Sprouting Early

Due to the mild weather I have plants coming up in the garden early.
These are my Bluebells that come up every year



More Bluebells

 

I got these roots from the Community Garden never expected them to come up to the spring


Bluebells again


My new mini Greenhouse




Now these Primrose plants I made a mistake with I was suppose to pot them up when I got them in September they were small plug plants I had 40 of them and they have stayed small ever since.  Now they seem to be growing and this one has got flowers at long last.



This is a Sweet Pea that grows from next door hoping this one survives 


I cut the old growth of these Sedums and now new ones are growing up.



quite a few Sweet Peas growing here.



more Bluebells

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.

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!!!!
