Christmas, December, Winter

This December has so far been very mild here in Our Garden@19 with only one frost.

The cannas and dahlias are all lifted…..

….safely stored in the garden shed with fleece covering for the cold nights.

The tender plants are divided between the two greenhouses…

Two small areas have been planted with Tulips also Foxgloves, Wallflowers and Forget-me-nots, along with several pots in the hope that we will be able to join the village church open gardens in early May.

The majority of the pots are stored over winter on the patio in the hope that the squirrels do not find them!

One of the many ‘Estate’ maintenance jobs for this winter was to replace the trellis fence between the White and Green garden and the Blue Borders…

It edges the path where the badgers enter the garden, I was concerned, due to its poor condition, they would push through into this area of the garden instead of following their usual path via the ground bird feeder.

With help from my brother, we managed to replace it in one day with Rebar steel mesh normally used in reinforced concrete, without doing too much damage to the climbing Iceberg rose.

  • I have used Rebar before it is an excellent replacement for trellis.

In The Oriental Garden the Magnolia ‘Stella’ fury buds are forming.

One of my aims within the garden is to try and have something in flower or of interest in the garden throughout the year, this month it is the Hamamelis Moll  Pallida (Witch Hazel).

Below is the last garden tour video for 2020, here’s hoping for a better 2021. Please turn your sound on select full screen, play and enjoy.

Winter Solstice and Merry Christmas.

Christmas, flowerpower, Our Garden@19, Plants, Winter

A Christmas gift of Hippeastrum first flowered with six blooms, now on its second flourish with five blooms.

Plants can provide not only pleasure, also optimism with a feeling of wellbeing, very welcome during the dark days of January.

What is giving you joy in your gardening world?
