Gardening

[Mike Cledford]

I must say the Blue Moon Gardeners' Time thread is preferable to the various political threads.
Will plan for for the first tidy up tomorrow whilst walking the dog on a nice sunny day.
Spring is always a good time to be a Blue.

Thanks, a Clematis will do ok with no sun?

We have three that barely get any sun in a garden that’s on the North end of the house and partially behind shrubs. They don’t thrive but the do well enough to put some flowers out.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Just given the lawn a bit of a haircut on a high setting, will drop it for the remainder of the season. Loads of moss but that disappears by late spring, might give the pond a clearout if I can motivated myself but apart from that, everything else seems to be coming up roses....

I’m jealous. Last chance of frost here Is usually the long weekend at the end of May.

Lawns cut last weekend and rolled, removed the moss and seeded a few patches, jet washed the path and patio, bulbs showing in the beds, it's a sunny afternoon down here able to sit out in our cabin with the doors open watching City win, and Brighton mess things up!
Getting the pizza oven going tomorrow spring has certainly sprung here.

Try climbing hydrageas, they are ideally suited to north facing ie no sun

I know it's not gardening as such but at 60 years old and a year of lockdown I've discovered I'm in no fit state to dig a French drain, by hand, down the side of the house. Had to disturb a wysteria, a clematis and a few other climbers but hopefully it'll cure the damp problem. I'll feel it in the morning.

Been feeding the birds all through winter, but they've have made a right mess of the lawn under the bushes especially the Doves and Wood Pigeons

Cheers I've been suggested this before and I know my local nursery has some, so that's tomorrow's job. When I say no sun, it will never get direct sun ever at any point, where I plan to put it. See how we go!
