SixOnSaturday

The weather condition has been a bit depressed for most of this week but has brightened up nicely , just in time for me to belt down out and take these photo . I am hopeful that it will also be nice on Sunday when I shall be tackle a somewhat long runnel ( 27 klick ) in the nearby countryside . This is all training for a series of longer events I have book this class . The running and inevitable snoozing that follows does feed into my available horticulture time , but I am conciliate to this . A brief dabble at the weekends is all I feel like doing at the moment anyway .

prison term for Six on Saturday . Six thing , in the garden , on a Saturday . Could be anything , you decide . get together in !

Here are my Six for this week …

1 – Neglected daffs . In a crime against bulb - variety I travail these up last spring and never quite get around to doing anything with them . They have sit outside in this pail , in all atmospheric condition , for the ripe part of a year . Unperturbed by this they are about to flower . Bad gardener .

2 – It ’s square to be a hip joint . I noticed a squadron of small rose hips on my garish purple ‘ oh wow ’ rose . It has reminded me that it will soon be time to crop the climbing roses .

3 – Hydrangea ‘ Annabel ’ . Grown from a cutting a few yr ago this plant is doing pretty well since I plant it out a couple of years back . Annabel is prostrate to floppage but last year two or three canes and some drawstring was enough to keep her standing to attention . Once the danger of Robert Lee Frost has passed I ’ll prune back to some good raw outgrowth but for now she brook there , a signature of the Miss Havishams about her .

4 – Wisteria , pruned . As advertised last workweek , I managed to get out and prune the wayward wisteria . I have the two unmoveable pruning , one midsummer(ish ) , one midwinter(ish ) but I find I ’m often lopping annoying halt off , it is quite rampant . Does n’t seem to do it any harm .

5 – Amelanchier bud . Of the two tree I bought a couple of years ago ( the other was cercis canadensis , very bolshy tree ) , this one is doing much serious . It ’s a good shape , deal of leg and it colours very nicely in the fall . I ’m cogitate of planting a bare clematis [ what do you intend you do n’t have a trim clematis ? Does n’t everyone ? ] near it to clamber up through the many branch . In the meantime we can front forward to some bronze - tinged leaves .

6 – Clematis , new ontogenesis . In a further sign of lovely things to come , when I was pruning the wistaria I was thrust to prune the clematis that grows through it . There is some very nice new outgrowth . This is my most fledged clematis , ‘ Rebekah ’ . She is a liberal and beefy girl now , well overtopping the 6′ trellis which if I ’m not careful means that the trampoline on the other side gets the honorable of the flowers . Some forward founder boost is necessary . I ordinarily prune the many clematis at around the remnant of January so this is n’t too early . As for the eternal sleep , a job for next weekend , then before you know what ’s going on it ’ll be incessant tying in .

Have a fab weekend , stay dependable , and do n’t forget to pop back later as more golf links get contribute during the day .

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