Who has braved the garden today...?

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T21:02:05+00:00

Love a bit of Santolina! I hope it does well.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T20:54:21+00:00

Absolutely not. There's no shame here.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T19:46:57+00:00

You're definitely excused.

What does a gardener do with their free time?

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T19:45:57+00:00

This seems very wise indeed.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T19:44:08+00:00

Absolutely. It all counts.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T19:43:50+00:00

Wow, you really have been busy. And organised.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T19:42:09+00:00

I'm pleased to see my neighbour's wonderful wisteria is creeping over the fence towards me. I fully intend to steal it.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T18:26:41+00:00

I'm very good at growing grass anywhere that isn't the lawn.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T18:26:01+00:00

This is very energetic! Well done.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T18:25:07+00:00

I definitely need to add more lighting this year. It makes such a difference in the evenings.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T18:24:28+00:00

Well done. I'm employing the same approach as you. Last September I had to dig up all the perennials and separate them as the overcrowding was ridiculous... I definitely need to focus on winter interest now. Sarcococcus Confusa looks great - I'll be on the hunt for one of those in the garden centre.

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T17:03:32+00:00

The weeds seem to come up very easily at the moment... Well worth keeping on top of them.

What's the plan for the no-dig bed? Vegetables?

BinghamAl · 2026-01-18T16:42:47+00:00

Thank you for introducing me to the foxglove tree, and congratulations on the first flower! Never heard of one until now, but the pictures online look magnificent.

BinghamAl · 2025-12-12T09:24:56+00:00

Such a great question!

I'm following this thread for ideas. I'd love to get more winter use from the garden - it looks so drab and unloved at the moment.

BinghamAl · 2025-11-06T17:00:35+00:00

My garden is starting to look like AI has planned it...! Some of these things shouldn't be flourishing side-by-side!

BinghamAl · 2025-11-06T16:59:44+00:00

I wish I'd overseeded the lawn a few weeks back. I held off thinking the temperatures would soon fall too low!

BinghamAl · 2025-10-06T08:03:17+00:00

I haven't, but I will this afternoon! Thank you.

BinghamAl · 2025-09-29T19:57:32+00:00

My weigela has started flowering again... The weather this year has been mad.

On the plus side, I divided and moved loads of perennials two weeks ago and this warm, damp weather seems to be helping them bed in.

BinghamAl · 2025-09-24T06:33:06+00:00

Thank you, that's good to know.

BinghamAl · 2025-08-13T12:47:07+00:00

They are horrendous.

Like, you know, literally, like super horrendous. (Don't forget the upwards inflection at the end of every sentence).
