be covered in pink flowers that never happened, but if you look at the photo below look hard hehe there is one bud.

Pulled up some more Ivy from the front garden and I am hoping it will spread over my little rockery

This little Cutting came with the Holly plant I have planted it and maybe I will get another tree?

My Sweet Pea plants arrive last Friday so I have put them out in the Garden I have six of them two pink two red and two white they were marked but silly me got them all mixed up so its going to be pot luck in what order they come up, it will be a surprise for next spring.

Now this is a learning curb for me this is a seeded pod that has come up on my Sweet Pea so I looked up how to propagate the seeds.  I have to wait to the pod goes to a brown colour like a paper bag, then I take it in doors let it dry out and it will start splitting I can then take out the seeds let them dry out then I will then grow the seeds for next spring looks like I might have tons of Sweet pea plants.  Will be one way of covering up the ugly fence you see in the photo.  

Here have some new pods growing!

My Hydrangea seems to be changing colour I have noticed the buds are going a shade of green.  Watching next door Hydrangea I noticed when it changed colour it  changed from pink to a deeper pink, red colour.  I wonder what colour mine will change too?

Cypress and Holly in their new home

Holly Tree planted in its new home at the top of my garden 

The Cypress Tree is planted here but if it grows to a big hight then I might have to move it. Next doors rose bush tends to hang over the fence and might get in the way.

Transferred More Iris Plants & More

This Morning I was out early breaking off some more Ryzones and replanting around my garden here are some photos where I have planted them.

These two trees I am very excited about, I bagged them off my Free cycle group was lucky for a change and got in first, one is a Holly Tree and the other a Cypress tree.  I will be picking them up this afternoon then I will have to decide where to put them because they could grow quite tall.

Cypress Tree and Holly Tree

Cypress Tree

Now I will have to look for the name of this Iris like plant I split the few I had and planted them in my new flower bed, these produce lovely yellow flowers in the spring.  I have no idea where they came from they just appeared last year I guess I have to thank the birds.

If you look to the right behind the Iris Plants you will see the Iris like plant at the back right by the fence with the yellow flowers.  This is where they started and where I dug them up and made a couple of plants out of them, now they have multiplied and I have planted them next to the orange flowers the name escapes me at this moment.  

REARRANGE

I have been moving stuff around and made this little rockery its near where I sit I have changed the lights so many times since this Photo every time I look at it I rearrange 

Here it is again this time I have added more rocks and hehe changed the ornaments around again. 

I caught this Wood Pigeon nicking the Elderberry's off my tree they keep dropping them and braking off the leafs, when the berries hit the ground its like paint splattering. 

Two of them having a feed

The grass is coming along nicely 

this part of the grass was bare a good few weeks ago, my transplanted grass believe it or not worked its rooted and is growing.

I have taken these out of there pots and put in a bigger container, I used my recycling bin, don't tell Hackney Council (smile)

To make it look a bit better I used the Pot Legs that are Frogs and to compliment the little frogs I put my Mummer Frog there too!

This one has grown I potted it and moved it to the sunny side of the garden.

The Iris plants have established themselves and are sprouting new stems.

Now this photo I was trying to get behind the plants but it did not work hehe nice pic of my legs haha

I trimmed the neighbours Rose bush yesterday it was hanging over the fence and dropping all its petals on my side I got a bit fed up with picking them up, so trimmed it back a bit.
