SixOnSaturday

It has been raining Caterpillar and dogs the last day or two , with more to come , the garden is middling spongy underfoot as a result . I may struggle for horticulture motive this weekend , although the listing of thing that need doing is beginning to creep up . Perhaps I can restrict myself to job in the greenhouse or shed .   Time for Six on Saturday . Six matter , in the garden , on a Saturday . Could be anything – a flower , a line to do , a crop , a seedling , a puddle , anything at all ! link up in .

Here are my Six .

1 – Angelica stem .   I ca n’t remember now if these are a. gigas or a. archangelica . The latter I think . Regardless they are a lustrous rhubarbesque pinko .   To be honest these plants have not do brilliantly . They are meant to be quite Junoesque but these , not so much .   They get next summer to sort themselves out then they ’re compost fodder . abrasive but fair .

2 – Hellebore bud . These were cheapo hellebores , your introductory white model . I constitute them at the Qaeda of the cercis canadensis . They are well on their way to developing .

3 – Compost bay , full .   Last week I was lament an empty compost bay and maunder about getting my arse in gear . The universe intervened , my neighbour offered a few barrows of his freshly turn in load of conifer chippings .   I build a good deal with whatever else was handy , so it is not a perfectly balanced heap mix - smart .   Perhaps because of that it is stubbornly refusing to ignite up , sticking between 25 and 30 grade . Disappointing .

4 – doughy colocasia .   I want to issue these back and de - compost and dry off the rootstock . They can then be stored for the winter somewhere wry , the shed or glasshouse perhaps .

5 – Rose ‘ danse de feu ’ .   Possibly the last hurrah of 2019 for this flora , and likely rose in general in my garden .

6 – Geranium macrorrhizum bevan ’s mixture .   These plants need cutting back now , the new foliage is coming through at the base . They will search a raft tidier , a chore for this weekend .   I might move a few of them , we ’ll see .

It looks like being fairly wet here this weekend , but I hope you handle to get some gardening done .   Do n’t forget to check in later on as more links get added during the day .

I ’ll be back next weekend with another # SixOnSaturday .
