You don't need ro do it yet, I'm just replacing my spring / summer bedding plants with autumn /winter pansies and cut back my perennials at the top of the garden, just means I won't have anything really go dead and I've replaced it slightly earlyAutumn ready? Can someone explain what 5his is please?
I've a feeling I should be doing it!
Looks good Evo. I've bought a scarifier in a bid to get rid of all the moss in the lawn which might be a losing battle but I'm determined to give it a go.So I am getting my garden autumn ready, planted winter pansies and moved the hydrangea into the pot as I need it to mature a bit before it goes into the ground as its not strong enough yet, must also paint a couple more fence panels View attachment 16449
Orange?What's the other side of the orange fence by your neighbour's garden?

Safe to say I've gone a bit wild over the last few days... Ignore the 2 fence panels which are being replaced next week, I've planted around 13 shrubs and plants View attachment 16499
you're more green fingered than me. Mine look great for about half an hour then they start dying!
I'm going to get it right for next year!!
Nice those lace cap types. Hydrangeas easy to take cuttings as well, bearing in mind they're not that cheap.Treated myself to ankther hydrangea, I prefer this type rather than the ball types as they are stronger and don't sag down View attachment 16455

Yeah but one of them hasn't a clue what they are doing, one moans all day, one falls asleep on the job, and one had suspected covid?
There is indeed, but I don't have any in my current garden. Miss that.Plenty of lovely Cherry tree blossom in evidence atm.

Congratulations. Didn't take long.Warwickshire Drooper, you say?
I think I remember him. He was also known as Flaccid Phil, back in the 80s, I recall.
Have a look here Flowering cherry trees for small gardensAnyone with recommendations of a nice blossom tree that'll not turn into a beast? Want to plant one at the end of my garden
I had to do a similar job about six and a half years ago, although fortunately the patio was reasonable enough to keep, and the rest was grass. Not a single shrub or plant.Love abit of Gardening.
Moved in to a new place about 6 years ago and the garden was the first thing I tackled.
Getting rid of hundred of paving slabs was a ball ache, ask @Rich

Or for something different, you could try a Hakuro Nishiki. It's a small willow, grown on various heights of rootstock to your own choice. I had one in a previous garden, and it was rather attractive. The winter branches are a fairly bright red, and the foliage varies from green to cream to pink. No blossom as such, but catkins on males.
Reasonably priced, from memory (compared to some trees/shrubs)

They are grown on a rootstock, and this can vary in height. The one I had was probably about the same height as the one in the picture and a similar 'ball on a stick' as it were. Next door had one too, but that was on a very low stock and was in effect a low-growing shrub. You might need to shop around to get the right height for you.Thanks! Really like the look of the Hakuro. Maximum height of 2.5 meters is really ideal for the space I've got in mind too.
Actually could anyone recommend anything for cleaning raised wooden flower beds , they are going a bit green around the top . Was just gonna try and set about it with a jet washer
It was a ball ache loading and unloading them into my motor, worth it though. Garden looks great now mate.Love abit of Gardening.
