Winding Down!

Sometimes I find this time of year a bit sad, :(  with ever think dying back and that.
But I also fine this time of year exciting too. 

Time to tidy up, cut back the Rhododendrons, St John's Wort.  Putting a new cover on my little green house and putting warmth around my plants in there too.
Plus time to plan for the next year, with planting bulbs and sorting out what new things to bring in!

And What a year I have had!

Bye bye Tiny Tim

24th Sept 2011

I had to say goodbye to the tiny Tim tomatos


They went weird disease and I had Flowers. But nothink happen,
 a part from introducing white, green fly to the garden. :(
So I thought it was best that tiny Tim went!

Hello new meadows!! 

(I'll post pictures soon - as soon as I can get them off my phone!)

The Last Harvest

Today 24th Sept was the last harvest of tomato's.


After picking them it was time to say goodbye!

Last week I collected some of the seeds from one of the
Chocolate tomato's.  I made my only seed disc's using cotton pads
(make-up remove pads)



Tiny Meadows

Ever since I saw the report on wildflower meadows by James Wong on Countryfile in August 2010.  I have been wanting to create my own.

But I was not sure, how I was going to achieved this.
Because like most of us, I do not own bits of the beautiful countryside.  I know this sounds really bad, But this is how
I felt back in September 2010..

Since then I have worked out. That I can have them, but much smaller.  Silly really how I thought I could not have them.

So when I went shopping I bought a box of wildflower seed.

It was not til March when I needed to move my buddleia from the pot on the wall, that it appeared from.  Too a pot by my rhododendron......


If I remember right the little Blue flower is called Borage.
 Sorry the light weren't so good

The strip!!

Just over a week ago, I decide to strip the leaves off my tomato's.  Because the sun was not getting to the fruit. 
Plus the leaves were not looking so good, curling up to heaven.


This is how they look now!!


Since then I have been busy harvesting the fruit...
