Garden thought for the day

"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it , it's your world for the moment." -         Georgia O'Keefe  

Don't you just love the beauty of a single bloom? Take time out  to stroll  through your garden  and smell the roses.

5 Things to do in your garden in January

It is a new year and we all had newyear's resolutions to whip our gardens into shape. So how about committing to a monthly garden activity schedule?  I will be posting some ideas every month to get you started.
  1. Tend to your roses
    - Make sure there is a good mulch around your roses
    - Spray for black spot
  2. Remove dead growth from lavender and daisy plants.
    - Pot up the cuttings for new plants.
  3. Fertilize those plants you want to look especially nice on Valentine's day e.g agapanthas and roses.
  4. Deadhead plants that flowered when you were away.
  5. Prune trees that need it after all the rain we received during December.
