There have been some changes in the Victorian garden. Unfortunately the Lupins were hammered by greenfly and I sprayed them with weedkiller, not bug spray. Doh!
So, I've whipped out the plants and put in some sweetcorn and French beans.
The wallflowers had the chelsea chop but didn't flower again, so took them out too and replaced with Sutherland Kale.
The hostas in the tilet-planter have escaped the slugs quite lightly. I've been getting the torch out and doing midnight slug hunts. Some get chucked over the fence while others get moved to the compost bin. Depends how malicious I'm feeling...
The pond has reached a good balance, not too much algae. Treated myself to three new English Koi, who've settled in well.
The bed at the back of the pond is developing well. The Crocosmia are just coming in to flower, as are the Rudbeckia.
The hanging baskets are doing well. Need regular watering at the moment.
At the back of the garden the bamboo has started to sprout.
The shade garden is great for sitting and relaxing at the end of a long day gardening...
