My Mistakes with Chrysanthemums

If you're looking to buy a new home right now, chances are you've spent plenty of weekends attending open houses. It can be an exciting, albeit anxious time, but it's important to be on your best behavior—especially when the seller's agent is on site.

Growing Indoor Plants in Water might seem like an easy task, but there are inevitable blunders you can make while doing so. In this article, you will learn how to avoid making such mistakes!

When it comes to designing your home, indoor spaces like the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms tend to take first priority. But that doesn’t mean your outdoor spaces should be overlooked. Any outdoor space, whether you’re lucky enough to have a large backyard, pool deck, front porch, or even a small balcony, can serve as a natural extension of your interior design and add to the overall style of your home.

Notes

Another wet and rainy day and all I can think about is the compost heap (well may be not all). We all slip up, drop clangers and get it wrong so I thought I would list some of my own compost errors or lash-ups.

With my new found enthusiasm for Chrysanthemums I thought I would have a day reviewing my gardening performance, sorting out my Chrysanthemums in the greenhouse and planning actions to improve my show of next year.

Slugs and Snails

This natural pattern of succulent leaves was spotted in my garden as the Autumn flowering Sedum Spectabile burst forth this Spring. This follows the patten in the leaves at the end of a branch of Monkey Puzzle Tree and set me thinking. Many gardeners spend a lot of time and effort to get patterns of colour and texture, variety of shape and form or harmonious patterns to please the eye but nature does it best.

Think before you allow poppies to proliferate. Poppies rob a lot of goodness from your soil.

Ulex europaeus better known as Gorse, furze, furse or whin is a very prickly shrub of the pea family. Western gorse Ulex gallii is frequent in the western side of Britain and is relatively low growing yet robust. Dwarf gorse or Ulex minor is a low growing, sprawling shrub.

The new year gets gardeners all enthused but it is also a time to show patience. The gnomes wont rush to help you anytime soon Hi-ho.

A happy and pleasant surprise has just arrived through the post at home.
