Out and about in the Garden!

I feel like an old woman sometimes!!!! Just because of our mad weekend the eating and drinking routine went right out the window and boy have a suffered, hence the no post yesterday!! Its getting to be a right pain (and it is)to be honest, I think I may have to go back to the GP becuase I'm sure this can't be right!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, yes Ruth you where right it is a variagated brugmansia



I really need to pot them all into bigger pots, but have you seen the price of large plant pots, unbelievable, not so bad when you want to buy 3 or 6 for your tomato plants but 25, well that requires a mortgage!!!!! lol!!!

Well I surprised myself, I wrote that first bit about 8am this morning and saved it as a draft, I have just come in from repotting all but 5 of the brugmansia's into bigger pots!!! Yes thats right I had 20 big pots loitering around the garden!!!! So I only need to buy 5!! (at the moment, anyway!)

Look....




and that isn't all of them!!

I use coir and get it from here it comes in blocks which you have to soak



this is soaking for my big brugmansia which I have still to pot up in a larger pot!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a few pics from around the garden



Queen Elizabeth Rose and greenfly!!!!




My neighbours rambling rose, it has never bloomed like it has this year!



I bought this old chicken feeder a few years ago, (I like to be different) I only planted it up last week but look at the Bizzie Lizzies.

When it's big enough I'll be pleading for variagated Brugmansia cuttings! What a fantastic crowd you have now....do you know the colours or will it be a surprise? That's a really pretty rosebud. Happy Gardening..

Looks beautiful - 25 plants - you will be in business won't you. Well done

How many pots does that bale of coir pot up? Free postage is good.

You are so talented - your jungle plant business will really take off - you will be so very busy.

Congratulations.

The Lizzies are very bizzie, just like Libby. ;-)

Love that variegated Brugmansia and the pretty yellow flowers. What is that plant called again?

Is it me or is it getting very leafy on your blog? ;-)
