My day

After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

Petunas are so pretty and flower for ages, will look so pretty  🙂  What do you use for Aphids Freddie? I have a zillion roses here, which are now all coming back into leaf, so I guess I better start watching them

Sweetpeas are easy, they just take care of themselves

Yes, Bushies, I agree sweet peas are easy. Pop the seed in the ground and forget. Except if you have to make a trellis for them, LOL. They are one of my favourite flowers because they look pretty, smell nice and make a fine display in a vase.

I'm not Freddie, but when I used to have roses, I used a bit of washing up liquid diluted with water to spray on the aphids. Shake as you spray 🙂

Bushy I have a spray in the cupboard, I will go get it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ok it's in a litre spray container and called "beat-A-bug" it's a natural based spray 2 in 1 product protects and feeds it's Natural Garlic and Chilli it's also safe for use on edible crops it's from Richgro.

I love sweet peas they have the most gorgeous scent, but my pebble gardens arn't really for trellis plants, i'm happy just to have easy care no fuss potted plants now.

My mower woman and the whipper snipper man are coming today 🙂

The pool man is coming Monday. 🙂

I really really really wanted to go to Warwick today for the Airing of The Quilts......................but that is apparently not on the agenda but........... I have made arrangements to go next year with a friend.

I have just had bacon and eggs with mayo on a bagel, now for coffee and a bit of reading.

Re roses Katy, that's what I (late) mother ) used to do, always worked for her..... I have around 50 or so roses planted so have to make sure I stay on top of the "bugs"

I planted sweetpea seedlings in winter and survived the frosts we get here, now they are really powering, show how tough they are lol

[katydidthat]

I have a theory that the bigger the seed, the tougher the plant 🙂

Oh, and I love the way sweet peas self-sow.

Another plant I want to grow that needs a trellis is a passion fruit vine. I hate the fruit, but LOVE the flowers.

[katydidthat]

Meant to ask ... is that water next to your garden, Bushies?

[bushies.girl]

Hope to save the seeds from mine this season Katy .... Yup it's a channel that flows down to the lake, to stop flooding

[bushies.girl]

Thanks Freddie, have written it down .... I said the same when we bought this place, only potted plants BUT somehow it changed lol
