This weekend saw another few hours of work on the garden. I worked on the very top bed, next to the shed. Ripped out a rather pathetic example of a rose and some other plant that was looking a bit past it. Left the berry (can’t remember which one, pink flowers) in place, though trimmed it a bit, and also left the fatsia japonica.

Gave a good solid tug on the fence, and it decided to make friends with me, so I’ve pulled all of the rotten fencing out. Good thing the neighbour put up a new fence last year! Nipped out to Focus, and picked up some begonias for the second blue pot I have – just need to find a spot for it now. I might get a smaller pot for the chimney pot in the middle of the lawn and plant some begonias in there as well – it should look pretty good to have a burst of colour in the middle of the lawn.

The clematis is looking quite happy – it’s growing nicely, and the flower buds are showing, so it should bloom soon I hope. Supposed to be a ‘multi blue’, so we’ll see if it really is. No sign of any vegetables yet, but I suppose I’m expecting a bit too much. I’ll probably sow another set of carrots in the bed with the flowering cherry this weekend coming (or later this week), and perhaps find a spot or three to toss some onions in the ground.
