Another Greenhouse

Posted by Raymond Mueller in Gardening Today

A long term friend phoned recently
said I have a ‘stump’ you see.
I’d would like it removed quite quickly
& in return a cup of tea.
And also if you would’nt mind
I have this greenhouse which is a bind
I had it dismantled as I no longer need it
& weeds are now growing in between it.
I need it moving as I cant get to the gate.
I asked what size? said 16×8 !! :-O

Batten down the hatches

Posted by Raymond Mueller in Gardening Posts

Its foul out and my optimistic purchases of the last weeks are still in their bags but the pots and trays that I washed last week in preparation are now blown to the four winds of the damp patch euphamistically termed the garden.
So in anticipation I have researched how to start my begonia tubours off – looks similar to chitting potatoes to me , tray , potting compost , indented side up and lightly cover.Begonias were the triumph of the damp patch last year – super enoromous ,colourful, leaves with interest, lasted until mid October . I grew them in pots and have bought more this year – I did save the tubours from last year as well.
Also to occupy this grey day I have purchased online a vast array of lilies and some perenials – this weather is so dangerous when more gardenning and less spending is needed!!!!!
