I’m starting to turn my
thoughts to the end of the summer and Autumn now, some of my summer plants are
looking tired so its time to roll up my sleeves and spend a week-end clearing
and replacing anything that’s looking a bit shabby. We’re just starting to get
some Autumn stock in to the Garden centres now so there’s plenty of yummy new
plants to choose from to get the gaps filled.
My Lavender and
Santonlina border has looked fantastic for a couple of months now but the
flowers are just going over and they are looking a bit straggly. They’re in for
a good hard chop but only as far as the start of this current years growth to
encourage them to thicken up without going all leggy. The aromatic foliage has
definitely discouraged the local cats from using that border as a litter box
which was becoming a problem. A great success all in all!
