High Winds.

 

 Garden damage last evening during quite gusty winds. This flowering cherry will need quite a bit of repair to be safe again.

  To save their necks I picked 4 of my lovely lime Gladioli and put them on the bench to admire.  This year they are free of thrip damage so I am pleased about that.


 Outside we have been busy over the last 2 weeks pulling out box.
 This corner flower garden which I have planted over the last 2 years had only the rhododendron behind a box hedge when we came here. Now we have pulled out the rest of that box hedge which extended around the corner.( to the left ) 



 Here it is now minus the box hedge and newly planted with Carnations , geraniums  ( I grew ) lobelia and other seedlings. The sweet peas are self sown from last summer and the daphne and dahlia I planted 2 years ago. The difference is now box plants aren't  stealing all the nutrients from the soil and I don't have to climb over the hedge to get in there and weed. The pluses are also I now have a bigger area to grow fragrant picking flowers  and  we don't have to continually trim the box hedge.  This garden area already had a concrete strip along the front.
 I now have all the garden beds I plan to have and will just maintain and enjoy them. 
 There is now just one box hedge left on the property.
 The vege garden is producing well and Grandsons enjoy finding and picking strawberries   ( lots ) and blueberries ( just a few ) when they are here.

  1. Your garden looks lovely, shame about the tree breaking.

  2. Those flowers look so much better than a boring old hedge! I love glads but have never seen that lime color.I hope your tree can be fixed rather than losing all those branches. Hard to believe it's already two years since you moved house. The years do seem to scamper by at an increasingly alarming rate as we get older!

  3. All looks lovely and growing well - and the glads in that awesome lime color are so beautiful. Sad the tree has been damaged - but perhaps it will survive a good pruning and bounce back within the next few years.

    Sending best wishes to you and the family for the holiday season. It will be much different here as COVID continues to get much worse. Our state - North Carolina - is back under curfew come Friday night, and getting out and about will become more difficult. So many businesses going under - I feel so sad for so many.

    Stay well - hugs, Mary

  5. What a pity about your tree. I hope you can prune it into a decent shape. Your other garden bed are looking very pretty. Our gladdies aren’t even in bud yet, let alone flowering. The line green ones are always spectacular.
