...and still they bloom!

caddymanThis afternoon we did a bit of light gardening, just a bit of tidying up and late planting. We have put a large wooden pot with a Wisteria against the trellis outside the kitchen in the hope that it is not too shady (in the summer it should be okay) and that we will, over the next few years, get a massive flowery bloom in the summer once the clematis has had its day.
Fingers crossed.
I advanced on the roses with a view to dead heading them for the winter and although I managed to cut some of it back, I hadn't the heart to finish the job; there are still buds everywhere and there is still the chance of further flowering provided the frosts keep off. I know very little about gardening, but it seems rather late in the season to me, but there you go.
I took this photo of a particularly splendid little specimen on the smaller of the two roses we have in the garden. I have since sliced it off and we have it in the kitchen where we can see it. Being at work all day and it being dark when we get home, the rose would be lost to us, so we thought we'd have the benefit for a few days:
Further down the garden the onions we planted a few weeks ago, with a view to harvesting them in the spring, have started putting out shoots already.
The world is going turvy topsy.
Fingers crossed.
