Sometimes I wonder :
where do the days go ?
This last August day was the fifth Saturday
of the month :
I love Saturdays.
This Saturday I used
to go to a fun small plant market
(organized by "Groei & Bloei", a garden-lovers society)
with also some nice art and vintage.
I went with my dear garden-friend Rhonda
who was just back from a family visit
for a month Down Under !
Both our gardens are full ...
but we bought some plants nevertheless.
It is also the last Saturday (weekend)
of the school summer holidays :
school for the grandchildren will start again on Monday.
Free fun time over !
(though not for us)
Last week the house painter finally began with some work :
the railing of the balcony needed some serious paint and repair
(from far away it still looks all right ...)
which meant however
I had to cut back the Buddleja and the Wisteria
A few flowers were all that was left
(they had to go for the raising of the slabs too, so ...)
A lovely view on the greens with no railing left

I started on some new felting project
though I can't tell much about it yet
Preparations before I can really start
A LOT of thinking and planning needed ...
(((Els))) your garden is always a delight to see & love your wild felted spines!
BeantwoordenVerwijderen((Mo)) it's rather small, three trees : Ginkgo and one to the right, one to the left are ours, the rest are across the water (apartments 4 high behind them !)
Verwijderen(but I probably wouldn't manage much more ...)
I can't wait to see what those rainbow felted wiggles become :-)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWe are having our large shed replaced and I've had to severely cut back a couple of lovely roses. Hoping they recover and your wisteria too. Buddleia will survive anything
The spiky thing is drying right now ... :-) but can't tell anything yet.
VerwijderenIt really hurts cutting back lovely plants .... can't you take cuttings ??? I got from a friend some cuttings from a rambling wild rose thingy .... doubted it at first but they're doing just fine ! Hope the hide the "bad" Malus next year !
I didn't think of taking cuttings - silly me, especially as The Man can make almost anything grow as long as it doesn't mind being overwatered! I shall look forward to an update on "the spiky thing"
VerwijderenGood luck with the Saturday market, hope the weather shines on you
((Kat)) thank you !
