It has been a very busy month. Pop and are heading off in a few days on a
wonderful holiday so I have been trying to get the garden all up to date for “Steph”
who will be dog/house sitting for us.
The orchids have been coming out in flower although I haven’t
had many blooms on each plant. Sis told
me I need to feed them more and make sure they get enough light – something to
work on.
The azaleas have been beautiful. I really do love these plants – no maintenance
needed and year after year they just put on a brilliant show.
One of my rhododendrons in the back yard was looking very
sad, with its leaves hanging down like it needed water. The soil was wet but was very sandy so I
moved the plant to side garden. It hasn't looked back and has lots of new leaves and it looks really happy. Nice when a gamble pays off.
I haven’t planted anything much in the veggie garden but
will plants some tomatoes and the rest of the usual suspects on our return.
