Finished chopping up and bagging stuff I'd pruned then made a trip to the tip, planted out the last of the tulips in the front and the Sweet William plants in the back borders. Also planted out a new Anemone in the back garden, a new Saxifrage I bought at Hardy's nursery I went to plant out was full of vine weevil grubs, I've cleaned it all and planted it in the garden, but not looking very hopeful  |

No wonder you were angry grindle, plants you pay for at a nursery should be pest free! It shocked me when my son took me to a nursery to get some plants for my birthday to find that the Peruvian Lilies were covered in heavy mildew! I found a couple of plants that weren't infected which at least showed they were mildew resistant. Yesterday I spent half an hour or so on the balcony doing some cleaning up and moving plants around. I put all the pots of fuchsias underneath the balcony table and watered them. They will now spend the winter there. But I haven't moved the standard Fuchsia 'Garden News' yet. When frost is forecast I will wrap some fleece around it to give it a little more protection and then put it on the balcony table beside the mini greenhouse for the winter. |
