Here's the finished pergola though
I'm not sure what to do with the sides yet (if anything), I'll make a decision once the trellis is up.
Remember those Bamboo plants that my daughter saved for me from work, the ones that were in the skip? The ones that were about 15ft tall and we had to transport them home in a car? Well it seems that not even Homebase can kill Golden bamboo - a bit of repotting, feed, lots of water and some TLC and they're paying me back
I'm so pleased they survived even though they looked just about had it, I now have £120.00 worth of bamboo for free.
I've never grown Verbena but I picked up 3 plants on sale at a garden centre earlier in the year. The 3 plants are still in pots and growing well but a week ago I thought I'd snip the tops off, bung them in some compost and put them in the heated propagator.
I'm not the best cutting taker and 99% of what I cut usually dies but lookit
Only a week old and they're shooting up. Think I'm going to take some more!
Finally can anyone name this plant, I got it from my mums old garden and left it in a pot just to see what it does. I'd love to know what it is.
Oh, one more thing. After 3 years absence look what has come back to the new feeding station in my garden
Siskins - I think!
