Autumn Garden Jobs & Making The Best Of A Sad Situation 😊

Such a gorgeous calm Autumnal day in the garden, with beautiful blue skies and warm sunshine, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to get a few garden jobs ticked off my list.

I am planting up my windowbox with Carex ‘Everest’, potting up my Picea Glauca ‘Daisy’s Whites’ (which I will replant into the borders once the first hard frost has taken my annuals and there is more room) and then replanting that container with Carex ‘Evergold’.

I’m also potting up some of my Pelargoniums to see how they do being overwintered in my greenhouse (which is actually more of a coldframe).

My friend Edie has given me a panicle Hydrangea (not sure which variety) so I’m planting that.

And then I’m very sad to report that 3 of the Ilex Stokes planted around my new ombré green pot in Container Garden have died - that is the trouble with a formal design! So I’m moving the remaining 2 over into Fountain Garden. And I’ve replaced the Ilex Stokes with a circle of lavender I have elsewhere in my garden.

So .. a very productive day in the garden today and I hope you enjoy this video!
